Wisdom Teeth Removal in Basking Ridge, NJ

Why Remove Wisdom Teeth?

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last set of teeth to develop. Often, they emerge during your late teens or early twenties. In many cases, the jaw is not large enough to accommodate these additional teeth, and they can become trapped (impacted). This often leads to pain, infection, and other dental problems.

Removing wisdom teeth helps to prevent these complications, as well as:

• Damage to adjacent teeth
• Gum disease
• Jaw damage
• Sinus issues
• Aligned teeth becoming crowded
