Relieve pain and protect your oral health with gentle wisdom tooth extraction at Clio Dental in Houston Heights - comfortable care with a focus on healing and prevention.
Wisdom Tooth Extraction in Houston Heights
Wisdom teeth are the last molars to emerge, usually in your late teens or early twenties — and for many people, there simply isn’t enough room for them to come in correctly. They can become impacted (stuck in the bone or gums), grow at an angle, trap bacteria, or push on neighboring teeth, leading to pain, swelling, infections, or crowding. Removing them early often prevents more serious problems down the road.
At Clio Dental Studio in Houston Heights, Dr. Rouhani uses digital imaging and gentle techniques to plan and perform wisdom tooth extractions with your comfort and safety as the top priority. Whether your case is straightforward or more complex, we focus on minimizing discomfort, protecting surrounding teeth and bone, and guiding you through a smooth, predictable recovery.

How the Wisdom Tooth Extraction Process Works
When wisdom teeth need to come out
Wisdom teeth removal at Clio Dental Studio in Houston Heights relieves pain and prevents future problems when your last molars do not have room to come in properly. Dr. Sanaz Rouhani, DDS, FAGD, maps each tooth with 3D cone beam imaging before treatment, removes it gently with the area fully numbed, and guides you through a smooth recovery.
Not enough room
There is not enough space for the tooth to come in fully.
Partly erupted
The tooth is only partly through the gum and traps food and bacteria.
Growing at an angle
The tooth is impacted, growing sideways or pressing on the tooth next to it.
Pain, swelling or infection
Recurring problems around the back molars.
What happens, step by step
Consultation and exam
Your teeth are checked with digital X-rays or 3D scans to decide the best approach.
Comfort and anesthesia
The area is fully numbed before treatment, and gentle options for anxiety relief are available if you need them.
Precise extraction
Using modern instruments and techniques, the tooth is removed smoothly with as little disruption to the surrounding tissue as possible.
Recovery and aftercare
You go home with clear instructions to keep swelling down and support a comfortable recovery, and the team checks in with you personally.
Why 3D imaging comes first
3D cone beam imaging shows the exact position of each wisdom tooth, its roots, the nearby nerve and the surrounding bone. That detail lets Dr. Rouhani plan the most accurate, minimally invasive approach and protect the teeth and bone around it.
Recovery at home
Most patients return to normal activities within a few days.
Use cold compresses to help with swelling, and take any medication exactly as prescribed.
Stick to soft foods until the area has started to heal.
Typically, avoid drinking through a straw and smoking while the area heals.

Wisdom teeth questions, answered
When should wisdom teeth be removed?
Wisdom teeth usually come in during the late teens or early twenties. Removing problem wisdom teeth early often prevents pain, infection and crowding later on.
Do all wisdom teeth need to be removed?
No. Some grow in straight and healthy. Dr. Rouhani checks yours with digital X-rays or 3D imaging and recommends removal only when there is a reason.
What is an impacted wisdom tooth?
An impacted wisdom tooth is stuck in the bone or gum, or growing at an angle, because there is not enough room for it to come in properly.
Does wisdom tooth removal hurt?
The area is fully numbed before treatment, so you should feel pressure rather than pain. Gentle options for anxiety relief are available if you need them.
How long is recovery?
Most patients return to normal activities within a few days. Cold compresses, prescribed medication and a soft diet help you heal comfortably.
What can I eat after wisdom teeth removal?
Stick to soft foods such as yogurt, soup and mashed potatoes until the area starts to heal, and avoid anything hard, crunchy or very hot.
Does insurance cover wisdom tooth removal?
It is often partly covered. The practice accepts most major PPO plans and gives you a breakdown before treatment. Financing through Cherry, Alphaeon, Sunbit and CareCredit is available.
