Wisdom Teeth Removal in Chantilly
If you live in Chantilly and are considering wisdom teeth removal, Precision Periodontics & Implant Dentistry offers the advanced periodontal and implant care you deserve at our Reston office. Wisdom teeth removal extracts the third molars that typically emerge in the late teens or early twenties and often cause crowding, impaction, or recurring infection.
We welcome patients from Chantilly and surrounding areas to our Reston office, conveniently located about 15 minutes away. Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to cysts, damage to adjacent teeth, and recurring pericoronitis infections. Timely removal prevents these complications and protects the health of surrounding teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Wisdom Teeth Removal FAQ for Chantilly Patients
At what age should wisdom teeth be removed?
The ideal age for wisdom teeth removal is between 16 and 22, when the roots are not fully developed and the bone is less dense, making extraction easier with fewer complications and faster healing. However, wisdom teeth can be removed at any age when they cause problems or are at risk for future issues.
What is dry socket and how can I prevent it?
Dry socket (alveolar osteitis) occurs when the blood clot in the extraction site dissolves or dislodges prematurely, exposing the underlying bone and nerves. Prevention includes avoiding straws, smoking, vigorous rinsing, and spitting for at least 72 hours after extraction. It occurs in about 2 to 5 percent of extractions and is more common in lower wisdom teeth.
Do all wisdom teeth need to be removed?
No. Wisdom teeth that are fully erupted, properly positioned, healthy, and cleanable may not need removal. However, most people lack sufficient jaw space for wisdom teeth, leading to impaction, crowding, or hygiene problems. Your periodontist uses panoramic X-rays and CBCT imaging to evaluate whether removal is recommended.
What types of anesthesia are available for wisdom teeth removal?
Options include local anesthesia (numbing only), nitrous oxide plus local anesthesia, oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation. Most patients having all four wisdom teeth removed prefer IV sedation for maximum comfort. Your periodontist will discuss options and recommend the best approach based on the complexity of your case and your comfort preferences.
