Wisdom Teeth Removal in Norman, OK
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, usually emerge in the late teens or early twenties. While some people experience no issues, many find that their wisdom teeth cause crowding, pain, or impaction. A skilled dentist can assess your teeth and determine whether extraction is necessary to protect your oral health. Leaving problematic wisdom teeth untreated may lead to gum infections, cysts, or damage to nearby teeth.

Whether you need a simple extraction or a more complex removal, our team provides personalized care to keep you comfortable every step of the way.
