FAQs

Teeth removal often comes with questions. This FAQ covers the most common concerns so you know what to expect before, during, and after treatment.

Will I be awake during the extraction?

You choose the sedation level—local, nitrous, oral, or IV. Most patients feel nothing and remember little.

How long does the recovery take?

Plan on 2–3 days of rest; swelling peaks at 48 hrs then drops quickly. We give you written instructions, ice packs, and a 24-hr emergency line.

Do I need all of my wisdom teeth removed at once?

Not always. After a 3-D scan we’ll show you which teeth are truly problematic and let you decide the safest, most affordable plan.

What if my wisdom teeth aren’t causing pain? Should I still remove them?

Silent impactions can damage neighboring roots or create cysts. We’ll assess risk vs. benefit so you make an informed, future-proof choice.

Does insurance cover wisdom tooth extractions?

Most PPO dental plans pay 50–80 %. We file your claim the same day; uninsured patients receive our exact cash fee and optional 0 % financing.
