Expert Wisdom Teeth Removal: Restore Your Comfort & Oral Health
Are you experiencing discomfort, pain, or swelling due to your wisdom teeth? Or has your dentist recommended their removal as a preventative measure? Our specialized wisdom teeth removal service offers a safe, effective, and compassionate solution to protect your oral health and bring you lasting relief.
What are Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth are the third and final set of molars that typically emerge between the ages of 17 and 25. While some individuals have enough room for them to erupt without issue, many experience problems due to insufficient space in the jaw. This can lead to various complications requiring extraction.
Why Consider Wisdom Teeth Removal?
When wisdom teeth don't have enough room to grow properly, they can cause a range of painful and damaging issues. Prompt removal can prevent these problems and safeguard your long-term oral health.
Common Issues Solved by Removal:
- Impaction: Wisdom teeth can become "impacted," meaning they are trapped beneath the gum line or grow at an awkward angle, pushing against adjacent teeth. This can lead to severe pain, swelling, and damage.
- Pain & Discomfort: Persistent pain in the back of your jaw, headaches, and tenderness are common signs that your wisdom teeth are causing trouble.
- Infection (Pericoronitis): When wisdom teeth only partially emerge, a flap of gum tissue can form over them, trapping food particles and bacteria. This creates an ideal breeding ground for infection, leading to swelling, pain, and difficulty opening your mouth.
- Damage to Adjacent Teeth: Impacted wisdom teeth can put pressure on second molars, potentially causing damage, bone loss, or increasing their susceptibility to decay.
- Cysts & Tumors: In rare cases, a fluid-filled sac (cyst) or tumor can develop around an impacted wisdom tooth, which can damage the jawbone and surrounding teeth if left untreated.
- Crowding & Orthodontic Concerns: Wisdom teeth can exert pressure that shifts other teeth, undoing previous orthodontic work or creating new alignment problems.
- Difficulty Cleaning: Partially erupted wisdom teeth are often hard to reach and clean properly, increasing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
The Benefits of Expert Wisdom Teeth Removal

- Prevention of Future Problems: Avoid potential infections, cysts, damage to surrounding teeth, and orthodontic issues.

Your comfort, safety, and optimal outcome are our top priorities. Our experienced oral surgery team follows a meticulous process:
- Thorough Consultation & Examination:

What to Expect: Your Journey to Relief
- Before Your Procedure:
- Attend your consultation, where we'll discuss the procedure, anesthesia, and answer all your questions.
- Provide your full medical history and current medications.
- Follow any pre-operative instructions, such as fasting (if undergoing sedation).
- Arrange for a responsible adult to drive you home after the procedure if you choose sedation.
- During Your Procedure:
- You will be comfortably numbed or sedated according to your chosen option.
- The extraction itself is typically quick and efficient, ranging from 20 minutes to an hour or more depending on the complexity of your case.
- Our team will monitor your vital signs throughout.
- After Your Procedure (Recovery):
- Rest: Plan to rest for at least 24-48 hours.
- Pain Management: Take prescribed pain medication as directed. Over-the-counter options may also be recommended.
- Swelling: Apply ice packs to your face intermittently for the first 24-48 hours. Swelling usually peaks on day 2-3.
- Bleeding: You'll bite down on gauze pads. Change them as needed. Minor oozing is normal for the first day.
- Diet: Stick to soft foods (yogurt, mashed potatoes, soup, smoothies) for several days. Avoid hot, crunchy, or chewy foods.
- Oral Hygiene: Gently rinse your mouth with warm salt water after the first 24 hours. Avoid vigorous rinsing, spitting, or using straws, as this can dislodge the blood clot (dry socket).
- Activity: Avoid strenuous activity for several days to prevent increased bleeding or discomfort.
- Follow-Up: Keep your follow-up appointment to ensure proper healing.
