Wisdom Tooth Surgery Specialist
Expert surgical removal of impacted wisdom teeth with minimal discomfort and quick recovery
Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Wisdom tooth surgery involves the removal of one or more third molars that typically emerge in late teens or early twenties. When these teeth don't have sufficient space to develop properly, they can become impacted, causing pain, infection, crowding, and other dental complications that necessitate professional surgical removal.
Our Surgical Approach
Our expert oral surgeons perform wisdom tooth extraction using advanced techniques and technology. The procedure begins with comprehensive examination and 3D imaging to assess tooth position and plan the optimal surgical approach. We use local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia to ensure complete comfort throughout the procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How long does recovery take after wisdom tooth surgery?
- Most patients recover within 3-7 days, with complete healing occurring over several weeks. The initial recovery period involves managing swelling and discomfort, followed by gradual return to normal activities. We provide detailed post-operative instructions to ensure optimal healing.
- Is wisdom tooth extraction painful?
- During the procedure, anesthesia ensures you feel no pain. Post-surgery discomfort is normal but manageable with prescribed medication. Most patients report minimal pain that decreases significantly within 2-3 days. Our advanced techniques minimize tissue trauma for quicker recovery.
- At what age should wisdom teeth be removed?
- The ideal time is typically between ages 17-25 when the roots are not fully developed, making extraction easier with faster recovery. However, wisdom teeth can be removed at any age if they cause problems. Early evaluation allows for proactive treatment planning.
