Sound Like Your Situation Right Now?
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.

What to Expect During Wisdom Teeth Removal
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
