Wisdom teeth removal is one of the most common oral surgery procedures. It’s often recommended during the late teens or early 20s to help prevent a range of potential oral health issues. Although some patients choose to wait into their 30s, the best time to remove wisdom teeth is typically before their roots are fully formed, as this can reduce complications and shorten recovery time. Your general dentist will recommend your best course of action.

At Precision Oral & Facial Surgery in Rochester, MN, we specialize in wisdom teeth removal for patients of all ages. From helping you choose the right anesthesia to providing clear instructions for post-surgery care, our team will ensure your procedure is as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Why Do Wisdom Teeth Need to be Removed?

Most people’s jaws simply don’t have enough space for a third set of molars. As a result, wisdom teeth can become impacted or misaligned, leading to pain, infection or other complications.

However, not everyone needs to have their wisdom teeth removed. Some people have enough space in their mouths to accommodate all 32 teeth, while others are born without wisdom teeth entirely.
