Wisdom Tooth Extractions Austin
Preserving Your Oral Health with Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Wisdom teeth get their name because they typically emerge between the ages of 16 and 24 years old. While these third molars, the very last pair of molars to grow into the mouth, were once useful to our ancestors, today, they tend to create more risks than benefits. Dr. Pevzner and our team at Highland West Dental Care can help assess whether wisdom tooth extractions in Austin are necessary for you with a consultation.

What to Expect from a Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Dr. Pevzner can perform most wisdom tooth extractions in-house, allowing you to receive this treatment from the same team you trust instead of needing to be referred to a specialist. When the wisdom tooth is partially visible through the gumline, Dr. Pevzner will access the rest of the tooth by creating a window in the gumline and separating the tooth into multiple pieces. He will then remove these pieces and suture the gums to aid in the healing process.
Before you leave our office, our team will provide you or the person who will be caring for you with instructions on how to take care of your gums following your procedure and some additional aftercare directions.
