Oral Surgery & Wisdom Teeth Extractions

We offer wisdom teeth and surgical dental extractions.

Wisdom teeth can be safely and gently removed by our experienced Practitioner Dr David Taub.

Wisdom teeth (third molars) get their name as they are the last teeth to come in during young adulthood.

As part of a dental visit, our dentist will examine you to see if your wisdom teeth are healthy and properly

Every patient is unique, but in general, our dentist or specialist might recommend their removal if there is evidence of changes in your mouth such as:

• pain
• infection
• cyst
• tumours
• damage to adjacent teeth
• gum disease
• tooth decay (if it is not possible or desirable to restore the tooth)

Our dentist or a specialist might also recommend their removal to prevent problems or for another reason.  The removal might be part of an orthodontic, restorative or periodontal treatment plan.

In addition, the condition of your mouth changes over time. Wisdom teeth that are not removed should continue being monitored, because the potential for developing problems still exists. As people age, they are at greater risk of health problems and that includes potential problems with wisdom teeth. Regular dental visits are important so our dentist can evaluate not only your wisdom teeth but your overall oral health too. Our dentist can then help you prevent and manage dental disease and achieve optimal oral health.
