Wisdom Teeth Removal

All four out in one visit — with a plan for every day after.

Wisdom teeth removal in Greenville, SC doesn't have to mean a referral, a second office, and weeks of waiting. Todays Dental Greenville evaluates, images, and removes wisdom teeth in-house — including many impacted cases — with sedation options and clear, flat pricing before anything happens. Whether you're a college student home for the summer or a parent scheduling around school, we can take all four out in one visit and send you home with a written, day-by-day aftercare plan.

Signs Your Wisdom Teeth Need to Come Out

Third molars usually make themselves known between ages 17 and 25 — and they rarely announce themselves politely. Pain or pressure at the very back of the jaw, swollen or bleeding gum tissue behind your last molar, and a bad taste that keeps returning are the classic signals.

Crowding matters too. Wisdom teeth pushing against their neighbors can undo years of orthodontic work and create tight, uncleanable spaces where cavities start.

  • Pain, pressure, or throbbing at the back of the jaw
  • Red, swollen, or bleeding gums behind your last molar
  • Jaw stiffness, headaches, or pain when opening wide
  • A partially erupted tooth that traps food and causes repeated infections

Impacted vs. Erupted: What It Changes

A fully erupted wisdom tooth often comes out like any other extraction — quick, predictable, and inexpensive. An impacted tooth sits partly or fully under the gum, sometimes angled into the tooth ahead of it, and needs a surgical approach.

A panoramic X-ray tells us which situation you have before anything is scheduled. We'll show you the image, explain exactly what we see, and quote each tooth accordingly — impacted and erupted teeth are priced differently, and you'll know both numbers up front.

Sedation Options for a Calm Visit

You choose how aware you want to be. Local anesthetic alone works well for simple, single-tooth removals; nitrous oxide takes the edge off and wears off before you leave; oral sedation lets most patients doze through the entire visit and remember very little.

Most patients having all four wisdom teeth removed choose sedation dentistry — we'll walk you through the options and what each one means for your ride home.

Cost of Wisdom Teeth Removal

Simple extractions typically run $150–$350 per tooth; impacted teeth $300–$650. After your panoramic X-ray we put the price for all four in writing — no ranges that mysteriously grow on the day of surgery.

Dental insurance usually covers a meaningful share of medically necessary extractions, and we verify your benefits before you commit. No insurance? Our financing options split treatment into predictable monthly payments.

Recovery, Day by Day

Plan on two to three quiet days. Days 1–2 are for rest, cold compresses, and soft foods — think smoothies without straws, mashed potatoes, and eggs. By day 3–4, most people are back at work or class; by the end of week one, you're mostly back to normal eating.

You leave with a printed day-by-day aftercare sheet and a direct line to the office. If anything doesn't look or feel right — dry-socket pain, swelling that grows after day 3 — call us and we'll see you promptly.

How much does wisdom teeth removal cost?

Simple extractions run $150-$350 per tooth; impacted teeth $300-$650. We quote all four in writing after a panoramic X-ray, and insurance typically covers a meaningful share.

Will I be asleep?

You can choose local anesthetic only, nitrous oxide, or oral sedation. Most patients having all four removed choose sedation and remember little of the visit.

How long is recovery?

Plan on 2-3 days of rest and soft foods, with most people back to work or class by day 3-4. We give a day-by-day aftercare sheet and a direct line for questions.

Do wisdom teeth always need removal?

No. If they're fully erupted, cleanable, and not crowding other teeth, we leave them and monitor. We'll show you your X-ray and explain exactly why — or why not.
