Our experienced team can assist you in the removal of your impacted wisdom teeth that are difficult extractions and have retained carious roots.
A wisdom tooth or a third molar is the furthest tooth in each quadrant of your mouth. Wisdom teeth generally appear between the ages of 17 and 25 years. Most adults have four wisdom teeth, but it is possible to have fewer, more or even none.
Wisdom teeth have long been identified as a source of problems and continue to be the most commonly impacted teeth in your mouth. A lack of room to allow the teeth to erupt results in a risk of periodontal disease and caries (tooth decay) that increases with age.
At Butler Dental we will thoroughly examine your wisdom teeth and take a detailed history from you. We have the facilities to carry out a large digital x-ray of your jaws to assess the position and condition of your wisdom teeth and its surrounding structures.
We will then form a diagnosis and discuss the pros, cons, risks and benefits of surgical removal of your third molars.
If you or your child are particularly anxious at the thought of receiving oral surgery we offer inhalation and intravenous sedation at Butler Dental.
