Relieve pain, prevent crowding, and protect your oral health with expert extraction of impacted or problematic wisdom teeth.
Book Appointment
Wisdom teeth (third molars) are the last set of molars to erupt, typically appearing between the ages of 17 and 25. For many individuals, these teeth do not have enough space to emerge properly, leading to impaction (becoming trapped beneath the gum line), partial eruption, or misalignment.
Wisdom tooth removal is a common oral surgical procedure in which one or more wisdom teeth are extracted to prevent or resolve issues such as pain, infection, crowding, and damage to adjacent teeth. The procedure can be performed under local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia depending on the complexity of the case and patient preference.
Digital X-rays (panoramic or CBCT) to assess the position, angle, and root development of your wisdom teeth.
Discussion of extraction complexity, anesthesia options, and expected recovery timeline before the procedure.
Local anesthesia, nitrous oxide, IV sedation, or general anesthesia — chosen based on case complexity and patient preference.
Careful incision, bone removal if needed, and precise extraction — tooth may be sectioned for easier removal through a smaller opening.
Thorough socket cleaning, dissolvable suture placement, and gauze application to control bleeding and promote clot formation.
Detailed pain management, swelling reduction, diet and activity guidance plus a follow-up for healing review and suture removal.
Removing problematic wisdom teeth is a preventive measure that safeguards your long-term oral health.
Wisdom tooth extraction is typically performed as an outpatient procedure. The experience varies based on complexity and anesthesia type.
Your oral surgeon will review your X-rays, discuss the position of your wisdom teeth, and recommend the appropriate anesthesia option. You will receive pre-operative instructions, including fasting guidelines if sedation or general anesthesia is planned.
On the day of the procedure, anesthesia is administered to ensure your comfort. Local anesthesia numbs the area completely. Sedation options help you relax, while general anesthesia may be used for complex cases or multiple extractions.
For erupted teeth, extraction is similar to a standard tooth removal. For impacted teeth, an incision is made in the gum tissue to expose the tooth. Any bone blocking access is carefully removed. The tooth may be sectioned into smaller pieces for easier removal through a smaller opening.
Once the tooth is removed, the socket is cleaned and sutures are placed to close the incision if needed. Gauze is applied to control bleeding and promote clot formation. You will rest until you are ready to go home.
You will receive detailed aftercare instructions covering pain management, diet restrictions, swelling reduction, and activity limitations. A trusted adult should accompany you if sedation or general anesthesia was used, as you will not be able to drive.
Most patients undergo wisdom tooth extraction in their late teens or early twenties, when the roots are not fully formed and recovery is typically faster.
