What Is Wisdom Tooth Removal?
Wisdom tooth removal is a common oral surgery procedure performed to extract one or more of the third molars — also known as wisdom teeth — that often cause problems such as pain, crowding, or infection when they emerge improperly. At Mobile Oral and Facial Surgery, board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons Dr. Christopher Mullenix and Dr. Aaron Wallender offer safe, efficient wisdom tooth extractions using advanced techniques and sedation options to ensure a comfortable experience. Whether your wisdom teeth are impacted or simply causing discomfort, we can provide personalized care from consultation through recovery to protect your oral health and prevent future complications. Contact our office in Mobile, AL to learn more.
How Are Wisdom Teeth Removed?
Wisdom teeth are typically removed through a minor surgical procedure performed by one of our oral surgeons, often under some form of sedation for comfort. The process begins with a consultation and imaging, followed by the procedure itself, which usually takes about 45 – 60 minutes, depending on the number and position of the teeth. During the surgery, a small incision may be made in the gum to access impacted teeth, and the teeth might be sectioned for easier removal. After removal, stitches may be placed, and patients are given detailed aftercare instructions to support healing and manage discomfort.

Dr. Mullenix and his entire staff was great. I had 4 wisdom teeth removed and I experienced no pain at all and the procedure was quick. Dr. Mullenix even called me several hours after my procedure for a follow up. Best in the business!
I am most definitely satisfied. The Dentist personally called me later that same day after the tooth extraction to see how I was doing.Five Gold Stars ⭐️

Very pleased with Dr. Mullinax. His care and concern for his patients is over the top. My son had his wisdom teeth removed. He has had minimal to no pain and virtually no swelling. The personal after hours phone call to check on my son reassured me why he is the best in Mobile. This is the kind of care and attention that professionals exhibit.
