What Is Wisdom Tooth Extraction?
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last set of teeth at the back of your mouth. They occur between ages 17 and 25, but they can also cause issues such as impaction, infection, or misalignment of adjacent teeth. Wisdom tooth extraction is a routine dental procedure in which these teeth are safely removed to prevent or address complications.
At Dental Creations, we take a tailored approach to wisdom tooth extractions, ensuring that each procedure is performed according to your specific needs and comfort level.
When Do You Need Wisdom Tooth Extraction?
Not everyone needs to have their wisdom teeth removed, but there are several common reasons why extraction might be necessary:
Impacted Teeth
When wisdom teeth don’t have enough room to emerge properly, they can become trapped beneath the gum line, leading to pain, swelling, and infection.
Infection or Decay
Wisdom teeth are located at the back of your mouth, making them difficult to clean properly. This can lead to tooth decay, gum disease, or infections.
Misalignment
If your wisdom teeth are crowding your other teeth or causing bite issues, extraction may be recommended to preserve the alignment of your smile.
Cysts or Tumors
In rare cases, impacted wisdom teeth can form cysts or lead to the growth of benign tumors, which can damage nearby teeth and bone.
The Wisdom Tooth Extraction Process
Initial Consultation
Your journey to wisdom tooth extraction starts with a thorough consultation. During this visit, we’ll take X-rays to assess the position of your wisdom teeth and determine the best course of action. Our dentist will also discuss your medical history and address any concerns you may have about the procedure.
The Extraction Procedure
We understand that the idea of having a tooth removed can be worrying. Rest assured, the procedure is simple and usually done under local anaesthesia to numb the area. In complex cases, it can be done under conscious sedation.
The extraction itself involves carefully removing the wisdom tooth and, if necessary, suturing the area to promote healing. The procedure typically takes about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the complexity.
Post-Extraction Care
After extraction, we provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth, speedy recovery. This includes recommendations on managing swelling, pain, and bleeding, as well as tips on maintaining good oral hygiene during the healing process. Most patients can return to normal activities within a few days, although some swelling and discomfort may persist for a few days after the procedure.
If you’re dealing with wisdom teeth issues or have concerns about your oral health, our experienced team is dedicated to making your wisdom tooth extraction as comfortable as possible, ensuring a smooth procedure and quick recovery.

FAQs
Is wisdom tooth extraction painful?
With local anesthesia or sedation, you won’t feel any pain during the procedure. Afterward, some swelling and discomfort are normal, but we provide pain management recommendations to help you recover quickly.
How long is the recovery time after wisdom tooth extraction?
Most patients recover in a few days, but full recovery can take up to 1-2 weeks. We recommend taking it easy during the initial healing period and following our post-care instructions closely.
Will I need sedation for the extraction?
While local anesthesia is typically sufficient, we offer sedation options for patients who may feel anxious or for more complex extractions.
Can I eat after wisdom tooth extraction?
We recommend sticking to soft foods for the first few days and avoiding hot or spicy foods. It’s also important to stay hydrated and avoid sucking motions that could dislodge the blood clot.
