Gentle Wisdom Teeth Removal in Fort Mill, SC

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

The procedure itself isn't painful because you will be under anaesthesia. Over the following days, you might experience some pain and discomfort, which can be managed with over-the-counter medication.

The type of anesthesia depends on the complexity of the extraction and your comfort level. We offer local anesthesia to numb the area, conscious sedation to help you relax, or general anesthesia for complete sleep during the procedure.

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.

For the first few days, we stick to soft foods and gentle brushing so the area can heal properly. Once the area is healed, you can return to eating normally.

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

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.

Not necessarily. Wisdom teeth need to be removed if there isn't enough room in the mouth, which can cause crowding, impaction, pain, infection, or damage to the surrounding teeth. But if there is no issue, you can choose to keep them. However, your dentist will likely suggest removal to avoid any potential issues in the future.

Signs to look out for are pain, swelling, sometimes bleeding gums, and headaches. If you are experiencing any of those symptoms, reach out to your dentist to get it checked out.

Yes, most patients are able return to normal daily activities right after the tooth extraction or the following day.
