The Wisdom Tooth Process
Removing one or more wisdom teeth requires a thorough examination to determine the appropriate method of extraction – simple or surgical.
If a simple extraction is all that is required, it is because the teeth have partially erupted. After administering local anesthesia, we will use dental elevators to lift each tooth from its socket before gently moving it back and forth. It will then detach, allowing us to apply gauze over the area to minimize bleeding and encourage a blood clot to form.
If surgical extraction is required, a more invasive procedure will be necessary. A small incision will be made within the gums to expose the underlying tooth. It will then be removed in pieces to avoid damaging the bone and ensure a safer, more comfortable extraction process.
