Wisdom teeth removal in Cleveland, Tennessee, is often necessary when third molars develop in a way that compromises oral health. At Magnolia Implants & General Dentistry, our team performs diagnostic imaging and jaw assessments to evaluate impaction, eruption angles and root development. These late-developing molars can cause crowding, infection or cyst formation if left untreated.
Our evaluation process includes panoramic radiographs and digital scans to determine the position of the wisdom teeth in relation to nearby nerves, sinuses and adjacent molars. Removal is typically recommended when eruption is partial, misaligned or causing periodontal concerns. Timing of the procedure is based on root formation, bone density and risk of future complications.
Surgical Strategy with Risk Management
Our dentist will develop a surgical plan that accounts for tooth position, bone structure and nerve proximity. Each case is reviewed for potential complications such as root entanglement with nerves, impaction against other molars or existing infection. The procedure may involve sectioning the tooth or removing surrounding bone to allow for clean extraction with minimal trauma.
Key reasons for removal may include:
- Impaction against second molars
- Development of infection or gum disease
- Orthodontic interference or crowding
- Cyst or tumor formation near the tooth
- Pain or localized swelling
All extractions are performed under controlled conditions using sterile technique. Patients are provided with detailed pre-operative and post-operative instructions to promote smooth recovery and avoid common complications such as dry socket or swelling.
Post-Operative Planning and Monitoring
Dr. Seth Weiler provides comprehensive post-surgical follow-up to evaluate healing and manage recovery. Follow-up appointments include clinical assessments and imaging to monitor bone healing and soft tissue response. Our team tracks inflammation, socket closure and nerve function as part of the long-term monitoring process.
Patients receive guidance on pain control, diet modifications and oral hygiene practices to support healing. Ice therapy, rest and anti-inflammatory medications are often used during the initial recovery period. Most patients resume normal activity within a few days, with full healing typically observed within a few weeks.
