Wisdom Teeth Removal Queen Creek, AZ

Our anesthesia-certified dentist can remove wisdom teeth in the comfort of our office without requiring a referral to an oral surgeon. This provides the convenience of being seen in our office, by familiar surroundings and staff members, at a cost significantly lower than at a specialist’s office.

Before removing wisdom teeth, you will be given an anesthetic to numb the area where the tooth will be removed. IV sedation is typically used, especially if several or all of your wisdom teeth will be removed at the same time. IV sedation prevents pain in the whole body and will cause you to sleep through the procedure. It is required that you do not eat or drink after midnight on the night before surgery so that you are prepared for the anesthetic.

Third molars, also called wisdom teeth, are the last set of teeth to erupt in a person's mouth. Wisdom teeth can endanger a patient's dental health and require extraction. They can force other teeth or roots out of alignment and can damage your bite. They can also cause jaw discomfort, swelling, and a greater risk of gum disease.

At Affinity Dental Queen Creek, our anesthesia-certified dentists offer wisdom teeth removal services in Queen Creek in the comfort of our office without requiring a referral to an oral surgeon. This provides the convenience of being seen in our office, in familiar surroundings and with staff members, at a cost significantly lower than at a specialist’s office.

To remove the wisdom teeth, the gum tissue over the teeth will be opened up to take out any bone that is covering the teeth. The tissue connecting the teeth to the bone will then be separated and the teeth will be removed. Sometimes the teeth will be cut into smaller pieces to make it easier to remove.

After the teeth are removed, stitches are usually required. Some stitches dissolve over time and some have to be removed after a few days. A follow-up appointment will be scheduled for Dr. Wettstein to ensure the areas are healing well and to remove stitches, if necessary.

Though there are several types of dental crowns available, porcelain same-day crowns are perhaps the best. In most cases, crowns are used to protect weak teeth from breaking, to cover misshapen or discolored teeth, to protect teeth with large fillings, and to make a cosmetic modification. Crowns are also necessary to restore functionality to a cracked, chipped, broken, or decaying tooth. Using CEREC means treatment is fast, painless, and highly predictable. Patients love not having to set a second appointment and take more time out of their busy schedules to come to the dentist. In fact, many patients even enjoy the process as they’re able to work together with Dr. Kelly B. Wettstein while viewing the 3D model of their mouth, in real-time, on a computer screen. In the hands of your skilled and attentive dentist at Affinity Dental, the CEREC CAD CAM system can provide you with a beautiful, long-lasting, quality restoration.
