Wisdom Teeth Extraction at Smile Studio

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last set of permanent teeth to emerge in the mouth, usually appearing in the late teenage years or early adulthood. Unfortunately, these teeth often do not have enough room to come in properly, leading to painful impaction.

At Smile Studio, we often recommend wisdom teeth extraction to prevent future problems such as infection, tooth decay, and misalignment of adjacent teeth.

The Wisdom Teeth Extraction Process

Before the extraction, our team will thoroughly examine your mouth and take x-rays to determine the position and angulation of the wisdom teeth. This will help us plan the best approach for the extraction.

During the procedure, you will be given local anesthesia to numb the area and keep you comfortable. For patients with severe anxiety or phobia of dental procedures, we also offer sedation options such as nitrous oxide (laughing gas) or oral conscious sedation.

Once you are comfortable, our skilled dentists will make an incision in the gum tissue to access the wisdom teeth. In some cases, the teeth may need to be divided into smaller pieces to facilitate removal. After the teeth are extracted, the gum tissue will be closed with sutures.

Recovery and Aftercare

Following the extraction, it is normal to experience some swelling, soreness, and bruising. We will provide you with post-operative instructions and pain management medications to help you through the recovery process.

It is important to follow the instructions carefully to ensure a smooth recovery. This includes eating soft foods, avoiding strenuous activities, and keeping the extraction site clean.

We will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your recovery and ensure that the extraction site is healing properly.
