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.

Reviews
I had an excellent visit with Radiant Smiles from start to finish. The entire staff was friendly and very welcoming. Truly professional team that did everything to ensure that my visit went well. I can say that I thoroughly enjoyed the experience!!
We originally assigned this office to be our daughters primary dental care facility. After the first visit both my parnter & I switched to make this our primary dentistry! My mom switched as well & has scheduled her appt for crown replacement this month. We genuinely appreciate the atmosphere from entry upon exiting Radiant Smiles. Dr. Raynald L. Desameau has always educated us whenever we expressed uncertainty about something regarding our dental care. He is highly educated in his field and has a supportive team whom are kind to us each visit! I love & appreciate the consistency!

This is honestly the most warm and welcoming dentist office, medical office I've ever been to. If you're like me with an extreme fear of dentists then the absolutely wonderful team at radiant smiles is the best place to visit. There's not enough stars or thanks I could give to them!
This was my first appointment. Everyone was very nice and pleasant to talk with. Only had xrays and evaluation, but I was very comfortable there. Cleaning is next appointment.
