Wisdom Tooth Concerns
Wisdom teeth are a common concern for most people and generally become an issue in the late teens and early 20’s. Wisdom teeth are third molars that grow in the back of your mouth. Many times, wisdom teeth are impacted or there is not enough space in the jaw to fit them. In these cases, dental extraction of wisdom teeth often gives patients relief of pain and potential damage to their surrounding teeth. Common problems associated with wisdom teeth include:
- Crowding of surrounding teeth
- Partial eruption
- Impacted teeth
- Nerve damage
Wisdom Tooth Extraction is a Common Procedure
Dr. Michael Ruff has extensive experience in wisdom tooth extraction and can provide you with the comfort and care you deserve. Dr. Ruff will first numb the area and may offer sedation dentistry to better put you at ease. Each wisdom tooth is removed and stitches may be placed to help the surgery site heal. You will quickly feel the benefits after having problem wisdom teeth removed, alleviating any pain from their eruption and saving your smile from damage.
Trust in Experience and Compassion with Your Extraction
Having your wisdom teeth removed can have significant oral health and cosmetic benefits. Because of the pain and damage wisdom teeth can cause, it is important to have your tooth extraction done by an experienced professional. Dr. Ruff has extensive knowledge of wisdom tooth extraction, gaining much of his experience while he served as a dental officer for the U.S. Navy. He has also been named a Top Dentist in Denver’s 5280 magazine several times and offers over 19 years of experience to each patient he treats.
