Wisdom Tooth Extraction (Surgical) – Painless and Safe Procedure

Surgical solution for impacted or problematic third molars.

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, usually emerge between 17-25 years. Sometimes, due to jaw size or teeth alignment, they remain impacted or partially erupted, causing pain, infection, or misalignment of adjacent teeth. Surgical extraction prevents complications and maintains oral health.

      Indications for Wisdom Tooth Extraction

• Fully or partially impacted tooth

• Pain, swelling, or infection in the area

• Pressure on adjacent teeth

• Decay or periodontal issues

• Pre-orthodontic treatment space management

      Treatment Process and Duration

1. Examination & X-ray Analysis (30-45 min):

   • Panoramic X-ray or 3D-CT to evaluate tooth position and surrounding structures.

   • Extraction complexity and method determined.

2. Surgical Procedure (30-90 min):

   • Local anesthesia ensures a painless procedure.

   • Small incision may be made to access the tooth.

   • Tooth may be sectioned and carefully removed if needed.

3. Suturing and Recovery (15-30 min):

   • Sutures applied if necessary.

   • Cold compress and gauze used to control swelling and bleeding.

4. Follow-up (7-10 days):

   • Sutures removed or checked if resorbable.

   • Infection, pain, and bleeding monitored.

   • Oral hygiene and diet instructions provided.
