Most commonly, wisdom teeth are removed the late teens or early twenties, though we can meet the needs of most patients at any age.

During the procedure, sedation will make you feel relaxed, comfortable, and unaware of the passage of time. In addition to IV sedation, we use local anesthetics to numb the mouth to minimize pain.
