Wisdom Tooth Extraction in Regina
Wisdom tooth extractions performed in our clinic.
Wisdom teeth are the last adult molars to come in.They usually appear in your late teens or early twenties. For some people, they erupt without any trouble. But for many, they come in crooked, get stuck below the gumline, or cause pain and discomfort.
If your wisdom teeth are causing pain or pushing on other teeth, extraction may be the best plan. We will walk you through everything so you understand the procedure and aftercare.
This dental service is provided by our experienced general dentists.
Common Reasons for Wisdom Tooth Extraction
There is not enough room for them to erupt properly
They are growing in at an angle or sideways
They are impacted (stuck under the gums or bone)
They are pressing on other teeth or contributing crowding
They have become infected, inflamed, or painful
They are difficult to clean, raising the risk of cavities or gum disease
Even if your wisdom teeth are not causing pain, we might still recommend extraction to prevent future problems.
What The Process Looks Like
Your dentist will start with a full exam and imaging to understand the position of your wisdom teeth and whether they are likely to cause trouble. If extraction is recommended, they will explain exactly what to expect.
Most extractions are done in-office with local anesthesia, and for more complex cases, a referral to the oral surgeons may be discussed. The procedure is completed in a single visit, and your comfort will be ensured throughout.
Healing And Aftercare
You will go home with clear instructions for managing the pain, swelling, and how to keep the area clean. Recovery times vary, we provide guidance to support healing.
