Wisdom Tooth Extraction​

Wisdom tooth extraction is a surgical procedure that involves removing one or more wisdom teeth, which are the four permanent adult teeth located at the top and bottom back corners of the mouth.

If a wisdom tooth does not have enough room to grow (impacted wisdom tooth), causing pain, infection, or other dental problems, it is most likely wisdom tooth extraction has to be done.

Wisdom Tooth Extraction can also be done in order to prevent future dental issues

At Citysmile Dental and Aesthetic Clinic, we strive to offer excellent Wisdom Tooth Extraction treatment in India. We perform the procedure with internationally trained professionals. In addition to making the area numb with a local anesthetic, our surgeons recommends sedatives, that allow you to be more comfortable during the procedure.

Wisdom Tooth Extraction Treatment Planning

• Sedation: If you are given nitrous oxide (laughing gas), you will be given a small mask to wear over your nose to allow you to inhale the sedative while remaining awake. 4 If you choose intravenous (IV) sedation, the assistant will insert a needle into a vein in your arm to administer a sedative throughout the procedure. This is generally thought to be the most comfortable option because you will be in and out of consciousness and will not remember the procedure afterward.

• Numbing: After sedation, your surgeon will begin by numbing the wisdom teeth and surrounding tissues with a local anesthetic.

• Tissue removal: To gain access to the wisdom tooth, the surgeon removes any gum tissue covering the area where it is located.

• Bone removal: An impacted wisdom tooth may be completely or partially covered with bone. In this case, a high-speed handpiece is used to drill through and remove the bone that is covering the tooth.

• Loosening and sectioning of the tooth: When the impacted wisdom teeth are visible to the dentist, the dentist will use various surgical instruments to gently loosen them from any connective tissue in the tooth's socket. The surgeon may also cut the tooth into sections to make removal easier.

• Tooth removal: The wisdom tooth is ready to be extracted once it has become loose or has been completely sectioned. The surgeon will use specifically made surgical equipment to completely remove the tooth.

• Stitches: Now that the wisdom teeth have been extracted, the surgeon may use stitches to close the wound. This is sometimes required when impacted wisdom teeth are extracted or when the healthcare provider believes that the patient will heal better with stitches in place.
