Wisdom Teeth Removal
If your wisdom teeth are pushing, aching, or causing problems behind the scenes — it’s time to take a look.
Not Every Wisdom Tooth Needs to Come Out
Dr. Daniel Dafo doesn’t pull wisdom teeth just because they’re there. If they’re healthy, properly positioned, and not causing problems, they can stay. But when they’re impacted, partially erupted, or pushing against other teeth — removal prevents bigger issues down the road.
He’ll take the necessary imaging, show you exactly what’s happening, and explain whether removal makes sense for your situation.
What to Expect
The area is numbed, nitrous is available, and Dr. Dafo walks you through the process before anything starts. Recovery typically takes a few days, and the team will give you clear aftercare instructions so you heal smoothly. Following those instructions — especially avoiding smoking — makes a significant difference in your recovery.
