The ideal time to remove wisdom teeth is typically between the ages of 17 and 25, when the roots are still developing and the jawbone is less dense. Early removal minimizes the risk of impaction, crowding, and nerve complications—making the procedure easier and recovery smoother.
At Schaar Dental Wellness in Victoria, TX, we use advanced imaging and minimally invasive surgical techniques to ensure that wisdom tooth extractions are as safe, precise, and comfortable as possible.
Signs Your Wisdom Teeth Are Impacted
Impacted wisdom teeth are third molars that don’t have enough room to emerge or develop properly. When left untreated, they can lead to a range of painful and potentially serious issues.
You may need to consider wisdom tooth removal if you experience:
- Jaw pain or tenderness
- Swelling around the gums or jaw
- Stiffness or difficulty opening your mouth
- Pain while chewing near the back of the mouth
- Headaches or earaches associated with oral discomfort
Even if your wisdom teeth aren’t currently causing pain, they can still cause damage beneath the surface—such as cyst formation or crowding of other teeth. That’s why proactive evaluation is key. At Schaar Dental Wellness, we assess wisdom tooth development during routine visits and recommend removal at the ideal stage for your long-term oral health.
Advanced Oral Surgery in Victoria, TX
Wisdom tooth removal is a common form of oral surgery, but it requires precision—especially when dealing with deeply impacted molars or proximity to the jaw’s major nerves.
At Schaar Dental Wellness, Dr. Taylor Schaar uses 3D digital imaging to accurately map the location of your wisdom teeth and nearby anatomical structures. This technology helps:
- Identify nerve pathways and sinus locations
- Predict potential complications
- Plan for minimally invasive surgical access
This approach not only increases the safety of the procedure but also helps reduce trauma to surrounding tissue, making your recovery faster and more comfortable.
