Wisdom teeth removal is one of the most common oral surgery procedures. While these third molars can aid in chewing if they come in correctly, they often cause issues that need professional care. It’s normal to have questions about the procedure, recovery, and what to expect. As your dental team, we’re here to help you understand what wisdom teeth are, the signs that indicate a problem, and what happens during the removal process so you can feel informed and confident about your care.

Imagine this: you’ve just had a tooth pulled and are feeling relieved it’s finally over—until your dentist brings up a “bone graft.” What sounded like a simple procedure now feels more involved, leaving you wondering if this extra step is really needed. You’re not the only one with questions. Many patients feel uncertain when bone grafts come up, and that’s completely understandable. Facing more treatment after an extraction can feel overwhelming.
