Tooth Extraction

We perform this important yet routine procedure under local anesthesia, making it completely painless and safe for the patient.

Extraction may be necessary in cases of periodontally compromised teeth, deeply fractured teeth, roots, or impacted and semi-impacted wisdom teeth.

An impacted wisdom tooth refers to one that remains embedded in the jawbone, typically growing in an improper (most often horizontal) position. Regardless of your specific complaints or the type of problematic tooth, we will resolve the issue quickly, gently, and painlessly.

Wisdom tooth extraction is one of the most common dental surgeries.
Of course, that doesn’t make it any more desirable or pleasant for most people.

Many patients ask: How long does recovery take after wisdom tooth extraction?
According to specialists, full recovery can take up to 2 weeks.

The procedure itself is not as scary as it may seem — and it doesn’t hurt. Most often, local anesthesia is used.

Proper and regular care of the wound significantly speeds up the healing process.

Wisdom teeth are the last molars to grow in, located at the very back of the mouth.
They typically start to appear between ages 17 and 25.
For some people, they never erupt at all.
Often, wisdom teeth grow like normal teeth without complications. However, sometimes there’s not enough space for them to erupt properly and in the right position.

Recovery After Wisdom Tooth Removal

In some cases, stitches may be needed to help close the wound. Your dentist will remove them about a week later.

It’s normal to experience bruising, swelling, and mild to moderate pain after surgery. These symptoms usually subside quickly as healing begins.
Recovery is gradual, but you’ll notice improvement day by day.

After the extraction, it may take some time to get used to the new gap.
You were used to brushing that tooth — now it’s gone, and you’ll have one less to clean.

What to Avoid After a Wisdom Tooth Extraction:

• Brushing near the wound
• Rinsing your mouth
• Drinking hot beverages
• Eating chewy or hard foods
• Using straws, smoking, or drinking alcohol — especially during the first 24 hours after the extraction
• Be gentle with brushing, or avoid it entirely for the first 24 hours following the procedure
