Third molars out, without the referral runaround.
Wisdom teeth removal in the Columbia, SC area doesn't need a referral runaround. Todays Dental @ Cayce handles both simple and impacted wisdom tooth extractions in-house, with sedation options and pricing you'll know before the appointment — and we usually schedule removal within days, not months.
Wisdom teeth (third molars) usually appear between ages 17 and 25 — and for most people, there simply isn't room for them.
Not every wisdom tooth needs surgery. A tooth that has fully erupted can often be removed like any other — quick, with local anesthesia only.
An impacted tooth — one stuck under the gum or angled into the neighboring molar — needs a surgical approach: a small gum opening, sometimes sectioning the tooth, and a stitch or two. We assess all four wisdom teeth at one consult and tell you exactly which category each falls into.
Many simple extractions need only local anesthesia — you're numb, comfortable, and driving yourself home afterward.
For impacted teeth, multiple extractions, or plain nerves, sedation options are available. We'll walk you through what each feels like, what it costs, and what to expect so there are no surprises on the day.
Wisdom tooth extraction cost depends mostly on impaction — a fully erupted tooth costs less than one that needs surgical removal.
We quote per tooth, up front, before anything is scheduled, and we verify your insurance first so you know your actual out-of-pocket. No insurance? Transparent cash pricing plus financing through Cherry, Sunbit, and CareCredit.

Often yes — one appointment means one recovery instead of two. But we assess each tooth individually at your consult; if some can safely stay, we'll tell you.
Sedation options are available for impacted teeth or anxious patients, but many simple extractions need only local anesthesia. We'll review the options and costs with you before the appointment.
Most patients return to work or school in 2-3 days. Soft tissue heals in about 1-2 weeks, with swelling peaking around day 2 and fading from there.
Dry socket happens when the healing blood clot dislodges from the extraction site, exposing bone and delaying healing. Avoiding straws, smoking, and vigorous rinsing for the first few days prevents most cases — we give you a simple prevention protocol before you leave.
We review your benefits up front and lay out every option in plain language — so cost is never the reason care gets delayed.
We work with most major providers, plus Medicaid and Medicare for adults and children.
