Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Wisdom teeth can be extracted before or after they begin to emerge in the mouth. Prior to eruption, the position of wisdom teeth is assessed using panoramic X-rays. Extraction is recommended if the teeth are predicted to be impacted, misaligned, or pose a risk of complications. After the wisdom teeth have partially emerged or fully erupted, patients can undergo extraction. It is advisable to extract wisdom teeth before they become inflamed. If there is pain, swelling, or inflammation, the dentist may prescribe medication before the extraction.

The fear and anxiety regarding wisdom tooth extraction are common concerns. However, we ensure complete numbness of the area through local anesthesia to eliminate pain during the extraction procedure. The duration of the extraction process varies, typically lasting between 10 to 30 minutes depending on the complexity. After extraction, patients may experience swelling, which typically subsides within 5-7 days. The dentist will consider the specific case and may prescribe post-treatment medications to minimize swelling, pain, and the risk of infection.

We understand that the prospect of wisdom tooth extraction can be daunting, but our commitment to patient comfort and the use of effective anesthetics aim to make the experience as painless as possible. We also offer a post-operation room for relaxing and calming after the treatments.
