Wisdom Teeth Removal in Richmond
Removing Wisdom Teeth With Care
Wisdom teeth usually appear in your late teens or early twenties—but not everyone has room for them. If they’re stuck beneath the gums (impacted), angled in the wrong direction, or crowding your existing teeth, it may be time to remove them. At Affinity Dental Clinic, we’ll assess your smile using digital X-rays and walk you through your options clearly and comfortably.
What to Expect During Removal
Once we’ve reviewed your X-rays and discussed your sedation options, we’ll move forward only when you’re ready. Depending on your case, the procedure may be simple or require a minor surgical approach. Either way, we’ll explain everything ahead of time—and keep you comfortable throughout.
Aftercare and Recovery
It’s normal to feel some swelling, tenderness, or stiffness after the procedure. We’ll send you home with clear instructions for managing your recovery, including how to rest, what to eat, and how to reduce discomfort. Most patients feel back to normal in just a few days.
FAQ
Have Questions? We’ve Got Answers.
Do all wisdom teeth need to be removed?
Not always. If your wisdom teeth come in properly and don’t cause pain or crowding, they may not need to be removed. We’ll review your X-rays and help you make the right call.
How long does recovery take?
Most patients recover within 3 to 5 days, though it depends on how many teeth were removed and the complexity of the extraction.
Can I be asleep during the procedure?
We offer local anesthesia and may recommend nitrous oxide or oral sedation for anxious patients. We’ll discuss your options during your consultation.
What can I eat after my wisdom teeth are removed?
Stick with soft foods like yogurt, mashed potatoes, or smoothies for the first few days. Avoid anything hard, crunchy, or spicy until your mouth heals.
