Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth removal is an important preventive treatment that helps protect your long-term oral health. These final molars often do not have enough space to grow properly, which can lead to discomfort, infection, or damage to surrounding teeth. Removing them before problems develop can prevent future complications and support a healthier, more balanced smile.

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last teeth to emerge, usually between ages 17 and 25. For many patients, there is not enough room in the jaw to accommodate these extra teeth, which can cause a variety of problems.

When wisdom teeth are impacted (trapped beneath the gums), grow at an angle, or only partially erupt, they can cause pain, swelling, and infection.

Even if symptoms have not yet appeared, your dentist may recommend early removal to prevent issues later on. Common reasons for extraction include:



• Jaw or gum pain
  
• Swelling or inflammation in the back of the mouth
  
• Overcrowding or shifting of nearby teeth
  
• Signs of impaction visible on X-rays

Removing wisdom teeth helps protect neighbouring teeth, maintain alignment, and prevent future infections or discomfort.

At our clinic, wisdom teeth removal is a straightforward outpatient procedure designed with your safety and comfort in mind. Before treatment, your dentist will review your health history, take digital X-rays to assess the position of your wisdom teeth, and discuss the best approach for your case.

Sedation options such as local anesthesia or nitrous oxide may be used to ensure you remain relaxed throughout the procedure. Once the area is numb, the tooth is carefully removed, and stitches may be placed to aid healing.



With proper care, healing typically occurs within a few days, allowing you to return to your normal routine quickly and comfortably.
