About This Treatment
Wisdom teeth (third molars) often don't have enough room to erupt properly, leading to impaction, crowding, or infection. Dr. Arun evaluates the position of your wisdom teeth using imaging and recommends extraction when needed to prevent pain, damage to neighboring teeth, or infection — using careful surgical technique to keep the procedure as comfortable as possible.
How the Treatment Process Works
X-ray Evaluation
Imaging determines the position, angle and impaction status of the wisdom teeth.
Anesthesia
Local anesthesia, with sedation if needed, ensures a comfortable procedure.
Extraction
The tooth is carefully removed, with minimal impact on surrounding tissue.
Site Care
The extraction site is cleaned and, if needed, sutured for optimal healing.
Recovery Guidance
Clear aftercare instructions help manage swelling and support fast healing.
Benefits
- Prevents pain, infection and damage to neighboring teeth
- Reduces risk of crowding and shifting in the rest of the mouth
- Addresses cysts or other complications linked to impacted teeth
- Performed with modern, minimally traumatic surgical technique
Things to Consider
- Mild swelling and discomfort for a few days is normal
- Soft-food diet is recommended during initial recovery
- Not all wisdom teeth need removal — some erupt without issue
Separating Fact From Fiction
Myth: All wisdom teeth must be removed.
Fact: Only wisdom teeth that are impacted, misaligned, or causing problems typically need extraction — some erupt healthily and can stay.
Myth: Recovery always takes weeks.
Fact: Most patients recover within a few days to a week, depending on the complexity of the extraction.
