Removing wisdom teeth helps protect your smile by preventing overcrowding and misalignment of your other teeth.
Impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth can trap bacteria, increasing the risk of painful infections and gum disease.
Early removal can prevent cysts, decay, and damage to nearby teeth, saving you from more complex treatments later.
Initial Evaluation
A dental exam and X-rays (panoramic or 3D imaging) are used to assess the position of the wisdom teeth and determine if removal is necessary.
Consultation and Treatment Planning
The dentist or oral surgeon explains the procedure, discusses anesthesia or sedation options (local anesthesia, IV sedation, or general anesthesia), and reviews your medical history.
Day of Surgery - Preparation
You’ll arrive with a designated driver if sedation is used. You’ll be prepped for surgery, and anesthesia or sedation is administered to ensure comfort.
Teeth Removal
Simple Extractions(for fully erupted teeth): The tooth is loosened and removed with forceps.
Surgical Extraction (for impacted teeth): An incision is made in the gum, and the tooth may be sectioned into smaller pieces for easier removal.
Stitching & Gauze Placement
The surgical site is cleaned, sutures may be placed, and gauze is applied to control bleeding and promote clotting.
Recovery and Aftercare Instructions
You’ll rest in a recovery area before going home with aftercare instructions, including pain management, swelling control, and dietary guidelines.
Final Zirconia Restoration (4 months post-surgery)
You may have a follow-up appointment to check healing and remove sutures if they’re not dissolvable.
