Tooth & Impacted Wisdom-Tooth Extractions

The surgical removal of impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth is one of the most common procedures in oral surgery, performed both to prevent and to address issues that can affect overall oral health.

Why an extraction may be needed

Wisdom teeth often do not have enough room to erupt properly and therefore remain trapped within the bone or beneath the gums. This can cause pain, inflammation, swelling, recurrent infections, difficulty cleaning the area, decay in adjacent teeth, or even shifting of the dentition.

Planning the procedure

Every procedure is preceded by a detailed clinical and radiographic assessment so that the position of the wisdom tooth and its relationship to surrounding anatomical structures are evaluated precisely. This allows the procedure to be tailored to the individual, offering greater safety, accuracy, and predictability. The operation is carried out under local anaesthesia using modern surgical techniques that significantly reduce patient discomfort and support faster healing.

Aftercare

After the extraction, detailed post-operative instructions are provided to minimize pain and swelling and to support smooth recovery. In most cases, the return to daily activities is quick, and the timely treatment of impacted wisdom teeth helps avoid more complex problems in the future.
