Wisdom Teeth Removal With Dr. Redlinger
Most of us get wisdom teeth in our late teens or early twenties. The emergence of these back molars can often cause complications, as the jaw is simply too small to fit these final teeth. To avoid long-term complications, it is typically best to invest in preemptive wisdom teeth removal. At Reno Tahoe Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Center, we promote patient comfort and safety while ensuring the smoothest possible wisdom teeth removal process. We proudly treat patients in Reno, NV, and the surrounding area.

The Wisdom Teeth Extraction Process
Your wisdom teeth journey begins with a consultation. During this time, you will meet with our doctor to ask any questions and learn more about treatment options. Additionally, our doctor will examine your teeth and jaw, ensuring you are a good candidate for wisdom teeth removal.
When procedure day arrives, you will be welcomed by members of our patient care team and then led back to a private treatment room. We provide a range of anesthesia and sedation options to ensure your comfort and prevent you from being awake during the surgery. Wisdom teeth removal usually takes less than an hour to complete, and once it is through, you will be discharged to head home for rest and recovery. You can anticipate some grogginess following your surgery, and we ask that you bring a driver to be sure you make it safely home.
Wisdom Teeth Extraction Aftercare
Your recovery is a top priority of ours. Removing impacted wisdom teeth will be a major surgical procedure and following the proper post-operative care will be vital to successful healing. Not following these instructions may lead to unnecessary pain and potential complications involving swelling and infection. If you are experiencing severe pain, swelling, or heavy bleeding for 2-3 days after your procedure, or if you think you are reacting poorly to the medication you were prescribed, please call our office right away.
How Long Does Wisdom Teeth Removal Take To Heal?
A typical wisdom tooth extraction takes around 2-4 days to recover from. It’s at this point that patients feel well enough to resume their daily tasks, such as working, exercising, etc. Some patients may take up to a week to recover depending on how the procedure went. The wound itself will not be fully healed for several months, however, so it is important to keep up with the recommended wisdom teeth extraction aftercare instructions.
