Not always.
Many wisdom teeth can be safely removed in our office, depending on their position, the shape of the roots, and your overall health. However, some wisdom teeth are impacted, located very close to important nerves, or are better treated with IV sedation. In those situations, we may recommend treatment with an oral surgeon.
If we refer you, it’s because we believe that’s the safest and most predictable option for your care.
We’ll explain exactly why we’re making that recommendation and help coordinate your treatment from start to finish.
