Wisdom Tooth Extraction in Groton, MA

Wisdom Tooth Removal in Groton, MA — A Holistic Approach to Comfort & Healing

Wisdom teeth are your final set of molars—and for many people, they cause more problems than they're worth. At Groton Wellness, we specialize in biologic, minimally invasive wisdom tooth extractions that protect your long-term health. Whether your teeth are impacted, infected, or crowding your smile, our integrative team uses 3D CBCT imaging, ozone therapy, and PRF healing to ensure your procedure is safe, comfortable, and biologically sound.

When Should Wisdom Teeth Be Removed?

Symptom / Condition Why Removal Is Recommended
Pain or swelling in the back of the mouth Impacted wisdom teeth may be infected or inflamed, putting pressure on nerves and tissue.
Crowding or shifting of other teeth Wisdom teeth can push nearby teeth out of alignment, especially after orthodontic work.
Difficulty cleaning wisdom teeth Hard-to-reach wisdom teeth trap bacteria and food particles, increasing risk of decay and gum disease.
Damage to adjacent molars An impacted tooth can erode the roots or enamel of the neighboring second molars.
Cysts, tumors, or sinus complications Untreated wisdom teeth can form fluid-filled cysts or lead to sinus congestion and pressure.

What Makes Our Wisdom Tooth Extractions Different?

  • CBCT scan + 3D Visualization to safely map roots, nerves, sinuses, and jaw angles
  • Ozone therapy to disinfect the area naturally—without harsh chemicals
  • PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) from your own blood to speed healing and reduce swelling
  • Conscious or IV sedation for deep relaxation throughout the procedure
  • Biologic post-op care including homeopathics, Red Light Therapy, and lymphatic drainage or Massage

Wisdom Tooth Removal Timeline

  • Before: We review your health history, scan your jaw, and customize a sedation plan.
  • During: You’ll be relaxed and comfortable. The procedure usually takes 30–60 minutes.
  • After: Bite on gauze, rest 24–48 hours, and follow our after-care guide. Swelling peaks around day 2–3.
  • Healing: Tissue closes in about 1 week. Bone remodels over 2–3 months (faster with PRF).

Frequently Asked Questions

Do all wisdom teeth need to be removed?

No—not all wisdom teeth need removal. At Groton Wellness, we only recommend extraction if the teeth are impacted, infected, damaging nearby molars, or causing crowding. We use 3D CBCT imaging + a CBCT Visualization to assess your unique case and offer the most conservative, biologic solution.

What’s the best age to remove wisdom teeth?

Wisdom teeth are often best removed between ages 16–25, when roots are still developing and healing is quicker. However, we treat patients of all ages using safe, biologic methods—including PRF therapy and ozone—to support healing at any stage of life.

Will I be awake during the procedure?

You can choose. We offer general sedation, local anesthetic, nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and IV sedation. Most patients opt for IV sedation, where you remain conscious but deeply relaxed—and won’t remember the procedure afterward.
