Wisdom Tooth Extractions in Doral & South Miami, FL

Safe and Comfortable Wisdom Tooth Removal

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, typically appear in the late teens or early twenties. While some patients have enough space for these teeth to grow in naturally, many experience problems such as impaction, crowding, or infection. At Gemini Dental, we provide gentle and effective wisdom tooth extractions at both our Doral and South Miami offices. With over 25 years of experience, our dentists ensure the process is safe, efficient, and as comfortable as possible.

Why Wisdom Teeth Need to Be Removed

Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars to erupt, and in many cases, there simply isn’t enough room for them in the jaw. This can lead to a variety of issues:
 

• Impaction: Teeth that grow sideways or remain trapped under the gum.
   

• Crowding: Shifting of existing teeth, undoing years of orthodontic work.
   

• Infection: Swelling, pain, and gum disease caused by partially erupted teeth.
   

• Tooth Damage: Pressure against neighboring molars, leading to decay or fractures.
   

Our team uses advanced digital imaging to assess the position of your wisdom teeth and recommend whether extraction is necessary.

What to Expect During a Wisdom Tooth Extraction

The procedure begins with a thorough evaluation and X-rays. Depending on the complexity of your case, our dentists will recommend either a simple extraction (for erupted teeth) or a surgical extraction (for impacted teeth). Local anesthesia ensures you remain comfortable throughout the process. In some cases, sedation may be available for patients with dental anxiety or complex surgical needs.

After the extraction, we provide detailed aftercare instructions to promote healing and minimize discomfort. Most patients experience mild swelling or soreness that resolves within a few days.
