Wisdom tooth extraction is a standard dental procedure to remove one or more wisdom teeth—the third set of molars at the back of your mouth. These teeth often become impacted or grow at an improper angle, leading to pain, infections, and misalignment of surrounding teeth.
During the procedure, the area around the tooth is made numb to ensure you feel no pain. Then, the tooth is carefully removed using specialized tools. In some cases, we might need to make a small cut in the gum or remove some surrounding bone to make the extraction easier.
Wisdom tooth extraction is ideal for anyone experiencing pain, swelling, or infections due to impacted wisdom teeth. It’s also recommended for patients whose wisdom teeth could cause future dental problems, even if they’re not currently experiencing symptoms.
Most patients experience immediate relief from discomfort after the extraction procedure. The surgical site will continue to heal for several weeks, with noticeable improvement each day.
The results of wisdom tooth extraction are permanent. Once removed, these teeth won’t grow back, providing lasting relief from wisdom tooth-related dental issues.
You can expect some swelling, mild discomfort, and minor bleeding for a few days following the procedure. Patients can usually return to normal activities within 3-5 days, though complete healing takes longer.
Before treatment, follow all pre-operative instructions carefully, including fasting if required for IV sedation, and arrange transportation home. After treatment, stick to soft foods, avoid strenuous activities, follow proper oral hygiene instructions, and take any prescribed medications as directed.
The extraction typically takes about an hour. We thoroughly numb the area and offer IV sedation if chosen. The tooth is carefully removed using specialized techniques, with your comfort as our priority throughout the process.
