Why Wisdom Teeth Extraction Matters
Wisdom teeth often begin causing problems in your late teens or early twenties, and if left untreated, they can lead to crowding, infections, and damage to surrounding teeth. In some cases, impacted wisdom teeth can contribute to cysts or decay in adjacent molars, leading to more complex dental issues down the line.
What Makes Our Wisdom Teeth Extraction Gentle and Stress-Free?
At Springs Dental Care, we emphasize a calm, patient-first approach. Our gentle techniques are enhanced by modern digital X-rays and local sedation options to reduce discomfort and anxiety. Every step is explained to you in detail so that you know what to expect.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll be welcomed with a smile and treated with the utmost respect. Dr. Adhikari’s calm demeanor and experienced touch are especially appreciated by patients with dental anxiety — a common concern for wisdom teeth procedures.
When Should You Remove Your Wisdom Teeth?
If you are experiencing:
- Jaw pain or stiffness
- Swollen gums near the back molars
- Chronic bad breath
- Difficulty opening your mouth
…it’s time to consult a professional. Wisdom teeth can remain impacted beneath the gum line or erupt at awkward angles, pressing against other teeth. Early evaluation is key. Our team uses panoramic imaging to assess root positioning, nerve proximity, and any signs of infection or cyst formation.
Cost of Wisdom Teeth Removal
We believe in transparent, affordable care. The cost of wisdom teeth extraction depends on factors like:
- Number of teeth being removed
- Complexity of extraction (impacted vs. erupted)
- Type of sedation requested
We accept many major insurance plans and offer flexible payment options. Our team will help you navigate dental benefits and provide clear estimates before treatment begins.
What to Expect After Your Wisdom Teeth Removal
Post-operative care is crucial. Our team will provide:
- Personalized recovery instructions
- Prescription medications or over-the-counter guidance
- Ice packs and diet recommendations
Most patients recover in 3–5 days with minor swelling or discomfort. Within a week, you’ll be back to enjoying your favorite activities.

FAQs About Wisdom Teeth Extraction
The ideal time is between ages 16–24 when the roots are still developing, making extraction easier and recovery faster.
Most extractions take 30–60 minutes, depending on the number and position of teeth removed.
We offer local anesthesia, oral sedation, and nitrous oxide. Dr. Adhikari will help you choose the most comfortable option for your needs.
Soft foods like yogurt and smoothies are recommended within the first 24–48 hours. Avoid hot, spicy, or crunchy foods for at least 3–5 days.
