Types of Wisdom Teeth Extractions
Simple Wisdom Tooth Extraction
A simple extraction may be appropriate when a wisdom tooth has fully erupted through the gums and can be safely accessed. Before treatment begins, the area is thoroughly numbed with local anesthesia. The tooth is then carefully loosened and removed. Recovery varies from patient to patient, but many people experience a relatively straightforward healing period following a simple extraction. Our team will provide personalized instructions to help protect the extraction site and support your recovery.Surgical Wisdom Tooth Removal
Surgical removal may be necessary when a wisdom tooth is partially erupted, impacted beneath the gums, or covered by bone. Depending on the position of the tooth, Dr. Godfrey may create a small opening in the gum tissue, remove a limited amount of surrounding bone, or divide the tooth into sections so it can be removed more carefully. Lone Mountain Dental performs wisdom teeth extractions using local anesthesia. Patients remain awake during treatment while the area is carefully numbed to help minimize discomfort. If diagnostic imaging shows that a case requires a different level of anesthesia or specialist care, we will explain the findings and help coordinate an appropriate referral.Emergency Wisdom Tooth Relief
Wisdom tooth pain, swelling, tenderness, or signs of infection should be evaluated promptly. Lone Mountain Dental offers same-day emergency appointments when availability permits. During your visit, we will identify the cause of your symptoms and recommend the appropriate next step. Depending on your condition, treatment may include an extraction, short-term management of pain or infection, or scheduling a future procedure. In more complex cases, a referral to an oral surgeon may be recommended. If you are experiencing facial swelling, difficulty swallowing, difficulty breathing, or rapidly worsening symptoms, seek urgent medical attention.What to Expect During Wisdom Teeth Removal
Step 1: Consultation and Examination
Your visit begins with a clinical examination and diagnostic X-rays to evaluate the position of your wisdom teeth and their relationship to nearby teeth, bone, nerves, and sinuses. Additional imaging may be recommended when clinically necessary. Dr. Godfrey will review your dental and medical history, discuss whether extraction is appropriate, and explain the recommended treatment plan. You will also receive information about expected costs and any services that may not be included in the quoted treatment price. Lone Mountain Dental performs wisdom teeth extractions using local anesthesia only. If your case requires IV sedation, general anesthesia, or specialist care, we will explain the findings and help coordinate an appropriate referral.Step 2: The Extraction Procedure
Before the procedure begins, local anesthesia is administered to thoroughly numb the treatment area. You will remain awake during treatment, but the anesthetic helps minimize discomfort at the extraction site. The length and complexity of the procedure depend on the number, position, and condition of the wisdom teeth being removed. For a surgical extraction, Dr. Godfrey may create a small opening in the gum tissue, remove a limited amount of surrounding bone, or divide the tooth into sections so it can be removed more carefully. Sutures may be placed when appropriate.Step 3: Recovery and Follow-Up
Before leaving the office, you will receive personalized post-operative instructions explaining how to care for the extraction sites. You may be advised to eat soft foods, use cold packs to help manage swelling, avoid smoking, and refrain from using straws during the early healing period. Some soreness, swelling, and mild bleeding can be expected after an extraction. Recovery time varies depending on the complexity of the procedure and the individual patient. Many people resume normal daily activities within several days, while complete healing takes longer. Contact Lone Mountain Dental if you experience severe or worsening pain, persistent bleeding, fever, increasing swelling, or other concerning symptoms. Seek urgent medical attention for difficulty breathing, difficulty swallowing, or rapidly increasing facial swelling.Areas We Serve

Frequently Asked Questions
The price for wisdom teeth removal can vary based on tooth complexity and anesthesia type. The cost varies based on the number of teeth extracted, whether the extraction is simple or surgical, and which sedation option you choose. Insurance coverage affects the total cost of wisdom teeth removal. We accept many PPO dental insurance plans and can help verify your available benefits before treatment. Coverage and out-of-pocket costs vary by plan. For a detailed look at extraction pricing, see our guide on how much a tooth extraction costs in Las Vegas.
Wisdom teeth removal is often recommended before age 20. Removing wisdom teeth earlier – in the late teens to early 20s – tends to reduce surgical complexity and the risk of bone complications because roots are not yet fully formed. You should schedule a consultation immediately if you notice pain in the back of your jaw, swelling around your gums, difficulty opening your mouth, or if a panoramic X-ray shows impaction. Most wisdom teeth should be removed before they erupt to protect your other teeth from crowding and decay.
Most people begin returning to normal activities within 3–5 days. Full healing of the extraction site typically takes 1–2 weeks. During recovery, stick to soft foods, use ice packs to manage swelling, take prescribed pain medication as directed, and avoid smoking or using straws to promote healing and prevent dry socket. Complications of wisdom teeth removal can include infection and nerve damage, though these are relatively uncommon – delayed-onset infection occurs in roughly 1.1% of cases, and temporary nerve paresthesia in about 1–2%. If discomfort increases rather than improves after the first few days, contact our office immediately.
