Third molars out before they cause first-rate problems.
Wisdom teeth removal in Austin doesn't have to mean a scary referral and a mystery bill. At our South Austin office we evaluate, extract, and follow up on wisdom teeth in one place — with sedation options for nervous patients, written pricing before anything happens, and a recovery plan that gets most people back to normal in a few days. Whether your wisdom teeth already hurt or your dentist just spotted trouble on an x-ray, call 512-430-4472 and we'll take a look.
Not every wisdom tooth needs to go. If yours are healthy, fully erupted, and easy to clean, we'll tell you to keep them and simply watch them at checkups. These are the signs that yours shouldn't stay:
An erupted wisdom tooth has broken through the gum and usually comes out like any other tooth — a straightforward extraction under local anesthetic.
An impacted wisdom tooth is stuck: under the gum, in the bone, or growing sideways into its neighbor. Impacted teeth need a surgical extraction — a small opening in the gum, sometimes sectioning the tooth to remove it gently. It sounds worse than it feels; you're numb (or sedated) the whole time.
If dental anxiety is the reason your wisdom teeth are still in, we can fix that. Our sedation options include nitrous oxide (laughing gas) that wears off before you leave, and oral sedation that lets anxious patients relax through the whole procedure.
Every extraction starts with thorough local anesthetic either way — sedation is about comfort and calm, not a substitute for numbing.
What you'll pay depends on how many teeth are coming out and whether they're erupted or impacted — a simple extraction costs meaningfully less than a surgical one. We give you a written, itemized quote before scheduling anything.
Most dental insurance covers wisdom tooth extraction, and impacted removals often qualify for higher coverage. No insurance? We offer payment plans through Cherry, Sunbit, and CareCredit — see our financing page.
The one rule that matters most: don't smoke or use straws for at least 72 hours. Suction pulls out the healing clot and causes dry socket — the main source of bad recovery stories.

Call 512-430-4472 →It depends on how many teeth are coming out and whether they're impacted — simple extractions cost less than surgical ones. We quote in writing before treatment, most insurance covers extractions, and payment plans are available.
Most patients are awake but fully numb, with nitrous oxide or oral sedation available if you're anxious. We don't do general anesthesia — the rare case that truly needs it gets an honest referral.
Most people are back to work or school in 3–4 days and eating normally within a week. Full gum healing takes a few weeks; the first 72 hours matter most.
Yes — most patients prefer it: one procedure, one recovery, one bill. If your case is better split into two visits, we'll say so at your consult.
Most dental plans cover extractions, and impacted wisdom teeth often qualify for oral-surgery-level benefits. We verify your exact coverage before you commit to anything.
We review your benefits up front and lay out every option in plain language — so cost is never the reason care gets delayed.
We work with most major providers, plus Medicaid and Medicare for adults and children.
