Wisdom Teeth Removal in Boston
Careful Third-Molar Extraction in a Periodontist-Led Office
Why Wisdom Teeth Often Need Removal
Third molars frequently cause pain, infection, or damage to neighboring teeth.
Wisdom teeth — the third molars that typically emerge in your late teens or early 20s — often cause problems. They may grow in at an angle (impacted), fail to erupt fully (partial impaction), crowd existing teeth, or develop cysts. Many patients experience pain, infection, or difficulty cleaning around them.rnrnAt Metro Dental, Dr. Fedorenko performs wisdom tooth extractions in our Lexington office — with CBCT 3D planning to map nerve proximity, sedation options for comfort, and a clear post-operative protocol.
Why Remove Wisdom Teeth
- Prevents infection | Partially erupted wisdom teeth trap bacteria and food, leading to chronic infections.
- Relieves pressure | Impacted wisdom teeth push neighboring teeth, causing pain or misalignment.
- Prevents cyst formation | Impacted teeth occasionally develop cysts or tumors — removal eliminates this risk.
- Avoids damage to second molars | Angled wisdom teeth can damage the roots of adjacent teeth.
- CBCT nerve mapping | 3D imaging identifies nerve proximity — reducing risk of numbness complications.
- Sedation available | Oral sedation keeps anxious patients comfortable during longer procedures.
Do You Need Wisdom Teeth Removed?
Pain at the back of your jaw
Often a sign of erupting or impacted wisdom teeth.
Recurring gum infections

Wisdom tooth pressure can undo orthodontic work.
Cyst on imaging

Preventive assessment
Even without symptoms, many patients remove wisdom teeth proactively before problems develop.
Before orthodontic or restorative work
Removal pre-empts future complications with new restorations.
