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.

I am very happy for all the service in this place I was sad and disappointed I did not smile and I wore a mask all the time I could not even take photos but I regained my security with such a good job thank you very much for being so kind and understanding my situation and making a work have excellentRosanna Lantigua
I’ve been going here for going on maybe 6 1/2 years, when it was still Royce Family Dentistry— even after moving out of the area I literally drive over 1 hour 10 minutes ONE WAY (with no traffic, so more if there is any) so a total of 2 hours and 20 minutes round-trip just because of how amazing every single person in that office is. They have treated me like family and like I’m important to them from day one. They have went above and beyond for me. and you just don’t find places like that anymore. I cannot express my gratitude and appreciation for them and I’ve definitely can’t recommend any place more than I do Radiant Smiles. 🦷 ♥️Brittany Guffey
Incredible! Staff are friendly and greatly care for their patients. When you go here, you aren't just a number. Their team works together very well, and it's evident that everyone on staff is happy. Dentist's take time to listen to your needs. I had a ton of special requests, and had to get a lot of dental work done. Each staff member, including the Dentist, Receptionist, Specialist, Hygienist, took great care to listen to me and make me feel at ease. I wasn't the easiest patient, but they never gave me any grief, which I am extremely thankful for. I appreciate them very much and recommend them to anyone looking for a new dentist.Jennifer B

Found this place on Google, called and got on schedule. Best dentistry ever. Everyone is super friendly, they make you feel comfortable and discuss all options for a treatment plan based on dental needs and comfort. I highly recommend them.Demetri Brown
I had a gnarly bite that was off after a four-filling day a few weeks ago. My whole jaw was in agony. Pain that was keeping me up at night, impossible to eat or drink. I thought to myself this can’t be right. I went to the dentist who did the fillings and they told me to just rub some sensodyne on it and come back in a week. What? So in comes Radiant Smiles with their awesome customer service (Looking at you, Shannon!). The nice tech comes in and I explain the situation to her and then the doc comes in and finds the place where my bite is misaligned. Got me some medicine to heal the bruising and inflammation caused by the other negligent dentist and an hour later I have so much relief. I’m so thankful for yall at Radiant Smiles!David
Great place to get dental work. Dr. Okons and the rest of the staff are very friendly. I had a recent extraction that got complicated when an infection was found. Dr. Okons immediately prepared perscriptions and a referral for an oral surgeon to fix it. They were very kind throughout the experience and tried accomodating me every way they could during the appointment. While they couldn't finish this particular extraction I'll be going back for whatever work I need. Their patient care is the best and worth it.william sigmon

These two women that helped me were so sweet, fun, and easy to talk to!!😭 I only got Morgan’s name, and I never really write reviews but they were just so awesome I needed to leave one 🫶shinigaby
This was by far the most comfortable experience I have ever had at a dental office in over 40 years. The result is the first Google review I have ever felt inspired to write. If you are looking for a superior dental care experience Radiant Smiles is the place to go. The dentists are highly knowledgeable but also very personable. I was very impressed by the dentist who did my dental work, Dr. Desameau and his team. If you have deep roots, are not easily numbed, or require top-level care, this is the place to go. I have lived in multiple countries and multiple states and received dental care around the world. I can say with conviction that Radiant Smiles Family & Cosmetic Dentistry truly delivers world-class care. I'll save you the 40-year search, look no further, this is the team you want caring for your teeth. I am very grateful to the friend who told me about this hidden gem of a dental office. I didn't expect to find such superior service in Charlotte, but I'm very glad that I did.Marcus Martin
