Surgical Third Molar Removal (Wisdom Tooth)
Safe & Painless Surgical Third Molar Extraction
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last teeth to erupt, usually between the ages of 17 and 25. In many cases, they do not have enough space to grow properly and become impacted (stuck inside the gum or jawbone), leading to pain, swelling, infection, and damage to nearby teeth.
Surgical third molar removal is a minor oral surgical procedure performed to safely remove impacted or problematic wisdom teeth. At our clinic, we use modern anesthesia techniques, digital X-ray evaluation, and minimally invasive surgical methods to ensure a comfortable and stress-free experience.
Early removal of problematic wisdom teeth prevents repeated infections, crowding of teeth, and long-term jaw complications.
When is Wisdom Tooth Removal Necessary?
Not all wisdom teeth require removal, but when they erupt improperly or remain trapped under the gums, they can create serious oral health issues. Because they are located at the back of the mouth, cleaning them is difficult, increasing the risk of infection and decay.
Wisdom Tooth Removal Procedure & Recovery
Before the procedure, the dentist evaluates your tooth position using digital X-rays to determine the safest removal approach. The surgery is performed under local anesthesia so you will not feel pain during treatment.
