What Are Wisdom Teeth?

Wisdom teeth are extra molars that grow in the very back of your jaw usually during your late teenage years. The problem with these teeth is that they often do not have the proper space to grow in since your mouth and jaw is already fully formed. When these new teeth try to grow, they often get blocked by bone and surrounding teeth, causing impaction and tooth pain. If these wisdom teeth are left impacted in your mouth, they can cause damage to your other teeth, push them together and cause crowding, throw off your bite and even develop an infection. Dr. Mark Wilhelm uses his over three decades of experience to remove these problem wisdom teeth right in our Woodbury, MN office! Once we gently remove these teeth, you’ll be free of the tooth pain and soreness and able to get back to a normal lifestyle.

How We Extract Wisdom Teeth

If you’re worried about wisdom teeth, we encourage you to come in for a consultation and examination. Sometimes tooth pain that may feel like a wisdom tooth could be another condition like a tooth infection or cavity. If we do identify that you’ll need to have wisdom teeth removed, Dr. Wilhelm will then use modern digital x-rays to capture information on the health of your mouth, position of surrounding teeth and the location of jaw nerves. These images will also show us the wisdom teeth and where they’re located so we can plan their removal.

On the day of surgery, we use local anesthetic and oral sedation to make you feel calm, relaxed and free of discomfort. Most patients report only feeling a dull pressure as they have their wisdom teeth removed. Dr. Wilhelm will use extreme care to gently remove your impacted wisdom teeth from the gum and bone tissue in your mouth. We can perform this treatment in a manner that causes the least impact to your surrounding structures. Once the wisdom teeth are removed, we will pack the empty socket and suture your gums to allow for proper healing.

Expectations exceeded. I haven't had much luck in this field but I was treated very well here. The appointment was set up within a week! They took me in a little early. Dr. Wilhelms assistant was fabulous, she was not only nice but genuine! Budget was an important aspect of my service needs and I was given many options and found a reasonable solution. They went on to take the impressions for the next step without first making me schedule a new appointment . They showed me costs upfront and total cost, (no hidden side service, xray, taxes, etc.) I highly reccomend this establishment every step of the way.

I totally enjoyed coming in and being greeted right away with "Hi Cindi" How are you today? Would you like coffee or water? The staff are Amazing! The atmosphere is very welcoming and I LOVE the Music! Dr. Wilhelm is totally REMARKABLE!! He spent so much of his time making the fitting of the plate with my teeth every week that I came in. Making sure that everything is lining up the way it should be. I REALLY LOVE MY SMILE and every bit of what Dr. Wilhelm paid off. FINALLY!! I totally would recommend my family and friends to go and see him. He is very reasonable and worth it!!

I can't say enough about my great experience with the entire staff. I had previous implants and dentures started by someone else and was very dissatisfied with the results so far. Dr. Mark and Steph were great to work with and so nice and patient with me! Dr. Mark immediately saw what the problems were before I even explained what I felt was wrong. Over the next several months, he worked with me to find the perfect placement and look. He even brought in an outside speech therapist for a consultation for me. I am completely satisfied and grateful for his time and expertise. My only regret is that I didn't go see him in the first place!
