Wisdom Teeth Removal in Chelsea
in Southeast Michigan

Wisdom teeth removal is a common oral surgery that can prevent more serious dental issues when performed at the right time. At Trillium Oral Surgery and Implantology, our board-certified surgeons specialize in the safe and compassionate removal of third molars, commonly known as wisdom teeth. 

These teeth often become impacted or misaligned, leading to pain, infection, or damage to neighboring teeth. By offering evidence-based care and a calm, reassuring environment, our team ensures each patient feels at ease before, during, and after the procedure. Whether you’re just starting to feel symptoms or are looking for a second opinion about your wisdom teeth, we’re here to help with expert care right in your community.

Why Should I Get Wisdom Teeth Removal?

Delaying wisdom teeth removal can result in a range of complications including the crowding of healthy teeth, gum inflammation, jaw discomfort, and even cysts or infections. At Trillium Oral Surgery and Implantology, our surgeons assess each case comprehensively and use advanced surgical techniques to minimize discomfort and speed recovery.

For many teens and young adults, early evaluation and removal can reduce future orthodontic concerns and prevent unexpected dental emergencies. And with our team’s ongoing global education and leadership in local dental study clubs, patients benefit from forward-focused solutions that prioritize safety, precision, and lasting results.

The Benefits of Wisdom Teeth Removal

Prevent Painful Impactions

When wisdom teeth become trapped under the gums or grow at awkward angles, they can cause ongoing pain or infections. Removal eliminates this discomfort and preserves dental health

Protect Surrounding Teeth

Impacted wisdom teeth commonly push against second molars, risking alignment issues or tooth damage. Early removal protects your existing smile from shifting or decay.

Reduce Risk of Infection

Partially erupted wisdom teeth can be hard to keep clean and more prone to bacterial infection. Extraction lowers chances of gum disease and related complications.

The Wisdom Teeth Removal Process

Initial Consultation and Imaging

During your first visit to our Chelsea clinic, a Trillium oral surgeon will carefully evaluate your mouth using digital imaging to assess the position and development of your wisdom teeth. This step allows us to create a tailored plan that addresses your unique oral health landscape and minimizes risks. Each consultation is patient-focused, with plenty of time for questions and one-on-one discussion to ensure you’re fully informed and at ease.

Surgical Extraction Under IV Sedation

Your procedure will be performed by our experienced team in a sterile, safety-first setting. For comfort, most patients choose IV sedation, a deeply relaxing method that keeps you calm while our surgeon gently extracts the teeth. Thanks to our commitment to ongoing surgical innovation, techniques are minimally invasive, and many procedures are completed in under an hour, depending on the case.

Post-Operative Care and Recovery

After surgery, we provide personalized aftercare instructions to support healing and minimize discomfort. Patients are guided through what to expect in the days following the procedure, including tips on pain management, diet, and activity levels. Our Chelsea team remains available for questions and follow-ups, reinforcing our commitment to compassionate, continuous care after your visit.
