Wisdom Tooth Removal + PRF

Wisdom teeth are the back molars that typically emerge in the late teens or early twenties, and they don’t always have enough room to come in properly. When wisdom teeth are impacted, partially erupted, or difficult to clean, they can lead to swelling, decay, gum disease, or damage to nearby teeth. Removing wisdom teeth can protect your long-term oral health, help you avoid emergency issues later and can be combined with PRF treatment for a more comfortable recovery.

Benefits: Prevent Problems and Protect Your Smile

Relieves or prevents pain and swelling: Impacted or crowded wisdom teeth can create pressure, inflammation, and jaw discomfort. Removing them can ease current symptoms and help prevent flare-ups. Many patients feel significant relief once the area heals.
Helps prevent infection and gum disease: Partially erupted wisdom teeth often trap food and bacteria under the gum-line. This can lead to painful infections and recurring swelling. Removal helps eliminate a common source of hard-to-control bacteria.
Protects nearby teeth from damage: Wisdom teeth can push against the second molars, increasing the risk of decay, gum loss, or root damage. Taking them out can help protect the health of the teeth beside them. This can reduce the chance of needing more complex dental treatment later.
Reduces crowding and orthodontic complications: When there isn’t enough space, wisdom teeth may contribute to shifting or crowding over time. While every case is different, removal can reduce one potential factor that affects alignment. It’s often recommended for patients who want to protect orthodontic results.
Can prevent future dental emergencies: Wisdom tooth pain often shows up suddenly and can worsen quickly. Removing problematic teeth early can help you avoid urgent infections or severe discomfort down the road. Planned treatment is usually easier than dealing with an emergency.

Process: What to Expect During Wisdom Tooth Removal

Consultation and imaging: We begin with an exam and CBCT imaging to evaluate the position of your wisdom teeth and their roots. This helps us determine whether they are impacted and how complex the removal may be. You’ll get a clear explanation of what we recommend and why.
Comfort planning and anesthesia options: We numb the area thoroughly to keep the appointment comfortable and pain-free. If you feel anxious or the procedure is more involved, we can discuss sedation options to help you relax. Our team will review everything you need to know before treatment begins.
Gentle removal of the wisdom tooth: Once you’re comfortable, we remove the tooth using careful, controlled techniques to minimize trauma to the surrounding tissue. In some cases, the tooth may be removed in sections for a smoother process. We focus on efficiency, safety, and comfort from start to finish.
Site cleaning and stabilization: After the tooth is removed, we clean the area and ensure bleeding is controlled. Stitches may be placed depending on the case and the size of the opening. We’ll also protect the site to support proper clotting and healing.
Aftercare instructions for a smooth recovery: You’ll receive clear guidance on pain control, swelling reduction, and what to eat and avoid. We’ll explain how to prevent complications like dry socket and what normal healing looks like day by day. If you ever feel unsure during recovery, we’re here to help.
Follow-up and long-term monitoring: If a follow-up visit is needed, we’ll check healing and remove stitches if applicable. We’ll also answer questions about returning to normal eating, exercise, and oral hygiene. Our goal is comfortable healing and a confident return to daily life.
