Wisdom Teeth Removal in Eugene, OR
Wisdom teeth don’t always need to be removed, but when they cause oral health issues, removal is often recommended. If problematic wisdom teeth aren’t removed, they can cause pain, infection, crowding, and damage to nearby teeth. Impacted wisdom teeth may also lead to the development of cysts or decay. Timely removal protects your smile’s health and comfort for years to come.
Wisdom teeth removal doesn’t have to be intimidating. We make it easy, gentle, and effective—relieving discomfort and protecting your long-term oral health.

Wisdom Teeth Removal Aftercare
After wisdom teeth removal, proper aftercare is essential for a smooth and comfortable recovery. Keep the area clean by gently rinsing with warm salt water and avoid disturbing the extraction site. Stick to soft foods and stay hydrated, but skip straws to prevent dry sockets. Some swelling or mild discomfort is normal and can be eased with cold compresses and prescribed medication. Rest and allow your body to heal; within a few days, you should feel back to normal. However, if you encounter any issues, our team is always here to assist you.
