Expert Wisdom Teeth Removal at Riccobene in Columbia, SC

With advanced technology and a gentle approach, we offer wisdom teeth removal done by our expert team in Columbia, SC, serving the entire family.

What are the benefits of removing wisdom teeth?

Wisdom teeth removal is a common dental procedure to extract the third molar teeth. Sometimes these teeth don’t have enough space to come in properly, which causes pain and other dental issues. Removing it is often the best and safest option. It relieves pain and gives more room to the neighboring teeth.

When Is Wisdom Teeth Removal Surgery Needed?

We recommend wisdom teeth removal if you experience:

  • Jaw pain or tooth pain in the back of the mouth
  • Swelling, redness, or infection around the gums
  • Crowding or shifting of the neighboring teeth
  • An impacted wisdom tooth that is trapped under the gum or jawbone.
What Happens During a Wisdom Tooth Extraction?
  • Sedation Options: You can choose from local anesthesia, oral sedation, or IV sedation to keep you comfortable.
  • Extraction: The dentist gently removes the tooth. The procedure is quick and professionally done.
  • Your dentist will provide some aftercare to make sure the area heals properly.
What Is Recovery Like After Wisdom Teeth Removal?

Most patients recover within a few days to a week. Common side effects include mild swelling, soreness, and limited jaw movement. We recommend resting, eating soft foods, using ice packs, and taking pain medications to help with healing. Contact your dentist if you experience increasing pain, swelling, or signs of infection.

How Much Does Wisdom Teeth Removal Cost?

The cost of a wisdom teeth removal varies based on whether the tooth is impacted and the type of sedation used. Most dental insurance plans provide partial coverage for extractions. We also offer flexible payment plans to make it more affordable. Give us a call to discuss your coverage and payment options.

A great start towards my new smile 😁😁😁. I had another amazing experience yesterday on the 24th January. I was scheduled for one tooth extraction, but it was so pleasant and the Dentist technic was so enjoyable, to include his bedside manner along with his technician. I asked Dr Farhan if I could just have my other tooth that needed pulling. Pulled right now. So the procedure again was successful and a joy. No problems what so ever. They got a special kind of skill going on with the entire team at RiccoBene Associates. Thank again for a wonderful experience.

First off nikki at the front desk is amazing she is the sweetest cutest soul. The hygenist i believe her name was elaina took her time and was gentle which i love with having senitive teeth. The dentist himself does not push anything on you which i truly appreciate. Im happy I gave them a shot considering this was my very first dentist experience in columbia.There is also another girl who works there and i apologize im not great with names,but she is a jack of all trades and deserves a mention as well! great staff!

I had an excellent first visit for dentures. Dr. Riccobene went above and beyond to get my imprints correct. My mouth is small and he adjusted the trays. I definitely recommend him and his staff. They were friendly, professional and kind.

Going to the dentist can be like going to get an oil change-you go in expecting to get one thing and then they try to upsell you on several other things that you never asked for. After a previous experience with an apparent dollar-focused dental clinic, I was relieved to find in Riccobene an honest, straightforward practice. So here's a quick snapshot of my Riccobene experience. Customer service: Top tier! Ms. Nikki, the office manager, is amazing. She was awesome with handling the transfer of my case. Ms. Aury at the front desk is very warm and welcoming. Dr. Farhan was knowledgeable and polite. Mr. Chris, the dental hygienist, was extremely thorough in my cleaning. Scheduling: On point! Whereas many other offices had a waiting period of up to two months, I was able to get in within a week of calling. Environment: Very elegant decor with the latest cutting-edge technology. Services: Chef's kiss! My deep cleaning left me feeling like a new person. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and am happy to have found my new dental home.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does wisdom teeth removal take in Columbia, SC?

The extraction typically takes 30 to 60 minutes for a standard procedure. However, more complicated cases with impacted teeth will take longer.

When should wisdom teeth be removed?

Wisdom teeth often need to be removed because there is not enough room in the mouth, which can cause crowding, impaction, pain, infection, or damage to the neighboring teeth.

What anesthesia or sedation options are available at Riccobene Associates Family Dentistry in Columbia, SC?

The type of anesthesia depends on the complexity of the extraction and your comfort. We offer local anesthesia to numb the area, sedation to help you relax, or general anesthesia to be completely asleep during the procedure.

What should I expect during recovery after extraction?

Recovery typically takes a few days to a week. We recommend that you rest and eat soft foods. Keep the extraction site clean to avoid infections as it heals fully.

What are common complications, and how are they managed?

Complications are rare but can include infection, dry socket, bleeding, swelling, or, in very rare cases, nerve injury. Follow your dentist’s aftercare instructions as they significantly reduce the risk of complications.

How soon can I eat and return to normal activities?

You can usually return to normal daily activities right after the tooth extraction. We recommend sticking to soft foods and gentle brushing so the area can heal properly.

How much does wisdom teeth removal cost in Columbia, SC?

The cost depends on the tooth; it can cost anywhere from $125 to over $800.

Does insurance cover wisdom teeth extraction at Riccobene Columbia?

Yes, dental insurance plans usually help cover part of the cost of wisdom teeth removal. We also offer different payment plans and financing options to help make treatment more affordable.

How do I schedule a wisdom teeth removal consultation at Riccobene, Columbia, SC?

To schedule a wisdom teeth removal consultation, feel free to call us or book an appointment online to get you in as soon as possible!

Do impacted wisdom teeth always need to be removed?

Yes, if a wisdom tooth is impacted, it is best to remove it to prevent further complications.

What should I do if a wisdom tooth becomes infected or painful?

If your wisdom tooth is infected or painful, call a dentist right away to get the tooth examined and treated.
