Oral surgery · 3D-planned
Wisdom teeth removal in Houston, planned in 3D.
Know the Signs
When should you remove wisdom teeth?
Impaction
Teeth grow at an angle and cannot erupt properly.
Crowding
Shifting of your existing healthy teeth.
Pain or Swelling
Persistent discomfort at the back of the jaw.
Cyst Formation
Potential damage to the jawbone or roots.
Why Experience Matters
Experienced, gentle wisdom tooth surgery
At Texas Dental Center, we understand that the prospect of oral surgery can be intimidating. Under the leadership of Amir Mofid, DDS, our team focuses on providing a comfortable, safe environment for wisdom teeth removal.
By utilizing 3D Cone Beam (CBCT) Imaging, we map out the exact position of your teeth and nerves before the procedure — so the extraction can be planned around them.
Impacted Wisdom Teeth
Understanding Impaction Types and Risks
When a wisdom tooth is "impacted," it lacks space to grow. This often causes pain, shifts surrounding teeth, and creates pockets for infection or cyst formation. We use advanced mapping to categorize impactions — whether Mesial (angled forward), Distal (angled backward), Vertical (straight but trapped), or Horizontal (fully sideways) — to build a precise, low-trauma surgical plan.
3D CT Scan Dentistry
Why We Use 3D CBCT Imaging
Unlike a traditional 2D X-ray, a 3D CBCT scan creates a rotatable, high-definition model of your jawbone, teeth and nerves. For wisdom teeth this matters: it shows the path of the inferior alveolar nerve and the exact root shape, which helps us plan a gentler surgery, lower the risk of complications and set realistic recovery expectations.
- Higher accuracy and a personalized surgical roadmap — with the scan taken only when it adds real value.
Our High-Tech Approach
Precision Technology for Safer Wisdom Teeth Removal
Precision Diagnostics
Our 3D CBCT imaging shows roots, nerves and bone in detail, so your extraction can be planned carefully.
Sedation Options
Laughing gas or IV sedation (adults) can help you relax, after a review of your medical history.
Imaging & Care in One Office
Imaging, surgery and follow-up visits happen in the same office.
How it works
Your wisdom teeth visit, step by step.
- 1
Consultation & 3D scan
We examine the area and, when needed, take a 3D CBCT scan to see each tooth, its roots and the nearby nerve.
- 2
Plan, sedation & cost
You choose a sedation option and get a written estimate before surgery. Most PPO plans help cover extractions.
- 3
Surgery day
The area is fully numbed; with sedation most patients remember little. Teeth are removed in sections when needed.
- 4
Recovery support
You go home with written aftercare instructions. Most patients are back to normal activities within 3–5 days.

Like any surgery, this treatment has risks, including pain, swelling, bleeding, infection, nerve injury that can cause numbness, sinus problems with upper teeth and, for implants, implant failure.
