The Wisdom Teeth Removal Process
Exam + Digital X-Rays
Dr. Sharaf reviews your digital X-rays to map each wisdom tooth’s position, root shape, and nerve proximity. You’ll see exactly what’s going on.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does wisdom teeth removal take?
Most extractions take 30 to 60 minutes depending on the number of teeth and complexity. Impacted teeth may take slightly longer. Dr. Sharaf will give you a time estimate after reviewing your X-rays.
Is wisdom teeth removal painful?
You won’t feel pain during the procedure. With IV sedation, most patients have no memory of it. Post-operative soreness lasts 3 to 5 days and is manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Can I drive home after the procedure?
If you receive IV sedation or nitrous oxide, bring a driver. With local anesthesia only, most patients drive themselves. We’ll confirm your plan before surgery day.
How long is recovery?
Most patients return to normal activities within 3 to 5 days. Swelling peaks around day 2 and goes down within a week. Stick to soft foods for the first few days and follow the aftercare sheet we provide.
Do all 4 wisdom teeth need to come out?
Not necessarily. Dr. Sharaf evaluates each tooth individually. If a wisdom tooth is erupted, properly positioned, and easy to clean, it may not need removal. We only recommend extracting teeth that pose a real risk.
What sedation options do you offer?
Three levels: local anesthesia (you’re awake but numb), nitrous oxide (relaxed but aware), and IV sedation (you sleep through it). Dr. Williams, our board-certified anesthesiologist, administers all IV sedation.
How much does it cost? Does insurance cover it?
Cost depends on the number of teeth, complexity, and sedation choice. Most dental insurance covers a portion of surgical extractions. We verify your benefits upfront and offer 0% APR financing through CareCredit and Cherry.
