    Sound Like Your Situation Right Now?

    Wisdom tooth problems rarely stay quiet for long. The discomfort starts mild, then works its way into your daily routine in ways you didn’t expect. You’re not alone in what you’re dealing with.
  • Constant jaw pain slowing you down
  • Too embarrassed to smile or eat in public
  • Throbbing pressure that won't let up
  • Avoiding social plans because of discomfort
  • Swelling and infection getting steadily worse
  • Missing out on meals you used to enjoy
  • If any of this sounds familiar, relief is closer than you think.

    What Happens If You Wait?

  • Infection Spreads Quickly

    Bacteria around impacted wisdom teeth can move to surrounding teeth and tissue fast.

  • Neighboring Teeth Shift

    Pressure from impacted teeth pushes adjacent teeth out of alignment over time.

  • Treatment Gets More Complex

    The longer an impacted tooth stays, the more involved the removal process becomes.

  • Costs Rise Over Time

    Addressing complications after an infection or bone damage is significantly more expensive.

  • Bone Loss Begins Silently

    Chronic pressure and infection can begin affecting the surrounding jawbone without warning.

  • Options Narrow With Delay

    Early removal is often simpler; waiting can limit how straightforward treatment can be.

  • Acting sooner typically means a shorter procedure, a smoother recovery, and better long-term results.

    What Is Wisdom Teeth Removal and How Does It Work?

    Wisdom teeth, also called third molars, are the last set of teeth to come in, typically in the late teens or early twenties. When there isn’t enough room for them to grow in properly, they become impacted, meaning they get stuck beneath the gumline or grow in at an angle. Wisdom teeth removal is a common surgical procedure that takes out one or more of these teeth before they cause lasting damage to your smile.

    At College Hill Dental Group, wisdom teeth removal in Easton is guided by 3D cone beam imaging, which gives our team a precise, three-dimensional view of your tooth position, root structure, and surrounding bone before a single step is taken. That level of detail allows us to plan each removal carefully and personally, so there are fewer surprises and a more predictable outcome for you.

  • Third molars typically emerge between ages 17 and 25
  • Impacted wisdom teeth are among the most common reasons for extraction
  • Most patients have between one and four wisdom teeth removed
  • Transformations That Last

    Watch real patients share how their dental journey restored not just their smiles, but their quality of life. These personal stories capture the relief and joy that come with comprehensive, caring treatment.

    Is Wisdom Teeth Removal Right for You?

    At College Hill Dental Group, patients who choose IV sedation for their wisdom teeth removal can often have fillings, additional extractions, or other treatment taken care of in the same visit. One appointment. One recovery. Everything handled by the same provider who already knows your full dental picture. It’s an option that a referral to an oral surgeon simply can’t offer, and for patients who’ve been putting off a longer to-do list, it changes the equation entirely. Wisdom tooth problems rarely stay quiet for long. The discomfort starts mild, then works its way into your daily routine in ways you didn’t expect. You’re not alone in what you’re dealing with.
  • Constant jaw pain slowing you down
  • Too embarrassed to smile or eat in public
  • Throbbing pressure that won't let up
  • Avoiding social plans because of discomfort
  • Swelling and infection getting steadily worse
  • Missing out on meals you used to enjoy
  • Not Sure If You Need Them Out?

    A consultation is the clearest way to find out. We’ll review your imaging, assess how your wisdom teeth are positioned, and give you a straightforward recommendation for wisdom teeth removal based on your specific situation.

    What to Expect During Wisdom Teeth Removal

    Many patients tell us removing their wisdom teeth was far easier than they imagined. Every step is designed around your comfort, with sedation options available so you stay relaxed from start to finish.
    1

    Your Consultation and Imaging

    You'll start with a thorough evaluation, including our Planmeca cone beam CT scanner, which captures a precise 3D image of your teeth, roots, and surrounding bone. This gives us a complete picture before anything begins. You'll leave with a clear understanding of what your removal involves and what to expect.

    2

    Comfort and Sedation Setup

    On the day of your procedure, we'll confirm your sedation preference and get you settled. Whether you choose nitrous oxide, oral sedation, or IV sedation, our goal is for you to feel completely at ease. If you're having IV sedation and have other dental work on your list, this is also the step where we confirm what else can be addressed in the same visit, so you leave with more done and only one recovery to manage. Local anesthesia is also applied so you won't feel any discomfort during the removal itself.

    3

    Removal

    With imaging already complete, the removal is guided and precise. Depending on how your wisdom teeth are positioned, the process typically takes under an hour for most patients. You'll feel little to nothing during this step, and our team checks in with you throughout.

