We utilize advanced digital imaging to evaluate the position and health of your wisdom teeth.

Teeth are carefully removed under local anesthesia with sedation options for relaxation.
Clear aftercare guidance ensures a smooth healing process and minimizes discomfort.
Wisdom teeth, also called third molars, usually emerge between ages 17 and 25. These teeth appear at the back corners of your mouth, but not everyone develops all four. Sometimes, wisdom teeth partially erupt or remain trapped beneath the gums.
Due to limited jaw space, wisdom teeth can become impacted-meaning they press against adjacent teeth or fail to break through the gum properly. This can cause pain, infection, or damage to surrounding teeth if untreated.
At Nova Dental, our Harrisburg team evaluates your wisdom teeth carefully to recommend the best course of action for your oral health.
Not all wisdom teeth require extraction, but we suggest removal if you experience symptoms such as:
Jaw soreness or swelling
Persistent gum irritation or redness
Difficulty cleaning around back molars leading to trapped food
Crowding or shifting of existing teeth
Damage to nearby teeth or nerves
Development of cysts or infections
Cavities on partially erupted wisdom teeth
