- Ideal For: Teens and adults with pain, swelling, or crowding from wisdom teeth.
What Are Wisdom Teeth and Why Are They Removed?
Wisdom teeth are your last set of molars, usually emerging between ages 17 and 25. For many, these teeth get stuck (impacted) or come in at the wrong angle, triggering pain, swelling, and sometimes infection or damage to nearby teeth. Removal protects your oral health and stops small problems from growing into bigger ones.
How Wisdom Teeth Removal Works at Posh Dental
Extraction is a common in-office procedure. We’ll numb the area fully, or use sedation if you’d prefer. Using specialized tools, wisdom teeth are gently removed. Most extractions are completed in a single visit, thanks to advanced imaging and minimally invasive techniques for a smooth, efficient experience.
Pre-Treatment Steps
- Consultation: We start by listening to your concerns and reviewing your dental history.
- Diagnostics: Digital X-rays and cone beam imaging help us see your tooth position clearly.
- Treatment Plan: We explain your options, discuss sedation, and plan for a safe, smooth recovery.

Key Outcomes
Removing problematic wisdom teeth comes with both health and cosmetic benefits. By addressing impacted or overcrowded molars, you significantly lower your risk of gum infections and cysts while protecting the rest of your teeth from unwanted shifting or crowding. This can also help prevent jaw pain and reduce the likelihood of chronic swelling. On the cosmetic side, timely removal supports a well-aligned smile, helping you avoid issues like visible crowding or changes to your natural tooth alignment
Who Needs Wisdom Teeth Removal?
You might be a candidate if your wisdom teeth are:
- Causing pain, swelling, or infection
- Crowding or shifting your other teeth
- Stuck under the gums (impacted)
- At risk of infection or cysts
Who Should Reconsider?
- Patients with uncontrolled bleeding disorders without physician clearance
- Those with severe medical conditions may need hospital-based care
- Occasionally, when wisdom teeth are healthy, straight, and not causing issues, removal may not be necessary. It’s always best to get a consultation first to identify what the best plan of action is for you and your unique situation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I feel pain during or after wisdom teeth removal?
With sedation and modern anesthesia, most patients feel little to no discomfort during the procedure. Any soreness afterward can usually be managed with over-the-counter medication and ice packs. Our team is available if you ever have concerns.
Is it necessary to remove all four wisdom teeth?
Not everyone needs all four removed. We’ll use 3D imaging to assess if your wisdom teeth are likely to cause trouble now or in the future, removing only what is truly needed for your health and comfort.
Can I go back to work or school after the procedure?
Most people want a day or two at home to rest, especially if multiple teeth are removed or sedation was used. Routine activities often resume within 2–3 days.
What if my wisdom teeth aren’t bothering me?
Some wisdom teeth never cause problems. We only recommend removal if there’s a real risk of impaction, crowding, or infection. Every recommendation is personalized, no “one-size-fits-all” approach.
