Contact UsWhat Are Wisdom Tooth Extractions?
A person's last set of molars, which usually come out in the early adult years, is referred to as wisdom teeth. Located in the back regions of each arch, wisdom teeth (also known as third molars) often don't have enough room to effectively emerge, are difficult to keep clean, and might need to be removed to preserve general oral wellness. Wisdom teeth can be impacted (stuck within the gum tissues or bone), poorly aligned, or unable to come in as they should, causing a number of oral issues. Dr. Savitha Bathini offers simple and complex wisdom tooth extractions for Plano, TX individuals to increase oral wellness and defend against malocclusion and deterioration. If you or your teen have troublesome or unerupted wisdom teeth, arrange a dental exam at OraCare Dentistry.
What Is the Wisdom Tooth Extraction Process?
OraCare Dentistry carries out wisdom tooth extractions while the patient is under mild anesthesia; however, this surgery may also be combined with oral-conscious or IV sedation techniques to enhance relaxation. Simple tooth extraction is used to remove wisdom teeth if they have already erupted and are visible. There are, on the other hand, many instances where the teeth are impacted, have misshapen roots, or are securely anchored to the bone, which requires a complex wisdom tooth extraction using a surgical method. When Dr. Bathini makes an incision in the gums to get to the molar, she may split it into a few pieces, which allows for a quicker extraction. Depending on your unique case, all four of the wisdom teeth may be taken care of in one appointment. Sutures might be used afterward to promote the recovery process.
What Are the Benefits of Wisdom Tooth Extractions?
Wisdom tooth extractions are a critical dental procedure for maintaining oral health, particularly in early adulthood when these teeth typically emerge. Dr. Bathini at OraCare Dentistry specializes in both simple and complex extractions, offering numerous benefits such as:
- Preventing overcrowding of teeth, which can lead to misalignment and orthodontic issues
- Reducing the risk of oral infections and gum disease caused by impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth
- Alleviating pain and discomfort often associated with the emergence of wisdom teeth
- Decreasing the likelihood of cysts or tumors forming around impacted wisdom teeth, which can damage jawbone and nerves
Undergoing wisdom tooth extraction can be a proactive step towards safeguarding your oral health and avoiding future dental complications. If you're experiencing issues with your wisdom teeth, consider scheduling an appointment at our dental clinic for a comprehensive evaluation.

Everyone here is super professional and very welcoming! Having a lot of anxiety going into the appointment, they were very reassuring and patient along the way. Definitely would recommend this practice to anyone!
Dr. Bathini and her staff are the BEST! She is extremely thorough, has amazing bedside manner, and you truly feel cared for. Her office is immaculately clean and she uses really state of the art technology to take images and x-rays of your mouth. She also spent a lot of time TEACHING me about my mouth and proper brushing technique. Her staff is also very warm, and kind. They offered me water while I was waiting and made me feel very comfortable before seeing the doctor. I only come to Plano a few times a year, but I wish I lived here because I would go to her all of the time!
Great experience! The staff was very accommodating and nice. They put on a movie and explained everything about my oral health in friendly terms. Highly recommend!