    4

    Recovery Prep and Discharge

    Before you leave, we walk you through everything you need to know about the next few days, including what to eat, what to avoid, and how to manage any mild discomfort. You'll go home with clear written instructions and direct access to our team if questions come up.

    What to Expect After Wisdom Teeth Removal

    Most patients are genuinely surprised by how manageable recovery is. Discomfort is typically mild and short-lived, and our team is with you throughout the healing process so you never feel like you’re figuring it out on your own.

    First 24-48 Hours

    Some mild swelling and tenderness around the extraction site is completely normal during this window. Plan to rest, stick to soft foods, and avoid anything hot, hard, or through a straw. Most patients find over-the-counter relief or any prescribed medication handles discomfort well during this phase.

    First 1-2 Weeks

    Swelling typically peaks around day two or three, then gradually improves. Most patients return to work or school within a few days and ease back into their normal routine comfortably by the end of the first week. Keeping the area clean and following your aftercare instructions makes a significant difference in how smoothly healing goes.

    Long-Term Healing

    The soft tissue heals within a few weeks for most patients. Full bone healing takes longer but happens in the background without affecting your daily life. As healing progresses, jaw tension and pressure that brought you in will steadily resolve.

    Every patient heals at their own pace, and recovery looks different depending on the complexity of your removal. We’ll send you home with a personalized aftercare plan and clear instructions, and our team is easy to reach if anything comes up between visits.

    Wisdom Teeth Removal FAQs

    Patients come to us with a lot of questions before moving forward with wisdom teeth removal in Easton, and that’s exactly what we expect. Here are honest, straightforward answers to the questions we hear most often.

    How do I know if my wisdom teeth actually need to be removed?

    Not every wisdom tooth requires removal, but most impacted or partially erupted ones do. Pain, swelling, repeated infections, and crowding are common signs. The clearest way to know is through a consultation and cone beam imaging, which gives us a full picture of how your teeth are positioned.
    During the procedure, you won’t feel pain. Local anesthesia is always used, and sedation options are available if you want additional comfort. Afterward, most patients describe the discomfort as mild and manageable with over-the-counter relief or any prescribed medication. The buildup of anxiety beforehand is typically worse than the experience itself.
    We offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral sedation, and IV sedation. Dr. Moghadam is the only general dentist in Northampton County who personally performs a wide scope of treatment under IV sedation. For patients choosing IV sedation, there’s an added advantage: other dental work, such as fillings or additional extractions, can often be completed in the same appointment, so you get more done with one recovery instead of several.
    For most patients, removing one to four wisdom teeth takes less than an hour once you’re settled and comfortable. The actual removal time varies depending on the position and complexity of each tooth, which is why we review your imaging carefully beforehand.
    Most patients feel noticeably better within three to four days and return to their normal routine within a week. Some mild tenderness can linger a bit longer, but it’s typically manageable. Full healing takes a few weeks, though it won’t interrupt daily life during that time.
    Yes, and for most patients, removing all four in a single appointment is the preferred approach. It means one recovery period instead of multiple, and with sedation available, comfort throughout the procedure is well within reach.
    Stick to soft foods for the first few days, things like yogurt, mashed potatoes, smoothies, and eggs. Avoid anything hard, crunchy, or that requires a straw. We’ll give you a full list of guidance when you leave so you know exactly what works and what to avoid.
    Wisdom teeth removal is one of the most commonly performed dental procedures, and serious complications are uncommon. Like any surgical procedure, there are possible side effects such as temporary swelling or mild bruising. Dry socket is the most frequently discussed risk, and we’ll walk you through exactly how to prevent it.
    Many patients wait until symptoms appear, but impacted wisdom teeth can cause damage quietly over time, including bone loss, shifting of adjacent teeth, and recurring infection. Early removal is often simpler and involves less complex healing than waiting until a problem develops.
    If you choose oral sedation or IV sedation, yes, you’ll need a driver. Nitrous oxide wears off quickly, and most patients can drive after that option. We’ll confirm transportation needs during your consultation so there are no surprises on the day of your procedure.

    I just had my first visit with College Hill Dental Group as a new patient, and it was great! It was the most thorough exam I have had so far at any dentist’s office. I felt like both the doctor (Dr. Phillip) and hygienist (Stephanie) really took the time to explain my x-rays and exam findings and what I could implement at home to help. They also have some pretty cool equipment! Highly recommend, especially to anyone new to the area and looking for a dental practice.
