Time for Wisdom Teeth Removal?
Wisdom teeth (your third molars) usually show up between ages 17 and 25—and for many people, there just isn’t enough room for them to grow in properly. At Mahogany Oral Surgery, we help patients prevent future dental issues by removing wisdom teeth before they cause discomfort or damage.
Why Take Them Out?
Not everyone needs their wisdom teeth removed—but most people do. Here’s why:
- Not enough space: They get stuck or grow sideways (impacted teeth)
- Partial eruption: Leads to trapped food, infection, or gum pain
- Decay & gum disease: Hard to clean, even harder to keep healthy
- Crowding: Especially important if you’ve had braces
- Cysts or bone damage: Can silently harm nearby structures over time
Pro tip: Younger patients tend to recover faster with fewer complications. That’s why early removal is often the smartest choice.
What Happens at Your Appointment?
Your consultation is all about comfort and clarity:
- We review your medical history
- Examine your teeth and jaw
- Use digital imaging or a CBCT scan to assess your wisdom teeth
- Discuss sedation or anesthesia options
- Go over the surgical plan and recovery instructions
We’ll make sure you’re fully informed, confident, and ready. And yes—ask all the questions you want.
If you’re under 18, a parent or guardian must attend your consult to give consent.
