What is Wisdom Teeth Extraction?
Wisdom teeth extraction is the surgical removal of the third molars, which typically emerge in your late teens or early twenties. While some wisdom teeth can emerge normally, many become impacted (stuck beneath the gums) or emerge at problematic angles, potentially causing pain, infection, and damage to other teeth. Using our advanced 2024 CBCT technology, we can precisely evaluate the position of your wisdom teeth and develop a detailed surgical plan, ensuring the safest and most efficient removal process possible.
How Does the Extraction Process Work?
Your wisdom teeth journey begins with a comprehensive consultation using our state-of-the-art CBCT imaging to visualize the exact position of your wisdom teeth and surrounding structures. For anxious patients, our therapy dog Whiskey can be present during this consultation to help ease any concerns. We’ll review your images together and create a personalized treatment plan.
On the day of surgery, we ensure your complete comfort through IV sedation administered and monitored by Dr. Singh. The procedure typically takes 60-90 minutes, during which Dr. Singh carefully removes the wisdom teeth using precise surgical techniques. Our modern facility is equipped with advanced monitoring equipment for your safety throughout the procedure. After surgery, we provide detailed recovery instructions and schedule follow-up care to ensure proper healing.
