Safe & Painless Extraction
Impacted wisdom teeth can cause severe pain, swelling, and damage to adjacent teeth if they do not have enough room to emerge naturally. Our expert oral surgeons perform highly precise disimpaction surgeries under local anesthesia, ensuring maximum comfort and a rapid recovery time.
Treatment Details
The Process
- Radiographic Evaluation: A detailed X-ray or OPG is taken to determine the exact position, angle, and root structure of the impacted tooth.
- Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to completely numb the extraction site and surrounding tissues.
- Surgical Access: If the tooth is impacted under the gums, a small incision is made. A minor amount of bone may be removed to free the tooth.
- Extraction: The tooth is often sectioned into smaller pieces for a smoother, less traumatic removal.
- Closure: The site is cleaned, and self-dissolving sutures are placed to promote rapid healing.
Advantages
- Eliminates chronic pain, swelling, and recurrent gum infections (pericoronitis).
- Prevents shifting and damage to adjacent healthy molars.
- Averts the potential formation of cysts around the impacted tooth.
Disadvantages
- Post-operative swelling, minor bleeding, and discomfort are common for a few days.
- Requires a strict soft-diet and specific aftercare protocol during the initial healing phase.
Durability
This is a permanent procedure. Once an adult wisdom tooth is surgically extracted, it does not grow back, and the associated complications are resolved permanently.
