Trusted Expertise For Seamless Extractions
Wisdom Teeth Extraction Saco, ME
Why They Matter and When to Remove Them
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, usually appear in the late teens or early twenties. While they can sometimes fit well in a healthy, aligned smile, many of us don’t have the extra space for them, which can lead to issues. When wisdom teeth come in at awkward angles, partially erupt, or stay impacted under the gum, they can cause crowding, pain, infections, or even damage nearby teeth.
At Maine Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Center, Dr. Harriman uses advanced imaging and thorough evaluations to carefully assess each case. We only recommend wisdom teeth removal when it’s genuinely needed, helping patients avoid future dental problems and keep their smiles healthy. Our caring team is dedicated to making the extraction process as comfortable and smooth as possible, so you can trust that your patients are in good hands with us.

What to Expect During The Visit
Each extraction starts with a full consultation. Dr. Harriman conducts a detailed exam, including X-rays or 3D imaging, to check the wisdom teeth’s position and spot any potential issues. This personalized approach ensures every extraction plan is tailored to each patient’s needs, addressing all concerns along the way.
We understand dental procedures can feel intimidating. That’s why we offer different sedation options to help patients feel comfortable. From local anesthesia to conscious sedation or general anesthesia for more complex cases, Dr. Harriman helps patients choose what’s best for their comfort and peace of mind.
On the day of the extraction, we make sure patients feel fully prepared and at ease. Using the latest techniques, Dr. Harriman carefully removes wisdom teeth with minimal impact on surrounding tissue. The procedure is typically quick, and we work hard to keep any discomfort to a minimum, both during and after the surgery.
After the extraction, we provide clear, simple aftercare instructions to manage discomfort, maintain oral hygiene, and follow a healing-friendly diet. We also schedule follow-ups to check on recovery and answer any questions, supporting a smooth healing process every step of the way.
Don’t let wisdom teeth issues disrupt your life. When you come to Maine Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Center, Dr. Harriman and our team offer compassionate, pain-free solutions to keep their smiles healthy.
