Wisdom Teeth Removal in Reno, NV

Third molars out before they cause years of trouble.

Wisdom teeth removal in Reno, NV — handled gently and priced clearly. Third molars usually appear between 17 and 25, and when they come in sideways, crowd other teeth, or trap infection, taking them out early prevents years of trouble. We remove wisdom teeth in-office with local anesthetic and sedation options, and most patients are back to school or work in 2–3 days.

What Removal Is Like at Our Reno Office

Most wisdom teeth are removed right here in our office — no referral across town. After a 3D look at the roots and nerves, we numb the area thoroughly and offer sedation options so you stay relaxed. Simple eruptions come out quickly; impacted teeth are removed surgically with the same gentle approach we use for all surgical extractions.

Students home for break: we can consult, X-ray, and extract on a compressed timeline — mention your schedule when you book.
