Wisdom Tooth Extractions in Hendersonville, NC

Why Would I Need My Wisdom Teeth Removed?

Extracting your wisdom teeth is necessary when you experience intense pain in the wisdom teeth from tooth decay or physical trauma. You may also need to do so if the soft tissue below the wisdom teeth experiences recurrent infections. Extractions are also necessary for impacted wisdom teeth. That said, the ultimate decision to extract your wisdom teeth rests on your dental health.

The best Dental practice I have ever been to as a patient. Very innovative & most pleasant assistants. Open atmosphere, everyone always happy from the minute you walk in the door. Dr. Weis is a very talented & up to date Dentist with all latest technology which makes the whole experience for the patient easier. I have been a patient for 23 years & not going anywhere!!!

Priscilla Rouse

Absolutely love Dr. Amy! She took care of my baby’s frenectomy and did an amazing job. Not only did she do the actual lasering well, she took care of my daughter really well too. She didn’t treat her like just another patient. I cannot recommend her enough if your child needs a frenectomy. She has an OT that she works with in office to make sure your baby has the therapy they need before and after as well. Jill is just as phenomenal as Dr. Amy. I know the idea of lasering your baby’s mouth is scary, but you’re in good hands here.

Lizzie S.

Everything about working with Dr. Amy and Jill was phenomenal - as a first-time mom, I felt very comfortable with their assessment and treatment of my child’s ties. The whole process was very holistic and baby/parent-centered. I would highly recommend their team!

Jordan Masterson

We have nothing but positive words to describe our experience with vibrant dental and Dr. Amy. She is very comforting, kind and great at explaining tongue tie process for our little guy. I especially appreciate the holistic approach Dr. Amy takes to her care.

Hannah Campbell

My newborn was referred by my LC to Dr. Amy Weis for an extremely tight tongue tie that seemed to be hindering her ability to breastfeed. Dr. Amy called me herself to discuss what a consultation and next steps would look like for such an appointment/procedure. Dr. Amy worked in tandem with her occupational therapist, Jill, and they both felt a tongue and lip tie cut would be the best course of action for my little one. Dr. Amy and Jill were both so kind, professional, empathetic to my new mother nerves, and gentle with our little one! My husband and I both felt that she went the extra mile to make us comfortable with our decision to proceed with the cuts and generally cared for her future prognosis and wellbeing. I would highly recommend Dr. Amy and her team if you find that you or your little one needs this procedure done!!

Emily Williams

I cannot recommend Dr Amy enough, especially for handling any kind of oral ties. The initial assessment was extremely thorough and Dr Amy made herself available for any and all questions that arose afterwards. We ended up not having our child’s ties released so I can’t speak to the release procedure and aftercare, but the fact that we did not feel pressured into the procedure and felt comfortable making the decision we did says volumes about this practice! So many places with release ties without proper reason/assessment, and that is NOT this practice.

Erin Heath

100% would recommend working with Dr. Amy & Dr. Jill to assist in oral tie release and treatment. Our baby is on the road to recovery and showing signs of improvement

Natalie Fox

Dr. Amy Weis is a top notch professional and we are so lucky to have her in the area. She is well educated and trained in ties, so she knows how to make sure outcomes are more likely to be successful. Working with an OT and an IBCLC is so important! My daughter had all of her oral ties fixed about two months ago and I'm so happy my baby girl had someone I could truly trust to do this procedure. I'll be taking my other kids back for theirs to be done as well.

Mrs. Anglo Ortho

As a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner and lactation consultant, I chose Vibrant dental for my babes lip and tongue frenctomies because of Dr. Amy Weiss's technique and through evaluation which included an OT. I could not have been more happy with my choice. In addition to being an expert in her field, Dr. Weis is incredibly kind & compassionate. She and OT Jill looked beyond my babe's mouth, optimizing his overall mobility, feeding and caring for our hearts as well. I highly recommend Vibrant Dental for babes with lip and tongue ties!

Amy Montes

We were referred here by our pediatrician for our 10 week old for a tongue and lip tie. Dr. Amy and Jill are great. Everyone that works here is incredibly helpful, nice, and knowledgeable! Dr. Amy even texted us over the weekend to see how our little girl was doing. You can really tell that they care about their patients! If any parent out there is reading this and their child has a possible lip/tongue, I highly recommend having your pediatrician send a referral here!! I didn’t worry one bit while my daughter had her procedure done because I knew she was in good hands! Thank you Dr. Amy and Jill

‍

Graydon Bannister

Dr.Amy and Jill are an amazing duo! My husband and I are both dental professionals and we wanted to make sure our little one was set up for success before, during, and after his tongue tie release. I’m glad to report that our little one is striving and we wouldn’t have been able to do it without this team. We felt well-informed and supported throughout it all! Thank you!

Yamilet Snelson

Amy and Jill were absolutely AMAZING. They made getting our daughters tie released such an easy, stress free process. They gave us such helpful information and walked us through the entire procedure! Highly recommend to anyone!!!

The Benefits of Wisdom Teeth Removal

Protects Surrounding Teeth From Damage

The pressure from impacted wisdom teeth can be incredibly detrimental to the roots of the surrounding teeth, weakening them and loosening the teeth. Crooked wisdom teeth can also grind the surrounding teeth, wearing them down and decreasing their chewing capability. Removing the wisdom teeth protects the neighboring teeth from such damage.

Reduces the Likelihood of Oral Disease and Inflammation

Wisdom teeth with dental decay out the rest of the teeth at risk of dental decay. Plus, cavity-causing bacteria can also cause inflammation of the gums. Removing the infected wisdom tooth decreases the likelihood of the infection spreading to the other teeth.

