Wisdom teeth are your third molars and typically the last set of permanent teeth to emerge in the back corners of your mouth. It’s possible for some people to have fewer or even no wisdom teeth, however, most people have four, with one located in each quadrant of your mouth (upper right, upper left, lower right, lower left).
Wisdom teeth typically start to emerge between the ages of 17 and 25, although this timing can vary from person to person. Some individuals’ wisdom teeth will emerge fully and properly aligned with the rest of their teeth, while others may encounter various issues related to the growth and positioning of their wisdom teeth.
We often recommend that patients see us during their late-teen years for a wisdom teeth evaluation to determine the condition of their wisdom teeth. While some people go through life with no wisdom teeth complications, it’s a good idea to see a dental professional who can analyze your mouth and take steps to prevent oral health issues from occurring down the line.
Not every wisdom tooth comes out the same way. How we remove yours depends on where the tooth sits and how much of it has come through the gum, which we confirm with an exam and 3D imaging before we plan your care.
| Simple extraction | Surgical extraction | |
|---|---|---|
| When it applies | The tooth has fully come through the gum. | The tooth is impacted or only partly through the gum. |
| How the tooth comes out | We numb the area and remove the tooth with dental instruments. | We make a small opening in the gum, may remove a little bone around the tooth, and may divide the tooth into sections so it comes out in pieces. |
| What to expect after | You receive detailed aftercare instructions. | We may close the area with a few small stitches, and you receive the same detailed aftercare instructions. |
At your consultation, our dentist will tell you which type applies to each tooth and walk you through your options. Nationwide Children's Hospital explains that removal can involve cutting through the gum tissue, taking away some of the bone around the tooth, and dividing the tooth into sections.

Proper aftercare is extremely important following a wisdom teeth extraction. To reduce the risk of infection and improve recovery:
Once the wound is fully healed, patients have a wide variety of tooth-replacement options to choose from, such as dental implants, bridges, or dentures. It is essential to replace a missing tooth to prevent damage to other teeth from biting forces/uneven pressure, avoid tilting or shifting of remaining teeth into the gap.
