An Impacted Wisdom tooth is inside the jaw bone or gums. Because an Atlanta impacted wisdom tooth is not easily accessible, an Atlanta impacted wisdom tooth is difficult to remove and not all dentists are comfortable removing an impacted wisdoom tooth for this reason.

          There is controversy as to whether an Atlanta impacted wisdom tooth can move all the teeth in front of it. Some dentists believe that an impacted wisdoom tooth is the reason for crowding of the teeth in the front of the mouth where you smile. Many orthodontists insist upon the removal of an Atlanta impacted wisdom tooth to be sure that their patients keep their nice smile. So it seems like a good idea to remove an Atlanta impacted wisdom tooth whenever there is concerned about the stability of your smile.

          The Atlanta Dental Group, PC services include Atlanta impacted wisdom tooth removal in addition to most routine oral surgery procedures. Most Atlanta impacted wisdom tooth procedures take less than a half hour and can easily be completed using local anaesthesia. This avoids the additional expense and risk of general anaesthesia.

          Our dentists recommend that patients remove each impacted wisdoom tooth one side at a time. This allows a patient to chew on the other side. The patient heals quicker and feels better during the recovery period after the removal of the Atlanta impacted wisdom tooth if this is done. Most patients that have an Atlanta impacted wisdom tooth removed on Thursday are back at work on Monday.

          With local anaesthesia a patient having an Atlanta impacted wisdom tooth removed does not need someone else to come to the Atlanta impacted wisdom tooth surgery visit because the patient was not drugged.

          Our philosophy with removing an Atlanta impacted wisdom tooth is to reduce the amount of trauma associated to a minimum. Part of this is accomplished by reducing the incisions used to expose the Atlanta impacted wisdom tooth to the smallest length possible. Because much of the blood going to the bone around the Atlanta impacted wisdom tooth is supplied by the gums, we try our best not to pull much of the gums off of the bone. This reduces swelling and assists healing.

          If you are interested in having your impacted teeth removed and would like to speak with an Atlanta Dental Group,PC dentist, please consider making a consultation appointment by calling  404-874-7428.  A panorex x-ray should be taken at this visit so that the dentist can see how your Atlanta impacted wisdom tooth is positioned.
