Wisdom Teeth Removal

From first twinge to full recovery — handled in-house, without the waitlist.

Wisdom teeth have a talent for showing up at the worst time — crowding straight teeth, trapping food, or erupting sideways into a painful, infection-prone mess. At Dentist in Greenville we remove wisdom teeth in-house, from simple eruptions to impacted extractions, with sedation options that make the visit far easier than the toothache you walked in with. No months-long oral-surgeon waitlist and no surprise bill: a consult, a clear quote, and usually a same-week removal at our Greenville, SC office.

Signs Your Wisdom Teeth Need to Come Out

  • Pain or pressure at the back of your jaw, especially when chewing.
  • Red, swollen, or bleeding gums around a partially erupted tooth.
  • Crowding or shifting of your other teeth as the wisdom teeth push in.
  • Repeated food traps, bad taste, or infections behind your last molars.
  • X-ray evidence of impaction — a tooth growing sideways or stuck under bone.

What Removal Is Actually Like

Most removals take under an hour. After a quick X-ray and numbing (or sedation, if you choose), your dentist gently loosens and removes the tooth — impacted teeth may need a small incision. You'll rest briefly, get clear aftercare instructions, and head home the same day.

Simple eruptions are similar to routine tooth extractions; impacted teeth are handled like our other surgical extractions — either way, it happens here, not at a referral office months from now.

Sedation & Comfort Options

Nervous about the procedure? You don't have to white-knuckle it. Ask about our sedation dentistry options when you book — we'll match the option to your comfort level and health history so the removal is far easier than the toothache that brought you in.

Recovery: The Honest Timeline

  • Days 1–2: Rest, ice, and soft foods. Expect swelling to peak around 48 hours.
  • Days 3–4: Most people are back at work or school; soreness is manageable.
  • Days 5–7: Swelling fades; you'll gradually return to normal eating.
  • Weeks 1–2: The site closes fully. We check healing at your follow-up.
  • Call us right away for severe pain after day 3 (possible dry socket) — it's fixable, fast.

What It Costs — With & Without Insurance

Simple extractions cost far less than impacted surgical ones, so we never quote a package price sight-unseen. After a quick X-ray you'll get an exact, per-tooth quote — and we verify your insurance benefits free before anything is scheduled.

No insurance? Sunbit's no-credit-check financing splits treatment into monthly payments most patients are approved for in about 30 seconds.

Does wisdom tooth removal hurt?

You're numb (or sedated) during the procedure itself; expect 2–3 days of manageable soreness afterward. We send you home with a clear aftercare plan and pain-management guidance.

How long is recovery?

Most people are back to work or school in 2–3 days and fully healed in 1–2 weeks. Impacted extractions can sit at the longer end of that range.

How much does wisdom teeth removal cost?

Simple extractions cost far less than impacted surgical ones. We quote exactly after a quick X-ray, verify your insurance for free, and Sunbit financing can split the cost into monthly payments.

Do all four wisdom teeth need to come out at once?

Not always — we'll show you your X-ray and give you the case for each tooth individually, not a package pitch. Some patients only ever need one or two removed.

PAYING FOR CARE

No surprises, ever.

We review your benefits up front and lay out every option in plain language — so cost is never the reason care gets delayed.
