Tooth Extraction
Wisdom Teeth Extractions
At Radiant Smiles Family & Cosmetic Dentistry in Pineville, we strive to protect your oral health. While the goal is always to save your natural teeth, there are times when that is not possible. If necessary to maintain your oral and overall health, teeth extractions may be recommended. For example, if a tooth is severely damaged, decayed, or infected, it may be necessary to remove the tooth.
Our team performs many extractions in our Pineville office saving patients the need for specialist care. This includes wisdom teeth extractions. Wisdom teeth are the third and final set of teeth that we get. Some people never get them. Some get two wisdom teeth; others get all four teeth. In rare cases, the teeth erupt without problems. Unfortunately, most often there is not enough space in the mouth for the wisdom teeth to come in which creates problems such as crowding or impacted wisdom teeth.
Reasons For Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Choosing wisdom tooth removal services is not a spur of the moment decision. It requires careful thought and consideration. For teenagers or young adults, extractions may be done preventatively. By removing the teeth early, problems such as pain, cyst formation, or impacted teeth never have a chance to start. X-rays help monitor wisdom teeth development.
The most common reasons for wisdom teeth extractions include:
- Small face or jaw size
- The teeth are impacted or may become impacted
- Damage to the adjacent teeth
- Potential for future dental problems
Signs Of A Problem
If the wisdom teeth begin to erupt, the most common sign of a problem is pain. A tooth that does not have the space to come in correctly is considered impacted. Without enough room, the adjacent teeth may become tilted, twisted, or displaced. This can also lead to tooth infections, swelling, and pain. Additional symptoms of impacted wisdom teeth include:
- Bleeding and/or swollen gums
- Pain
- Swollen jaw
- Bad breath
- Headache
- Jaw pain
- Swollen lymph nodes
Impacted wisdom teeth should not be taken lightly. The teeth need to be extracted to prevent further damage to your oral health.

Best dentist office, I had extraction tooth and I was very nervous about it but didn't hurt nothing, Elena the assistant was great, I highly recommend this place.
Absolutely awesome dental practice
The clinic has moved to a new building, it is beautiful, Dr. Reynald and his assistant Elena are wonderful people, always kind and generous, I recommend it to anyone who needs dental treatment.
I’ve been so impressed with Dr. D and his entire team from the very first visit! Everyone— from the front desk staff to the dental assistants— is incredibly kind, patient, and professional. Dr. D takes the time to explain each step of the process, making sure I understand exactly what’s being done and why. It’s clear they genuinely care about their patients' well-being. Before finding this office, I had a difficult history with dentists that caused me to avoid dental care for years. I developed a fear of going to the dentist due to past experiences, but from the moment I walked in here, all of that changed. Dr. D and his staff have been incredibly understanding of my anxiety and have always been gentle and reassuring throughout every visit. If you're looking for a dental office that treats you like a person—not just another patient—I highly recommend Dr. D and his team. I’m so grateful to have found this practice, and I’m looking forward to continuing my care here for many years to come. Thank you for making my dental experience such a positive one!
