What Is Wisdom Teeth Removal?
Wisdom teeth removal is the extraction of the third molars, the last teeth to come in, usually during the late teens or early twenties. Because there's often not enough room for them, they can become impacted, crowded, or infected. Removing problem wisdom teeth, often before they fully erupt, helps prevent pain, crowding, and damage to neighboring teeth. At Lava Dental, we perform wisdom teeth removal gently and comfortably, with sedation available for a stress-free experience.
The Benefits of Wisdom Teeth Removal
Pain Relief
Removing impacted or infected wisdom teeth relieves the aching, pressure, and discomfort they often cause.
Prevents Crowding
Taking out wisdom teeth before they push on their neighbors helps protect the alignment of your other teeth.
Stops Infection
Wisdom teeth are hard to clean and prone to infection, and removing them eliminates that ongoing risk.
Easier Recovery
Removing wisdom teeth earlier, before the roots fully form, often means a simpler procedure and faster healing.

When Do You Need Wisdom Teeth Removal in Houston, TX?
Notice any of these? Schedule a visit. Early care is easier care.
Jaw Pain
Aching or pressure at the back of your jaw is a common sign that your wisdom teeth may need to come out.
Impacted Teeth
Wisdom teeth trapped under the gum or bone can cause pain and infection and often need removal.
Crowding
When wisdom teeth push against neighboring teeth, removal helps protect your bite and alignment.
Recurring Infection
Swelling, tenderness, or repeated infection around a wisdom tooth is a strong reason to have it removed.

I had a terrible tooth pain that was unbearable. I called many places and found Lava Dental on my browser. It was late in the day and they fit me in for a same day appointment. The staff were super friendly and listened to my concerns. I was seen immediately and explained in detail on what I had and the solutions. Dr. Ebrahimi was super gentle and fast. She's a true master of her profession. I was in and out quickly. I had a wisdom tooth removed; it was quick and, most importantly, painless. I want to thank Sylvia, Orlando, and Dr. Ebrahimi for their prompt assistance and warm hospitality. They were able to quickly provide a painless resolution to my problem. I would highly recommend this dental office.
So far, my experience with Lava Dental has been great. I arrived feeling nervous and anxious about my teeth, but the staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly, which immediately put me at ease. I had an extraction done, and the process was quick and far less unpleasant than I expected.
Amazing Doctor took care of my fillings and extraction in less than 45 min - Friendly staff - front desk Sylvia & Jocelyn were very helpful.

They are really good. Friendly helpful staff! It's definitely a family vibe. You can tell they care about their patients. I've gotten my teeth cleaned & my wisdom teeth pulled so far. & it's been a good experience. I'll be recommending more people here.
I just love Nova Dental and the service is world class. From the front to the back the are so nice. Venessa greets you with a smile and always ask how I am doing. Stephanie explains exactly what my insurance covers and help me schedule to get all my services done so I have 0 or minimum out of pocket. Ryan and Jackie the dental staff make sure I am comfort and let me know every step that the doctor will be doing. Taking X-ray, anesthesia, just all has been so good. Dr. Balai is truly the best.

I had an amazing experience at Lava Dental! From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming. They took the time to answer all of my questions and never made me feel rushed. I brought all of my children, and two of my children have special needs, so it means a lot to me when a dental office takes the time to understand their individual needs and makes them feel comfortable. Lava Dental did exactly that! They were patient, gentle, caring, and very detailed with each of my children. They treated every child with kindness and made sure they understood what was happening. I truly appreciate the time, patience, and compassion the entire team showed my family. They made what can sometimes be a stressful experience feel comfortable and positive. Thank you, Lava Dental, for taking such great care of my children and making us feel welcomed and valued. We truly appreciate you! ❤️🦷

If you're looking for a skilled, honest, and caring dentist, I highly recommend Dr. Balaei
