Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, typically emerge in the late teens or early twenties. For many patients, these teeth cause problems like impaction, pain, swelling, or shifting of adjacent teeth. At Emergency Dentist of Chicago, we offer professional wisdom tooth extractions to alleviate discomfort and protect your long-term dental health.

Our team is experienced in evaluating and removing problematic wisdom teeth, whether they are partially erupted, impacted, or growing at an angle. We use digital imaging to assess the position of the tooth and its roots, ensuring precise planning and a smooth procedure. Depending on your unique case, the extraction may be simple or surgical. Rest assured, we prioritize patient comfort, using local anesthesia and sedation options to help you relax.

Delaying wisdom tooth removal can lead to infection, cyst formation, or even damage to nearby teeth. That’s why we encourage early evaluation. Whether you're in pain or were advised to have them removed as a preventive measure, our dental team is here to help you make an informed decision.

Benefits

The Benefits of Wisdom Tooth Extractions

Prevents Crowding and Misalignment

Removing wisdom teeth early helps protect the alignment of surrounding teeth, reducing the risk of future orthodontic complications.

Relieves Pain and Inflammation

Impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth can cause swelling, jaw stiffness, and persistent discomfort. Extractions provide immediate relief.

Prevents Infections and Abscesses

Trapped food and bacteria around impacted teeth often lead to gum infections or abscesses. Extraction removes this risk entirely.

Simplifies Future Dental Care

Once wisdom teeth are removed, cleaning becomes easier, reducing the risk of cavities or gum disease in the back of the mouth.

What Our Patients Say

Hear from real patients who received fast, compassionate, and expert emergency dental care—restoring their smiles and relieving their pain when they needed it most.

I was out of town (I live in California) and had a dental emergency late in the afternoon and was lucky enough to find this clinic. From the moment I called, the staff was responsive and incredibly helpful. They got me in quickly and Dr. Mohs was both professional and compassionate. They explained everything clearly and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. From someone who has had many unpleasant experiences at the Dentist, I’m so grateful for how quickly they were able to check me in and help me during this time. If you ever have a dental emergency or need any urgent, last-minute dental care, I highly recommend this place!

When I arrived at this practice I wasn’t sure what to think, but all I knew was I had a Dental Emergency and it seemed like they would probably be the right place for me during my time of crisis. Boy did that turn out to be the case! Dr. Mohs was exactly who I needed during this pivotal moment for the future of my mouth. His experience, calm demeanor, fair pricing, and silky dental mitts blessed my emergency that day and I’ve been rocking a pain free smile ever since. Cheers to this great practice and excuse me while I try not to think of new reasons to return again soon!

Dr. Patel and the team at Emergency Denist of Chicago were INCREDIBLE! I had an emergency with my wisdom tooth, and they were able to see me on the same day, which was also a Sunday. This was my first tooth extraction, but the team was so warm, friendly, and they talked me through the process with positive attitudes and a lot of care. I highly recommend visiting them for your needs because they couldn't have been nicer!
