Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars which start to erupt into the mouth between 14 to 25 years of age. The eruption of these teeth is frequently associated with pain and infection as these teeth tend to be impacted. WHAT ARE IMPACTED TEETH? The term "impacted" simply describes a tooth which is not fully exposed in the mouth because it is covered by soft tissue or bone. Any tooth may become impacted due to crowding or maleruption, but statistically the third molars (wisdom teeth) are most likely to become impacted. WHAT ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS Dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth which look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything and can smile with confidence, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved. DOES MY INSURANCE COVER THIS PROCEDURE? Most dental and medical plans will cover all or much of the cost of removal of an impacted tooth. Frequently telephone calls or a written request may be necessary to verify and confirm the extent of your coverage and your specific plan eligibility requirements. Our office will make every attempt to assist you in understanding your insurance plan and help you communicate effectively with your insurance company.
