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.

Love how they don't shame you for coming in with bad teeth after five years with 9 months of them having nonstop morning sickness I knew I was in a mess but they were warm and welcoming and caring of any pain I had during cleaning and helpful in getting a plan to get everything taken care of love this office
Radiant Smile is awesome ! The front desk receptionist was thorough and very nice ! Michelle was great as well and so was Dr. Desameau and his staff are all AMAZING!!
These folks are super. The place is really nice and well maintained. Very neat and clean. And the staff is the best. Very friendly and attentive to the client. The surroundings are very relaxing. You have to see the overhead light panels. Very cool touch. Most places have a cold, sterile approach that always reminds you that you're in a dentist's chair. With Radiant Smiles, it's easy to forget where you are because they go out of their way to make the experience as relaxing and stress-free as possible. I've never seen a dentist's office look as this one does. It's different but in the best way possible. Check them out and I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Very pleasant team. Dr. Barton was amazing, explaining everything. I went there for a second opinion and left reassured by everyone involved in my care. Micheal ( at the Frontdesk) was also exceptional , genuine customer service that makes you feel like you are the only patient. Thank you very much. I can definitely recommend this practice, it was a pleasant experience.
They are courteous, they take the time with you and are caring.
