The Wisdom Tooth Extraction Process
During your consultation, our dentist will perform a thorough examination of your mouth to determine whether your tooth requires extraction. Additionally, they will take x-rays to gain a more comprehensive overview of your situation.
Our team can also discuss various sedation methods with you to ensure adequate pain management and comfort during the procedure. These methods include inhalation sedation (happy gas) or IV sedation. We are also happy to answer any questions you may have along the way.
The extraction process will take between 30 – 60 minutes to complete, depending on how many wisdom teeth require removal, as well as the complexity of the case. Stitches may be placed to re-seal the gum and antibiotics or pain killers may also be prescribed. Our team will then monitor your progress following the procedure.
