Wisdom Teeth Removal Near Cincinnati, OH
Wisdom tooth removal is a common oral surgery procedure that involves extracting one or more third molars, which are located at the back of the mouth. These teeth often become impacted, grow in at improper angles, or create crowding. Removal is typically recommended when wisdom teeth cause pain, infection, swelling, decay, or threaten the alignment of surrounding teeth.
At Moorehead Dentistry, we offer wisdom teeth removal services at our offices in Cincinnati, Batavia, and Lebanon, prioritizing your comfort throughout the procedure. We take every precaution to ensure our patients’ comfort during wisdom tooth removal. When we extract wisdom teeth, we use Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) to speed up the healing process. In this procedure, blood is drawn from the patient, centrifuged, and a platelet-rich fibrin membrane is then inserted into the sockets. The use of PRP reduces the incidence of dry sockets and promotes faster healing.
We accept most major insurance providers, including Medicaid, for this particular procedure. To schedule a consultation, you can either call our office or conveniently book an appointment online through the provided link.
