Impacted Wisdom Tooth Removal in Tysons
Patients throughout Tysons choose Precision Periodontics & Implant Dentistry for impacted wisdom tooth removal because of our team's reputation for meticulous periodontal care and outstanding outcomes. Impacted wisdom tooth removal is a surgical procedure to extract third molars that are trapped beneath the gum tissue or bone and are unable to fully erupt into the mouth.
Impacted wisdom teeth can cause serious problems including cyst formation, damage to adjacent teeth, infection, and even jaw bone damage. Surgical removal prevents these complications. From Tysons, our Reston office is approximately 15 minutes away, making it easy to receive impacted wisdom tooth removal treatment without a long commute.

Frequently Asked Questions
Impacted Wisdom Tooth Removal FAQ for Tysons Patients
What makes wisdom tooth removal different when performed by a periodontist?
Periodontists have specialized training in the bone and soft tissue surrounding teeth. When removing impacted wisdom teeth, we focus on preserving the bone and attachment on the adjacent second molar — a critical factor that general dentists and oral surgeons may overlook, which affects the long-term health of your remaining teeth.
What are the risks of leaving impacted wisdom teeth untreated?
Impacted wisdom teeth can cause recurring infections (pericoronitis), damage to adjacent molars, cyst formation in the jawbone, crowding of other teeth, and periodontal pockets on the back of the second molar. Even asymptomatic impacted teeth may be causing silent bone damage.
How long is the recovery after impacted wisdom tooth removal?
Most patients return to normal activities within three to five days. Swelling peaks at 48 to 72 hours, then gradually subsides. Full socket healing takes six to eight weeks. Following post-operative instructions — including gentle salt-water rinses and avoiding straws or smoking — significantly reduces the risk of dry socket.
Should I have all four wisdom teeth removed at once?
Removing all four at once is often recommended to minimize the number of surgical procedures, anesthesia exposures, and recovery periods. However, your periodontist may recommend staged removal if one side has complications or if you prefer to recover from one side at a time.
