SAFE WISDOM TOOTH REMOVAL

Wisdom tooth extraction refers to a procedure wherein one or multiple wisdom teeth are extracted. Wisdom teeth (also known as third molars) typically appear between the ages of 17-25 and are the last teeth to erupt, although not everyone will develop wisdom teeth. For those who do develop wisdom teeth, an extraction will typically be required when the tooth or teeth become impacted, which can cause pain and increase the risk of additional issues developing. The extraction can be performed by either a dentist or oral surgeon. At Lake Norman Oral & Facial Surgery, we offer a full range of oral and maxillofacial surgical Wisdom Teeth Extractions, specializing in facial reconstruction, facial surgery, corrective jaw surgery, obstructive sleep apnea, and wisdom tooth removal. If you would like to learn more about our services, or schedule an appointment for wisdom teeth extractions, contact us today.

Words cannot express enough, how wonderful, caring and professional Dr. Haigney and his staff are! After being rushed to the Huntersville hospital with an orbital fracture, broken nose and other facial damage, Dr. Haigney rushed me into surgery (on his day off I must add) and corrected all my problems. I only wish all doctors cared as much about their patients and their recovery as Dr. Haigney and his staff did. Thank you so much for everything! Your attention and compassion has helped me make my recovery as comfortable as possible. 5 star service!
