Safe & Effective Removal of Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth removal is a common procedure performed to eliminate problematic third molars. These teeth may cause pain, infection, or crowding in your mouth, and removal is necessary to avoid further complications.
There are many wisdom teeth extraction considerations. We use the latest technology to evaluate the position of your wisdom teeth and carefully plan the removal. The process can be simple or surgical depending on the position and condition of the teeth.
Are Wisdom Teeth Causing You Problems?
Wisdom teeth often cause problems because they don’t have enough room to grow properly. Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to infection, pain, or shifting of nearby teeth. Other signs that your wisdom teeth may need to be removed include swelling, jaw pain, or difficulty opening your mouth.
During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your situation and determine the best course of action for you. In some cases, we recommend removal before problems arise to prevent future complications.

6 Steps for Safe Removal
Consultation & X-Rays
We take digital X-rays and examine your wisdom teeth to determine the best approach for removal. We’ll discuss any symptoms or concerns you have to tailor the procedure to your needs.
Anesthesia & Sedation
We apply local anesthesia or offer sedation options based on your preference. This ensures you feel no pain during the procedure and remain relaxed.
Tooth Removal
We carefully extract the wisdom teeth, whether they’re impacted or fully erupted, using advanced tools to minimize discomfort and tissue trauma.
Socket Cleaning & Suturing
After the teeth are removed, we clean the area thoroughly and, if needed, place sutures to help the gums heal properly.
Immediate Bite Protection
We apply gauze to the extraction site to control bleeding and protect the area while the blood clot forms. This is an important step for promoting healing.
Recovery & Follow-Up Care
We schedule a follow-up to check healing, remove sutures if present, and answer any questions. You’ll receive personalized home-care tips to ensure a smooth recovery.
Recovery & Aftercare Tips
After your wisdom teeth are removed, rest for the first 24–48 hours and avoid strenuous activities. Apply ice packs to reduce swelling and follow the recommended schedule for taking pain relievers.
Stick to a soft-food diet and rinse with warm salt water after the first 24 hours to promote healing. Avoid smoking and using straws, as this can dislodge the blood clot and delay healing.
