WISDOM TEETH REMOVAL
Most people’s mouths only have enough room for 28 teeth. When your wisdom teeth start to come in, that’s four additional teeth trying to make their way in.
In most situations, this creates a litany of problems, including crowding, soreness, risk of decay in adjacent teeth, risk of infection and the need for extraction.
With radiographs and a thorough examination, we can determine if your wisdom teeth are impacted and need to be removed. Since wisdom teeth rarely come in straight and even with the rest of your smile, we have years of experience analysing and extracting them at The Ackerman Clinic.
Wisdom Teeth Removal Procedure
Before the procedure, we’ll discuss your options of anaesthesia as well as the procedure in full detail, with any risks involved. Our primary goal is to ensure your comfort. We also want our patients to be as informed as possible, so there are no surprises.
Removal of Wisdom teeth could be non-surgical or surgical which is case dependent. Surgical removal will involve a small incision over the gum and minimal removal of overlying bone to ease the tooth out.
This will be followed by placement of dissolvable stitches in the gums, once the procedure is complete.
We’ll then allow you to rest under our supervision and go through all your aftercare instructions in detail. You will also get your detailed instructions in writing to take away with you along with any medication that may be recommended for you. You may or may not need a follow-up appointment.
Our experienced and caring team will take extremely good care of you and ensure you are comfortable throughout.
