What Is Wisdom Tooth Extraction?
Wisdom teeth, the third and last set of molars, typically emerge in the late teenage years. Located at the back of both dental arches, wisdom teeth often lack enough space to fully develop. This can make them difficult to keep clean, leading to a higher risk of infection or decay. In many cases, wisdom teeth can become impacted, misaligned, or fail to emerge properly, causing various dental issues. Dr. Cathleen Coyne specializes in wisdom teeth removal for patients in Franklin, TN, helping improve oral health and prevent misalignment or decay. If you or a family member are experiencing discomfort or complications from impacted wisdom teeth, schedule a consultation at Coyne Oral Surgery to explore your treatment options.
How Are Wisdom Teeth Extractions Performed?
Wisdom tooth extractions at Coyne Oral Surgery are typically performed under mild anesthesia, with sedation options available for added comfort if needed. In many cases, Dr. Coyne will need to remove the impacted teeth, which may require an incision in the gums and sometimes splitting the tooth for easier removal. Depending on your needs, all wisdom teeth can often be extracted in one session. Sutures are used to help with healing, and our team will provide aftercare instructions to guide your recovery.
Recovery from wisdom tooth extraction typically takes a few days. Most discomfort will ease within 2 – 3 days, though mild pain may last up to a week. You'll be able to eat soft foods shortly after the procedure, but it may take up to a week before you can return to eating normally. Following Dr. Coyne's aftercare guidelines will help speed up your recovery and reduce complications.
What Are the Benefits of Wisdom Tooth Extraction?
Wisdom tooth extraction offers several key benefits, especially if your wisdom teeth are causing discomfort or other dental issues. These benefits include:
- Prevention of pain caused by impacted or misaligned wisdom teeth
- Reduction of risk of infection by eliminating hard-to-clean teeth
- Protection of surrounding teeth from potential damage or misalignment
- Avoidance of future complications like decay, cysts, or jaw issues
Wisdom Tooth Extractions Reviews
I was extremely nervous about getting my wisdom teeth removed. Dr Coyne and her assistant Marlena were incredible! Marlena made my experience incredible through her comforting communication before and during the procedure. I can't thank her enough. Dr Coyne is an absolute Professional at what she does. She was so fast and efficient when she removed my teeth. I barely have any pain or swelling. I highly recommend everyone who needs Oral Surgery to go to them. You won't find a better place!
Had an impacted wisdom tooth with cyst removed yesterday by Dr Coyne and I can’t imagine it going any better! I too was one of those very anxious patients and looking back that was probably the hardest part of my procedure. The wait. So if you’re considering using Dr Coyne and her team for some type of oral surgery…just DO IT!! Friendly people who are VERY good at what they do.
This is my third visit to Coyne Oral Surgery, and I can confidently say that I'm just as impressed now as I was years ago. Most recently, I brought my daughter in for her wisdom teeth removal, and I would recommend them without hesitation. Marlena and Melissa are incredibly compassionate and helpful, and Dr. Coyne is exceptional. She took the time to come out and explain the entire process beforehand, and even walked my daughter to the car afterward, going above and beyond to ensure we felt at ease.When I needed additional guidance after bringing my daughter home, their team responded quickly and provided everything she needed. I wholeheartedly recommend their office; you will feel like family, and they consistently deliver outstanding care. Thank you, Coyne team! We will see you again when it’s her brother’s turn!
Doctor Coyne, Marlena, and Melissa were great. I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed and they were super professional, got me in right away and took all the stress out of having them removed. I would recommend them anyday
They were very nice! Marlena made me feel very comfortable. And whoever usually answers the phone/checked me in was also very nice and helpful, think her name was Melissa maybe. Dr. Coyne was awesome and made the wisdom tooth extraction process quick and easy. wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I don't have insurance and it was less expensive than I anticipated. The healing process has also been much less intense than I anticipated. All in all it was very quick, easy, and affordable and the staff is super caring and friendly. I will definitely go back.
