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’s been always a great experience for me and my husband here in Radiant smiles, everyone are so nice and the doctor knows what he’s doing and does it really well. Love this place and would recommend to anyone for any type of appointments with dentist
Very friendly and made me feel at ease, very knowledgeable and explained everything that would be done
New Owners!! Dr.Okons is amazing!! I had such a great experience, and he took the time to explain everything to me. I've never had a dentist take the time to go over everything in detail with me like I did with Dr.Okons. thank you!!
I have been to Radiant Smiles twice so far for a regular cleaning/checkup and everything has gone well. They are friendly, easy to work with, and do a good job. Payment went through my insurance, so I didn't have to pay anything, and they didn't try to upsell me on anything I didn't need. They did a multi-part dental procedure on my husband and were very supportive and responsive through the whole process. Dental procedures are never fun but they communicated everything effectively, got back to us quickly when we called off hours with questions, and there were no unexpected medical issues. Overall it has been a very good experience and I plan to continue going there.
I love the Radiant Smiles team and Doctor Desameau so much! Everyone there is my friend and I love how much they really do care. I love how thorough the doctor is and how everything is explained so well. This team makes going to the dentist, extremely enjoyable! Thank you all so much for everything!
Came in without an appt. and didn't have the right insurance info. Front receptionist found my insurance provider and I was seen ASAP. After see Dr. O, he gave me some prescriptions to fill and scheduled a follow up appt.
My appointment was quick and enjoyable as always this morning. The staff is always super friendly and make visiting the dentist a pleasant experience!
The service went smoothly in a very relaxed environment. Well done.
