Impacted Wisdom Teeth Lake Charles LA
What is an impacted tooth?
Although most people develop and grow 32 permanent adult teeth, many times their jaws are too small to accommodate the four wisdom teeth. When inadequate space prevents the teeth from erupting they are called impacted wisdom teeth. This indicates their inability to erupt into the proper position for chewing and cleaning.
Do You Want Your Wisdom Teeth Removed?
If your wisdom teeth are causing you pain or you want to avoid future problems, contact our office to schedule an appointment.
Types Of Impactions
We will need to see you for a consultation to determine if you will benefit from wisdom tooth removal. A special x-ray of your mouth and jaws (panorex) will be taken to determine if your wisdom teeth are impacted, if there is room for them to erupt, and how difficult it will be to have them removed.
- Soft Tissue Impaction: There is not enough room to allow the gum tissue to retract for adequate cleaning of the tooth.
- Partial Bony Impaction: There is enough space to allow the wisdom tooth to partially erupt. However, the tooth cannot function properly in the chewing process, and creates cleaning problems, among others.
- Complete Bony Impaction: There is NO space for the tooth to erupt. It remains embedded in the jaw bone or if even partially visible requires complex surgical techniques for removal. The impacted wisdom tooth may also be in an unusual position and difficult to remove. This situation can also arise when the shape or size of the jaw bone and other facial structures make removal of this tooth significantly more complex.

Dr. Boudreaux and staff were all amazing. Annabelle had some anxiety. They allowed me to be back there with her up until the procedure. They explained everything for aftercare.

The procedure was over before my nerves kicked in. Dr. B got all four of my wisdom teeth out in a flash. And I'm not in much pain either than I thought it was going to be. So, I'm happy that I don't have to feel that pain ever again!

Overall, I had an extremely pleasant experience with Lake Charles Oral Surgery. Dr Boudreaux was very precise and knowledgeable; he definitely helped ease my anxiety. The nursing staff was so patient and gentle. Although I'm glad to never have to do this again, I would recommend this office to anyone in need.

The procedure was a bit expensive, but they did such a good job that it was worth it. I have heard horror stories of how painful the days after getting your wisdom teeth pulled are, but thankfully I've had no issues. They went over the before and after procedures really well. I had them pulled on a Friday, which was great since I have Fridays off. I've noticed lots of places don't do procedures on Fridays. I was feeling fine that Saturday with a bit of swelling though. I was able to get back to work on Monday no problem.

On my second day after the extraction of one wisdom tooth, I find that all anxiety I had before surgery has disappeared. I was completely put at ease and quickly given something to relax me. The nurse and other ladies were very kind and friendly. Dr Fisher was attentive in the consultation and the nurse gave me a lot of information. All of this helped to make my experience great.
