Third molars (wisdom teeth) often don't have enough room to come in properly and can cause pain, infection, or damage the neighboring tooth. We use X-rays to assess whether you need them removed, and how.
Frequently asked questions
That's only confirmed with a panoramic X-ray, which shows the exact position of the wisdom tooth and whether it has room to come in or is trapped in the bone or gum.
The procedure is done under local anesthesia, so you shouldn't feel pain during the extraction. Moderate swelling and discomfort afterward are normal.
A simple extraction recovers in a few days. Surgical removal of an impacted wisdom tooth can take one to two weeks for the discomfort to fully subside.
Not necessarily. It depends on the position of each one and your specific case — it can be done side by side or over several appointments, as we define at your assessment.
