What if I don’t have my wisdom teeth removed as a teenager or young adult?

As wisdom teeth develop, the roots become longer and the jaw bone more dense. When it is necessary to remove impacted wisdom teeth in your thirties, forties or beyond, the post-operative course can be prolonged and there is a higher complication rate. Treating these complications is often more difficult and less predictable than with a younger patient. Healing may be slower and the chance of infection can be increased. If your impacted wisdom teeth are not removed in your teenage years or early in your twenties and they are completely impacted in bone, it may be advisable to wait until a localized problem (such as cyst formation or localized gum disease and bone loss) develops. In general, you will heal faster, more predictably and have fewer complications if treated in your teens or early twenties.

5 out of 5 stars based on 6 reviews.

Patient Review

I have had multiple implants placed by Dr. Collins over the last couple of years. Each and every time, the level of care given by Dr. Collins and his staff is extremely professional. Additionally, they show a level of genuine, personal interest in a patient's care and well-being from the time of arrival for a consult to the time of surgery. They truly care about their patients on all levels. Dr. Collins has been in practice for many years and his level of expertise is definitely evident in the care and final result a patient receives. I would highly recommend Collins Oral and Facial Surgery.
