Around 35% of people never have to have their wisdom teeth out, so chances are very good that at some point someone in your home will need to see our dentists for a wisdom tooth removal in Palatine, Illinois. If your son, daughter or even you need this treatment, contact Advocate Dental of Palatine at 847-359-8732 for your appointment with Dr. George Skoog.
Wisdom teeth are commonly known as third molars. They are often the last teeth to erupt from the gumline, and as such, the mouth usually does not have enough space for the wisdom teeth to grow in properly. If the wisdom teeth cannot fit, they may grow in at an odd angle or become impacted, a condition where teeth cannot grow through gum tissues and the jawbone. This may lead to several harmful dental conditions, such as:
- Teeth misalignment
- Damaged jawbones
- Infection
- Tooth decay
- Oral cysts
- Damaged surrounding teeth
To avoid these complications, our dentists may recommend having your wisdom teeth removed. Your mouth and bite will be carefully examined by our dentists to see if wisdom teeth removal is necessary for the health of your smile. If it is, we will consult with you so that you know what to expect before, during and after your wisdom teeth removal. The procedure itself should be quick and efficient to help ensure you have a positive dental experience.
Give our dental office a call today to schedule a consultation with our dentists and see if wisdom teeth removal is right for you. We are dedicated to your smile and are happy to answer any questions you have about your dental care.
Patient Reviews
Dr. Skoog is very dedicated to his work and the well-being of his patients. On two different circumstances he was able to squeeze me in when he had a fully booked day. He is very good with understanding a patient’s apprehension of dentists. 🙂
So appreciative to Dr. Skoog for taking care of my husband’s terrible toothache during the holiday season. We are not patients of Dr. Skoog as we live out of state. He stayed late on a Saturday to alleviate my husband’s pain. We can’t thank him enough! Highly recommend.
Great care! The office is usually on time or early. Dr Skoog is very good and offers a lot of services eliminating the need to go to multiple providers which saves time. All staff is professional and friendly as well they make you feel like your their close friend.
