Find Out How We Perform Gentle Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth can often cause problems later on in life. So even if you aren't noticing any issues while you are a teenager or when you're young, it's not best to just leave them sitting there forever. Sometimes people get away with it, but most of the time they will eventually cause issues.

And getting your wisdom teeth removed while you are a teenager or earlier in your 20s, it's going to make the procedure a lot easier for the patient and the doctor, and it's gonna make the healing process go a lot smoother and a lot quicker. So if someone doesn't have their wisdom teeth removed, then they can start to come in later on and cause food impaction and infection in the back areas of their mouth. They can also cause damage to other teeth as well.


One thing that makes us different when it comes to removing wisdom teeth is that we do have those different sedation options, and we are able to help sedate a patient so that they don't remember the procedure and are comfortable while we are able to take out their wisdom teeth. One benefit to having someone like me be able to remove your wisdom teeth is that you can get all your procedures done in one house. You don't have to go to multiple different locations for different procedures.

We're able to do most procedures here in our office. So being able to have your wisdom teeth taken out by the same dentist that you see for your fillings and your cleanings and things like that can make it a much easier, more familiar experience.

You can count on the team at Skyview Dental for comfortable care if you need dental surgery. We'll keep your needs in mind at all times and listen carefully to your concerns. You don't need an oral surgeon for top-quality treatment.

We offer several types of oral surgery:

  • Tooth Extractions - We'll gently remove your diseased or damaged tooth to prevent further problems.
  • Wisdom Teeth Removal - Dr. Despain will extract your third molars to restore your oral health.
  • Gum Reshaping - Gentle laser treatment will eliminate a gummy smile and give you more confidence.

Remove Wisdom Teeth Before They Cause Bigger Issues

Wisdom teeth are your third set of molars. While they may not give you problems at all, they can also cause crowding, discomfort, or infection as these teeth emerge. At Skyview Dental, Dr. Despain offers in-house wisdom tooth removal with comfort, convenience, and safety in mind. With this procedure, you will:

  • Prevent Pain and Crowding - Impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth can shift your other teeth out of alignment. Removing them early protects your overall bite.
  • Lower Risk of Infection - When wisdom teeth only partially erupt, they can trap bacteria and food particles, increasing the risk of painful infections or cysts.
  • Have a Comfortable Experience - With multiple sedation options available, including oral sedation and IV sedation, you can stay relaxed and calm throughout your wisdom teeth extraction.
  • Benefit From Advanced Imaging - We use low-dose 3-D digital X-rays to assess your wisdom teeth's position and ensure a smooth, precise extraction.
  • Avoid the Hassle of a Referral - Dr. Despain performs the entire procedure in-house, saving you time and hassle by avoiding outside specialists.

Expect Top-Quality Results Thanks to Our Advanced Technology

Your surgery will go smoothly thanks to Dr. Despain's experience and his investment in state-of-the-art technology. To plan your treatment and ensure a successful outcome, your dentist will use:

  • Digital X-rays to capture images of your mouth to plan and help you understand our treatment recommendations
  • Our CEREC technology for same-day crowns or bridges if you need to replace an extracted tooth
  • Digital scanning to capture impressions of your teeth without messy trays of goop
  • Intraoral cameras so you can see what we see during your examination

You can request sedation to relax during the procedure. You can also wear headphones to block out sounds of our equipment.

Commonly Asked Questions About Oral Surgery

When would I need oral surgery?

There are several circumstances that might require oral surgery. If you or your loved one has a badly damaged or diseased tooth, it may need removal. Likewise, wisdom teeth often cause problems as they emerge and need to be extracted. Other procedures like bone grafts, sinus lifts, and ridge augmentations prepare for treatments such as dental implants. Gum grafts will repair receded gums and help them heal properly.

When is oral surgery covered by insurance?
Your dental insurance or medical insurance may cover a portion of your oral surgery. We recommend you check with your individual carriers to find out what they will and won't pay for before you have any work done. That way there aren't any big surprises in store for you. As a convenience, we offer third-party financing through several companies.
When can I exercise after oral surgery?

For the first 24 hours after your oral surgery, you should not exercise at all. Doing too much too fast can actually create problems and prolong healing. Overexertion can loosen the blood clot from an extraction site and cause a painful condition known as dry socket. After the first 24 hours, limit your exercise to low-impact activities for several more days.

How do I know if my wisdom teeth need to be removed? 

Wisdom teeth may need removal if they become impacted, repeatedly infected, difficult to clean, or begin damaging neighboring teeth. Some wisdom teeth never cause trouble. Dental X-rays can show their position and help determine whether monitoring them or removing them is the better approach.

What can I eat after oral surgery? 

Soft foods that require little chewing are usually best at first. Yogurt, eggs, mashed potatoes, smoothies eaten with a spoon, and similar foods can be easier on the surgical area. Avoid hard, crunchy, very hot, or spicy foods until healing has progressed, and don't use a straw after an extraction.

What is dry socket? 

Dry socket can occur when the protective blood clot at an extraction site is lost or breaks down before the area has healed. This can expose underlying bone and cause significant pain. Avoiding smoking, vigorous rinsing, straws, and other suction during early healing can help reduce your risk.
