Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth are not automatically removed. At Aria, the decision begins with a detailed evaluation of your teeth, jaw, oral health, symptoms, and long-term needs. When removal is appropriate, your care plan is designed around comfort, safety, and clear communication.

Clear Communication

Risks, Recovery & Healing
As with any surgical procedure, wisdom teeth removal involves risks such as swelling, infection, dry socket, or temporary numbness. These risks are discussed thoroughly during your consultation. Recovery varies based on the procedure performed and individual healing.
Alternatives
Depending on clinical findings, alternatives such as monitoring, coronectomy, or delayed treatment may be considered. We discuss all appropriate options before recommending removal.
