🦷 Wisdom Tooth Removal

expert care for impacted and problematic third molars

At Vriksha Dental Care & Implant Centre, we specialize in wisdom tooth removal (third molar extraction) to prevent and resolve issues caused by these late-emerging teeth. Wisdom teeth typically appear between ages 17 and 25, and often lack sufficient space to erupt properly, leading to impaction, pain, and oral health complications.

Impacted wisdom teeth can cause crowding, damage to adjacent teeth, infections, cysts, and even bone loss. Even when they emerge, their position at the back of the mouth makes them difficult to clean, increasing the risk of decay and gum disease. Our comprehensive evaluation helps determine the best timing and approach for removal.

Before recommending extraction, we perform a thorough examination including panoramic X-rays or 3D imaging to assess the position, root development, and relationship to nearby nerves and sinuses. This allows us to plan the procedure with precision and anticipate any complexities.

Wisdom tooth removal is typically performed under local anesthesia, with sedation options available for anxious patients. The procedure involves creating a small incision if needed, gently removing the tooth, and placing sutures to promote healing. We prioritize your comfort throughout and provide detailed aftercare instructions for a smooth recovery.

Wisdom tooth removal may be recommended for

• Impacted teeth causing pain or crowding
• Infection or gum disease around partially erupted teeth
• Damage to adjacent teeth or bone
• Cyst or tumor development (rare but serious)
• Preventive removal before orthodontic treatment

The wisdom tooth removal procedure

On the day of your procedure, we ensure you are completely comfortable with anesthesia. For simple extractions, the tooth is gently loosened and removed. Surgical extractions involve a small incision in the gum to access the tooth, which may be sectioned into smaller pieces for easier removal. The area is then cleaned, and sutures are placed if necessary.

After the procedure, we provide comprehensive aftercare instructions including pain management, diet modifications, and oral hygiene. Most patients recover within a few days to a week. We schedule a follow-up visit to monitor healing and remove sutures if needed. Early removal (typically in late teens or early twenties) often leads to easier recovery.