Prevents Orthodontic Problems

Crooked wisdom teeth can cause teeth crowding, especially in people with hypodontia. The teeth crowding is a recipe for future orthodontic issues that are costly to fix. Extracting the tooth early on can save a bundle in future orthodontic treatment costs and preserve your natural smile.

The Wisdom Tooth Extraction Process

Dental Examination and Anesthesia

Your Hendersonville dentist will first examine your wisdom tooth and take x-rays to check the tooth’s size, position, and orientation in the jaw. This also helps determine any complications affecting your wisdom tooth and other teeth. After, the dentist will inject anesthesia into the gums near the wisdom tooth to numb the area.

Tooth Extraction and Gauze Placement

Once the anesthesia takes full effect, your dentist will use an elevator to “elevate” and loosen the tooth from its socket. Afterwards, they’ll use dental forceps to grab the wisdom tooth and rock it back and forth until it comes off its socket. They’ll then place a gauze pad on the extraction site to stop the bleeding.

‍

Recovery and Aftercare

Your dentist will ask you to bite into the gauze pad to help with the bleeding. They’ll then issue instructions for taking care of the wound until recovery. These instructions include what foods to eat, what to avoid, and how to clean your teeth. The wound should heal completely in two to three weeks.

around 10 million wisdom teeth are extracted each year?

Frequently Asked Questions

Check out these frequently asked questions, or call us to speak with our team.

What Will Happen If I Don’t Get My Wisdom Teeth Removed?

Nothing will happen if you decide to stay with your wisdom teeth, especially if they’re healthy. Only infected or impacted teeth should be extracted to preserve your dental health. Your dentist will examine your teeth before deciding the necessity of a wisdom tooth extraction.

Are Wisdom Tooth Extractions Painful?

No, wisdom teeth extractions aren’t painful despite their invasiveness. That’s because your dentist will inject a local anesthetic inside the gums to block pain signals from the nerves to the brain. This numbs the area and guarantees a painless procedure.

This dental office is very clean with modern technology yet has maintained a personal and caring touch. We are very impressed and appreciate the great work!!

Matt Metzger

Vibrant dental is by far the best experience I’ve ever had with a dental office. Everyone involved with this establishment is fantastic. I can’t say enough about them. Very pleased!

110%, hands down the best dental experience I’ve ever had! Vibrant Dental is truly the highest quality dental care you can find, and Dr. Michael Weis is the best in the business!

1) Dr. Michael Weis is amazing. With his amazing technique, he gave me a pain free injection to numb up my tooth. He treats my teeth as if they were his own — striving for perfection, going above and beyond, and using his skilled eye to make sure the tooth not only matches color but also shape. He is so skilled that I can’t even tell with my eyes or the feel of my tongue what is filling and what is my natural tooth. Incredible attention to detail!On top of all this, I had a chip in my front tooth I’ve had for half a decade. In absolutely no time at all, he filled in my chip and matched the color so seamlessly it’s as if nothing had ever happened to my teeth. It feels as if he has completely restored my smile!

Dr. Michael Weis is so gentle, regularly checks in with you while working, and is so kind. I truly felt so cared for with his genuine personality and kind demeanor. He is so thoughtful and thinks about what each step and moment would be like for the patient. You will not find another dentist who takes better care of you than Dr. Michael Weis!

2) A luxury experience! Dr. Weis and his staff treat you like royalty all the way through from the moment you walk in the door till you leave. Amazing, thoughtful, above and beyond details — weighted blankets, an eye/face massager while you get your work done, a fresh invigorating scent, calming music, friendliness through and through. While Dr. Weis was doing my filling, I almost fell asleep because I felt so calm with the gentle, relaxing eye massage, calm music, and gentle hands of Dr. Weis. The waiting room has an assortment of refreshing drinks, beautiful decor, and even a handmade live edge table made by Dr. Weis himself!!If you’re looking for the highest of quality dental care, look no further! Vibrant Dental will take care of your dental care in a professional, above-and-beyond way while making you feel cared for like royalty along the way.Best dental experience of my life! There’s nowhere else I could even think about going to now after my incredible dental visit at Vibrant Dental. Dr. Michael Weis is the best in the business — amazing bedside manner, expertise, thoughtfulness, attention to detail, and skill! 11/10 stars!

Alexander Chang

Both Dr Weis’ (husband and wife) were so kind and attentive. We were visiting from out of town and my husband had a dental emergency. Dr Michael Weis came in on his day off to help us. Both he and his wife went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and treat my husband’s problem. Vibrant Dental is a valuable asset to Western NC and we are so grateful to them! I highly recommend!!!

Ann Swanson

The best dental experience! As someone with anxiety in the dental chair, both Drs. Weis took intentional care in being gentle, encouraging, and talking me through every process…Their joy and passion for what they do is evident in their patient care and highest quality work!

Emily S.

Going to the dentist is always stressful for me, especially for the first visit. Vibrant Dental welcomed me in. The professionals that work here made me feel comfortable, and the stress melted away. Michael Weis, the dentist, answered my questions and made me feel assured that he was going to take good care of me.

Michael

Amazing experience, friendliest staff, after one visit you feel like part of the family. Loved every second, and this is coming from someone who is not a fan of any kind of doctor visit. Cannot recommend enough. 😊

Erin Peterson

I am a part timer with my summer residence here in Hendersonville. I am so lucky to have found a wonderful dentist here ! Dr. Weis and his staff are the best!

You won't be disappointed!
