Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last teeth to erupt—usually between ages 17 and 25, a period traditionally linked with “gaining wisdom.” However, in modern times, these teeth often cause more harm than good.
Our ancestors needed these extra molars to chew raw, coarse food, and their wider jaws had space for them. Today, with softer diets and better dental care, we retain our teeth longer—and there’s no room left for wisdom teeth. As a result, they often emerge in awkward angles or stay trapped beneath the gums.
Common Problems Caused
Most wisdom teeth become impacted, meaning they don’t erupt properly. This can lead to:
• Pain and discomfort
• Gum infections (pericoronitis)
• Decay in nearby teeth
• Crowding or misalignment
• Cyst formation in severe cases
Partially erupted wisdom teeth are also hard to clean, increasing the risk of decay and gum disease.The only effective treatment for impacted wisdom teeth is surgical extraction. This prevents complications and protects overall oral health.
Why Early Removal Helps
Dentists often recommend removing wisdom teeth early—even before symptoms appear. Early extraction reduces the risk of complications, ensures quicker healing, and helps avoid unnecessary pain or infections later. Wisdom teeth might sound wise, but they’re often outdated leftovers of evolution. If your dentist advises removal, it’s best not to wait.

Our Services
Clear aligners are transparent, removable trays that straighten teeth over time. They are a discreet alternative to traditional braces, offering comfort and convenience as they can be removed for eating and cleaning.
Braces are orthodontic devices used to correct misaligned teeth and jaws. They consist of brackets and wires that apply continuous pressure to move teeth into the desired position over time.
Crowns are caps placed over damaged teeth to restore their shape, size, and function. Bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent teeth or implants, providing a natural-looking and functional solution.
Growth modification is an orthodontic treatment aimed at correcting jaw discrepancies in growing children. It uses appliances to guide the growth of the jaw, ensuring proper alignment and bite.
Smile design involves a combination of cosmetic dental procedures to enhance the appearance of your smile. This can include veneers, crowns, teeth whitening, and orthodontics, tailored to achieve your desired look.
Root canal treatment is a procedure to save a severely infected or damaged tooth. It involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning the inside of the tooth, and sealing it to prevent further infection.
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium that are surgically placed into the jawbone. They provide a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth that match your natural teeth.
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic procedure that lightens the color of your teeth. It can be done in-office effectively removing stains and discoloration for a brighter smile.
Tooth fillings are used to restore cavities or damaged teeth. The decayed portion of the tooth is removed, and the area is filled with materials like composite resin, amalgam, or gold to restore its function and appearance.
Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone. It is performed when a tooth is severely damaged, decayed, or causing crowding, and cannot be saved by other treatments.
