Wisdom Teeth Removal in Cary, NC
Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars that typically emerge in your late teens or early twenties. While not all wisdom teeth need removal, many become impacted, grow in at an angle, or crowd existing teeth—causing pain, swelling, or infection. Removing them early can prevent more serious oral health problems in the future. Our team specializes in comfortable, efficient wisdom tooth extractions with careful attention to your safety, comfort, and long-term health.
