Wisdom Tooth Removal
Surgical removal of impacted teeth causing pain, infection or crowding, with 3D planning that measures the distance to the nerve.
- Session length
- 30–60 minutes
- Sessions
- 1 session + follow-up
- Afterwards
- Swelling may last 2–3 days
Wisdom teeth stay partly or fully impacted when there is not enough room. Not every impacted tooth needs removing; extraction is advised for pain, recurring infection, decay in the neighbouring tooth or a cyst.
Why 3D planning?
The roots of lower wisdom teeth can lie close to the jaw nerve. A CT scan lets the surgical approach be planned in advance.
Afterwards
On the first day avoid hot drinks, smoking and straws. Swelling peaks on day two, then eases.
How does the treatment go?
- Imaging
A panoramic x-ray and, if needed, a 3D scan measure the distance to the nerve.
- Surgery
The tooth is removed under local anaesthetic and the site is stitched.
- First 48 hours
Cold packs, soft food and prescribed medication.
- Stitch removal
Check-up and stitch removal after 7–10 days.
