While “wisdom” sounds like a good thing, your wisdom teeth often bring anything but. These third molars, typically appearing between the ages of 17 and 25, can create significant oral health issues — from overcrowding and pain to infection and misalignment. If you're feeling pressure at the back of your mouth or noticing swelling and discomfort, it may be time to consider a consultation for wisdom tooth removal at Artisan Dental Studio.
Why Wisdom Teeth Are Often Removed
Not all wisdom teeth need to be removed — but many do. Often, there simply isn’t enough room in the jaw for these late-blooming molars to emerge properly. As a result, they may come in crooked, press against neighboring teeth, or remain impacted under the gum line, creating the perfect environment for bacteria and infection.
At Artisan Dental Studio, we offer a safe, comfortable experience for patients who need wisdom teeth extractions. Using advanced imaging, we determine the exact positioning of your teeth and plan your procedure with precision. Our team ensures you're fully informed, relaxed, and cared for every step of the way.

Worried about pain or recovery time? You’re not alone — but modern dentistry has made wisdom tooth removal faster and more comfortable than ever.

Frequently Asked Questions: Wisdom Tooth Removal
Q: How do I know if my wisdom teeth need to be removed?
A: Signs include pain at the back of the mouth, swelling, jaw stiffness, bad breath, or visible molars pushing through at odd angles.
Q: Is the procedure painful?
A: With anesthesia and sedation, you’ll feel little to no discomfort during the extraction. Mild soreness afterward is normal and manageable with prescribed care.
Q: How long is recovery?
A: Most patients feel back to normal within a few days, though full healing may take a couple of weeks.
Q: Can all four wisdom teeth be removed at once?
A: Yes — in many cases, it’s more efficient to remove all four at once to avoid multiple recoveries.
Q: What should I eat after the procedure?
A: Stick to soft foods like yogurt, smoothies, soup, and mashed potatoes. Avoid anything crunchy or spicy for a few days.
