Find out why you should consider treatment at Premier Dental & Implant Center in in Orland Park, IL...
Complications from Impacted Wisdom Teeth
Sometimes the third molars erupt abnormally, leading to partial or full impaction. This can lead to a number of oral health issues, including:
If the teeth erupt sideways, they can put excessive pressure on the neighboring teeth. This can ultimately lead to discomfort, shifting, and bite problems.
Sometimes an infection cyst can form around the roots of a wisdom tooth. Left untreated, this can infection can spread to other areas.
The upper molars sit close to the maxillary sinus. If the wisdom teeth are problematic, it can cause sinus pain, pressure, and congestion.
Wisdom teeth can be difficult to clean properly, especially if they are impacted. This makes you far more susceptible to tooth decay and periodontal disease.

This is by far one of the best and most professional dentists office I've ever been to. I had 3 wisdom teeth that needed to be pulled. I walked into the office for my appointment and was greeted by the 2 lovely front desk staff members who immediately made me feel welcome. After my x-rays were taken, Dr. Yamen reviewed them with me in Layman's terms and set the extraction appointment on the following Monday (consultation was Friday). The procedure was quick, easy, and painless. I was in and out of the office in about 1 hour for 3 wisdom teeth extractions. Great service, exceptional staff, I definitely recommend this office.

More About Wisdom Teeth
When Do They Erupt?
Wisdom teeth are the very last set of molars to erupt. Typically, they grow in during the late teenage years or the early 20s. While many individuals have impacted wisdom teeth, some develop them normally with no issues, while others do not develop them at all.
Symptoms of Impacted Wisdom Teeth
Patients with impacted third molars may experience pain, tenderness, or swelling in the gums near the back of the jaw. Some may notice trapped food or even pus at the gum line. However, some individuals are asymptomatic. That is why routine dental visits are so important.
Sedation Options for Comfortable Treatment
Our Orland Park, IL, dentists offer sedation options during wisdom teeth removal for optimal comfort. Patients can choose from nitrous oxide, oral sedatives, or IV sedation. We also work alongside a board-certified anesthesiologist when necessary. Dental visits do not have to be stressful. Ask your doctor which option is right for you.
