Wisdom Tooth Extraction Types: Simple, Soft Tissue, or Bony Impaction
Not every wisdom tooth needs the same approach. Dr. Owtad reviews your panoramic X-rays to see exactly how each tooth sits in the jaw, then recommends the extraction type that removes it safely with the easiest possible recovery.
Simple Extraction
A wisdom tooth that has fully broken through the gum can usually be loosened and lifted out in one straightforward visit.
- Quickest appointment type
- Local anesthesia only
- No incision needed
- Fastest recovery time
- Lowest treatment cost
Best for upright, fully visible wisdom teeth with healthy surrounding gum.

When gum tissue covers part of the tooth, Dr. Owtad makes a small opening to access the tooth and remove it cleanly.
- Small, precise incision
- Stops repeated gum flare-ups
- Anti-anxiety medication on request
- Dissolvable stitches when needed
- Smooth, guided recovery
Recommended when a gum flap traps food and causes repeated swelling.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wisdom Teeth Removal
If you're facing wisdom teeth removal, you probably have a few questions. Here are the ones Dr. Owtad hears most often.
How long does wisdom teeth removal take?
Most wisdom teeth removal appointments at Diamondback Dentistry take about 45 to 90 minutes, depending on how many teeth are removed and whether they are impacted. Dr. Owtad reviews your X-rays beforehand and gives you a clear time estimate at your consultation.
Does wisdom teeth removal hurt?
The procedure itself should not hurt. Dr. Owtad thoroughly numbs the area with local anesthesia before starting, and anti-anxiety medication is available on request for nervous patients. Most patients describe pressure rather than pain, and soreness afterward is usually manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers and ice.
How long is recovery after wisdom teeth removal?
Most patients feel back to normal within three to five days, though full healing of the extraction sites can take a few weeks. Swelling typically peaks around day two or three and then fades. Following your aftercare instructions, especially avoiding straws and smoking, helps you heal faster and prevents dry socket.
Do all four wisdom teeth need to be removed at once?
Not always. Some patients have all four removed in a single visit so they only heal once, while others only need one or two taken out. Dr. Owtad reviews your X-rays and recommends the approach that makes sense for your mouth, your schedule, and your budget.
Is wisdom teeth removal covered by insurance?
Most PPO dental plans cover a significant portion of wisdom teeth removal, especially when the teeth are causing pain, infection, or damage to nearby teeth. Diamondback Dentistry accepts most major PPO plans, verifies your benefits before treatment, and files claims directly with your provider.
What happens if I do not remove my wisdom teeth?
If your wisdom teeth are healthy, fully erupted, and easy to clean, they may not need to come out. Problem wisdom teeth, however, tend to get worse over time, leading to crowding, decay, gum infections, and damage to the neighboring molars. Regular exams and X-rays let us monitor them and act before small issues become painful ones.
