Wisdom Teeth Removal in Alexandria, VA
McLean & Greater Arlington Wisdom Teeth Pull
Wisdom teeth are the third and final set of molars that most people get in their late teens or early twenties, and they are often difficult for many people to clean properly. Another struggle occurs when your wisdom teeth start to come in and you don't have enough space in your mouth for them, causing a number of problems. With years of experience, the Dental Masters
team knows how to remove wisdom teeth while keeping our patients comfortable.
Benefits of Wisdom Teeth Removal
Many patients benefit from wisdom teeth removal. The surgery can help to relieve pain and prevent future problems from occurring. Patients who have crowding or impaction suffer from infection or the issue of food getting trapped which can lead to
decay. Wisdom teeth removal is often recommended to prevent these problems. Once the wisdom teeth are removed, patients benefit from reduced complications caused by them.
The Wisdom Teeth Removal Procedure
The surgery itself is usually performed under local anesthesia, meaning you’ll be awake during the procedure but won’t feel any pain. Your dentist or oral surgeon will make an incision in your gums to expose the wisdom teeth and then remove them. Tools that are used include forceps, elevators, and burs. In some cases, the teeth may need to be sectioned before they can be removed. Once the teeth have been removed, the incisions will be closed with stitches.
After the surgery, you can expect some swelling and soreness in your mouth. This is normal and will typically resolve itself. The incisions are usually closed with stitches, and you may need to take pain medication for a few days after the surgery. In most cases, wisdom teeth removal is a relatively simple and straightforward procedure with few complications.
Does Insurance Cover Wisdom Teeth Removal?
Most dental insurance plans cover at least a portion of wisdom teeth removal. However, coverage varies depending on the insurer and the individual plan. It’s important to check with your insurance provider to see what’s covered before having the procedure. Since wisdom teeth removal directly impacts your oral health, it’s typically considered a necessary procedure.

"I’ve been going to Dental Masters of Alexandria for years and a patient of Dr. Laviola since he started practicing here. He’s very personable, knowledgeable, takes time to explain procedures (I’ve had quite a few!) and is just an amazing dentist. The entire staff is wonderful, always helpful and friendly. Highly recommend!"

Dr. Laviola and the whole team takes extraordinary care to make sure you are always comfortable throughout any cleaning and procedure, both major and minor (I have had both). The entire support team is also great."
