Our Wisdom Tooth Removal Process

Wisdom tooth extraction is a straightforward procedure performed with advanced sedation and numbing options for a stress-free experience.



The Procedure:


  1. Assessment & X-Rays: We assess your wisdom teeth using advanced imaging to determine their position and condition.
  2. Anxiety-Free Extraction: We apply local anesthesia or sedation for your comfort. For impacted teeth, an incision may be made to access and remove the tooth safely.
  3. Site Care: After extraction, we clean the area and place gauze to minimize bleeding. Stitches may be applied, which typically dissolve on their own.
  4. Aftercare Guidance: You’ll receive clear post-op instructions to manage swelling, pain, and recovery for a smooth healing process.

Jaw Damage

Wisdom teeth develop inside a sac within the jawbone. If this sac becomes filled with fluid, it can form a cyst, potentially causing damage to nearby nerves, teeth, and the jawbone.

Gum Inflammation, Cavities and Gum Disease

Located at the back of your mouth, wisdom teeth are difficult to brush and floss effectively. Improper cleaning can cause the surrounding tissue to become inflamed, increasing the risk of cavities and gum disease.

Sinus Issues

When wisdom teeth erupt in the upper jaw, they can exert pressure on the sinuses, leading to discomfort and congestion.
