Broken Teeth & Wisdom Teeth Extraction in Jersey City, NJ

Wisdom teeth are frequently extracted if they are impacted—meaning they are hidden under the gums or only partially emerged. This condition can lead to crowding or an increased risk of infection, even for those with straight teeth.

It is standard to wait several months after an extraction to allow your gums to heal properly before placing an implant. However, some patients may be eligible for implant placement much sooner, depending on their specific gum and bone health.

Most patients return to their normal daily routine within a few days of a tooth or wisdom tooth removal, though full healing of the area can take several weeks. We provide aftercare instructions and any necessary prescriptions to manage discomfort and swelling during your recovery.

While we strive for broken tooth repair whenever possible, extraction is often the better choice for cases involving severe gum disease, widespread decay, or significant pain. A dentist might also suggest removal if cysts or other issues are found during an examination.

You should not feel pain during the procedure itself. Depending on your needs, we use local anesthesia to numb the area or general anesthesia to allow you to sleep through the surgery.
