We plan wisdom teeth removal with 3D imaging and perform it in our office, with IV sedation available.
Wisdom teeth are the last molars to come in, usually in the late teens or early twenties. Many mouths don’t have room for them. They can grow in sideways, stay stuck under the gum, or sit so far back that brushing can’t reach them.
At SmileCraft Dental, we check wisdom teeth during routine visits. That way we can spot problems early, sometimes before they cause any pain. If yours are healthy and well-positioned, we’ll tell you they can stay.
When removal makes sense, we can usually do it here instead of sending you to an outside surgeon. Since we care for teens and adults alike, parents and their kids can see the same team for everything from cleanings to wisdom teeth.
We’re at the Leander–Cedar Park line, which is convenient for patients from Liberty Hill, Georgetown, Round Rock, and North Austin.
IV sedation delivers relaxing medication through a small line, usually in your arm or hand. It puts you in a deeply relaxed state, and many people remember little of the procedure. If you choose IV sedation, plan to have someone drive you home. Nitrous oxide is also available for lighter relaxation.
At your consultation, we’ll take a CBCT scan and show you exactly where your wisdom teeth sit. We’ll explain whether removal is needed, your sedation options, and what each costs, so we can decide together what fits your personal and financial needs. You’re welcome to go home and think it over.
On the day of your procedure, we’ll get you comfortable and make sure the area is numb before starting, and IV sedation is available if you’ve chosen it. We’ll give you instructions before your appointment.
Afterward, rest, use cold compresses, and stick to soft foods. Follow your care instructions, and call us if pain or swelling increases. Until then, our Comfort Menu offers blankets, headphones, and beverages during your visit.
Many PPO plans help cover wisdom teeth removal. We’re in network with most major PPO plans, and we also offer fee-for-service care. Our front desk will check your benefits and give you a cost estimate beforehand.
Without insurance, our Dental Savings Plan includes two exams, two cleanings, X-rays, and a fluoride treatment each year, plus 30% off most other treatments. It costs $449 a year for an individual. For a family of two adults and two children under 16, it’s $699 a year, and each additional child is $199. It’s a discount plan, not insurance.
You can also apply for financing through Cherry on our website.
SmileCraft Dental is at 1513 E New Hope Dr Ste. A1, Leander, TX 78641, steps from Scheels, where Nebraska Furniture Mart is opening next door.

No. Healthy, well-positioned wisdom teeth that are easy to clean can often stay. Your CBCT scan shows how they’re growing and whether they’re likely to cause problems later. We’ll keep an eye on them at your regular checkups.
Yes. You may feel drowsy afterward, so plan for a responsible adult to drive you home. We’ll go over any other instructions with you before your appointment, so you’ll know how to prepare.
It varies from person to person and depends on how the teeth were positioned. Many people need a few days of rest. Rest, cold compresses, and soft foods can help. Call us if pain or swelling worsens instead of improving.
Call our office, and we’ll see you as soon as we can. Let us know if you have swelling, trouble opening your mouth, or worsening pain so we can understand how urgent it is.
We’ll show you your 3D scan and walk through your options before anything is decided.
