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.

It was my very first time being there, and for the most part it was a great experience. My only true issue was with the assistant who kept trying to force the larger X-ray piece in my mouth. I did get bruised from her simply not listening but I know that she was there temporarily.
Great office with friendly staff. Very efficient and truly give the patient undivided attention! Highly recommend. Beautifully decorated office….. very clean!!
I have been going to the dentist for two years and never thought my teeth felt clean when I left. However, this visit was different. Adrian was my hygienist, and she was wonderful! She took a lot of time to make sure my teeth were clean and did not treat me like an assembly line where I was in and out in 25 minutes. I will definitely be requesting her for every appointment.
It was a very good experience. The personal is very attentive and the doctor really knows his work. I highly recommend the office to anyone.
Michael has the most upbeat and courteous customer service that I have ever encountered while working with providers. He made sure that I had everything that I needed before getting off the phone with him and was so patient with me. Thank you Michael and keep that sweetness alive.
I had a great experience. My dentist was very professional yet down to earth about the condition and improvements needed for my teeth. The receptionist Michael was wonderful in assisting me with billing questions. Overall I would recommend to others.
