Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom tooth removal helps prevent pain, infection, and crowding while protecting surrounding teeth. Removing problematic wisdom teeth early can improve oral health, simplify hygiene, and reduce the risk of future complications, ultimately supporting a healthier, more comfortable smile that fosters long-term confidence.

Wisdom Teeth Removal in Grand Junction, CO

Wisdom teeth removal is a common oral surgery that involves the removal of one or more third molars, which typically emerge in the late teens or early twenties. These teeth often lack enough room to grow properly, leading to crowding, pain, or infection. Removing wisdom teeth can help prevent problems such as gum disease, tooth decay, cysts, and damage to nearby teeth.

With modern techniques and anesthesia, the procedure is routine, safe, and designed to support long-term oral health and comfort. Our caring team at Bookcliff Family Dental will guide you through the recovery process and provide personalized aftercare.

Sedation Dentistry at Bookcliff Family Dental

While we can’t put you entirely to sleep, our team does offer minimal sedation, also known as oral conscious sedation. Oral conscious sedation helps patients feel calm and relaxed during dental treatment using prescribed medication. You remain awake and responsive, but anxiety is reduced, making visits more comfortable for those with dental fear or sensitivity and longer procedures when appropriate.

Before scheduling your wisdom teeth removal with oral conscious sedation, we’ll have a consultation to discuss your medical history and review our policies and procedures. If you’re receiving minimal sedation, you must have a driver to and from your appointment; we also recommend that they attend the consultation if possible. Call our office with any questions.
