Wisdom teeth removal is a common procedure that addresses problems associated with the late eruption of third molars, which often lack sufficient space to emerge properly. Maitland Square Dentistry specializes in the removal of wisdom teeth, including those that are impacted, to prevent potential complications and maintain oral health.
Impacted wisdom teeth occur when these third molars fail to fully emerge through the gumline and become trapped between the jawbone and the gum tissue. This can lead to pain, swelling and infection of the surrounding gum tissue and can also cause damage to adjacent teeth. To prevent these issues, removal of the wisdom teeth is often recommended.
During your consultation, Dr. David Hazan will evaluate your wisdom teeth using digital imaging techniques to determine their position and the extent of impaction. This detailed assessment helps in planning the most effective approach for removal.
The procedure for extracting wisdom teeth typically involves local anesthesia, and sedation options are available to ensure comfort throughout the process. Our dentist will make an incision in the gum tissue to expose the tooth and bone, remove any bone that blocks access to the tooth root and then carefully extract the tooth, sometimes in sections to minimize the impact on surrounding tissues.
Post-operative care is crucial and we will provide detailed instructions on how to manage recovery at home. Our team is dedicated to supporting you through the healing process, ensuring a smooth and swift recovery.
