Gentle Care for Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last set of teeth to erupt. For many patients, these teeth cause pain, crowding, or other complications that make extraction the healthiest option. At Smiles of Fulshear, Dr. Tan Ngo provides safe and comfortable wisdom teeth extractions, helping patients avoid future dental problems and maintain healthy smiles.

What Are Wisdom Teeth Extractions? Preventing Problems Before They Start

Wisdom teeth extractions involve removing one or more of the third molars located at the back of the mouth. These teeth often lack enough space to emerge properly, leading to impaction, crowding, or infections. Extraction is performed to prevent pain and protect the alignment of your other teeth.

Dr. Ngo uses advanced techniques and anesthesia options to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. By removing problematic wisdom teeth, you can avoid future issues and keep your oral health on track.
