Do You Remove Wisdom Teeth?
In this video, Dr. Jack Booth explains when wisdom tooth removal is appropriate in his practice and how decisions are made to ensure treatment is safe and predictable for each patient.
We do remove wisdom teeth, but we handle these cases selectively. Previously, we performed them more routinely, but over time, the practice has shifted toward implants and denture stabilization.
We will remove wisdom teeth if the case is within our scope and we feel confident it can be done safely and predictably. That decision is made on a patient-by-patient basis. If the impaction is complex or outside what we consider safe, we will refer the patient to a specialist.
Many of the extractions we do now are straightforward because many of our patients already have missing teeth, which provides good visibility of the area. Being able to clearly see what I’m working on is essential for performing the procedure safely.
