Wisdom Teeth Removal in Columbus, OH
Wisdom teeth (third molars) usually arrive between ages 17 and 25 , and for many Columbus patients there simply isn’t room for them. When they come in at an angle, stay trapped under the gum (impacted), or crowd neighboring teeth, removal by an oral surgeon is the safest long-term fix.
What to know about wisdom teeth removal
Why remove them?
Impacted wisdom teeth can cause pain, swelling, gum infection (pericoronitis), cysts, and damage to the second molars in front of them. Early removal , before roots fully form , typically means an easier surgery and faster healing.
Sedation included in the plan
Most patients choose IV sedation and remember little of the visit. Local anesthesia and nitrous are also available; your surgeon reviews your health history and anxiety level at the consult.
All four, one visit
In most cases all four wisdom teeth are removed in a single appointment of under an hour, so you recover once instead of four times.
Who is this for?
- Teens and young adults whose X-rays show impaction or crowding
- Anyone with recurring pain, swelling, or food trapping at the back of the mouth
- Patients referred by a Columbus-area dentist or orthodontist
What does it cost in Columbus?
$2,200 - $3,800 total for all four with IV sedation (self-pay); many insured patients pay $900 - $2,200 out of pocket after benefits. You receive a written, line-by-line estimate at your consult.
