Wisdom teeth & braces

Save the Stem Cells in Wisdom Teeth and Teeth Pulled for Braces

Roughly 10 million wisdom teeth are removed in the U.S. every year, and almost all of them are thrown away. Inside each one is dental pulp rich in living stem cells. If your teen is getting wisdom teeth out, or teeth pulled to make room for braces, CryoTooth lets you save those cells, with no extra procedure.

Why these teeth are worth saving

31 of 40

A rich source

In a dental stem cell banking study, viable stem cells were recovered from 31 of 40 extracted wisdom teeth.

Teeth pulled for braces are an especially clean source

These premolars are usually free of decay and gum disease, and studies show their stem cells stay viable even after months in braces.

Young teeth, strong cells

Stem cells from developing wisdom teeth and teens' premolars are highly active. The earlier they're saved, the more potential they hold.

Versatile cells

In the lab, wisdom tooth stem cells have been turned into many cell types, including beating heart muscle cells, and researchers are studying them for nerve, bone and tooth repair.

How it works

See full kit instructions

  1. Order at least 2 weeks before your appointment

    That way your kit arrives on time. Need it sooner? We can expedite shipping, and we've even overnighted kits when required. (Expedited shipping costs are the client's responsibility.)

  2. Bring it to your oral surgeon, dentist or orthodontist

    They remove the tooth as planned and place it in the kit.

  3. Ship it back the same day

    For the best chance of success, send the kit back the day of the extraction using the included prepaid UPS label. When possible, avoid scheduling extractions right before holidays or long weekends, so your sample can be delivered and processed quickly.

  4. We process and store the cells

    Processed and stored in an FDA-registered, AABB-accredited laboratory.

Already have teeth stored with us?

For returning families: if you or your child already have teeth banked with CryoTooth or Store-A-Tooth, every future collection from that same person is 25% off the total, including additional baby teeth, wisdom teeth and teeth pulled for braces. It's an easy way to save a second set of their own stem cells while they're still young.

How it works: This discount is for people who already have teeth in storage with us. Order your kit as usual, and after successful banking we take 25% off your total on your processing bill, so you pay $200 instead of $400.

Bank Additional Teeth — 25% Off

For oral surgeons and orthodontists

Your patients' extracted teeth hold valuable stem cells. Partnering with CryoTooth adds a meaningful option to a procedure you're already performing.
