Wisdom Teeth Extraction (One Visit)

Wisdom Teeth Extraction: One Visit Solution

What Are Wisdom Teeth?

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last set of teeth located at the back of your mouth. These teeth typically appear in late adolescence or early adulthood (usually between the ages of 17 and 25). In some cases, wisdom teeth can become impacted, causing pain, infection, or misalignment of nearby teeth, which may require removal.

Why Do You Need Wisdom Teeth Extraction?

Not all wisdom teeth need to be removed, but if they are impacted, causing pain, infection, or crowding in your mouth, extraction is often necessary. Some of the most common reasons for wisdom teeth extraction include:

• Impaction: When the wisdom teeth do not have enough space to emerge properly, they may remain trapped under the gum, causing pain and swelling.
• Crowding: If there isn’t enough space in the mouth, wisdom teeth can push against other teeth, leading to misalignment or damage.
• Infection or Decay: Wisdom teeth are difficult to clean properly, which can lead to cavities or infection.
• Gum Disease: Impacted wisdom teeth can cause gum infection or inflammation around the affected area.

The One Visit Wisdom Teeth Extraction Process

At our clinic, we offer a one-visit solution for wisdom teeth extraction, designed to minimize recovery time and ensure the procedure is as efficient and comfortable as possible. Here’s what you can expect:

• Consultation: During your initial consultation, we’ll evaluate your oral health and take X-rays to assess the position of your wisdom teeth. Based on this evaluation, we’ll determine if extraction is necessary.
• Anesthesia: The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia to ensure that you are comfortable and pain-free during the extraction. We also offer sedation options if needed for added comfort.
• Extraction: Using advanced techniques and tools, we will carefully remove the wisdom teeth. The procedure is typically quick, taking about 30 to 60 minutes depending on the complexity of the case.
• Post-Procedure Care: Once the extraction is complete, we will provide detailed aftercare instructions, including information on managing swelling, pain, and dietary restrictions to ensure a smooth recovery.

Recovery and Aftercare

After the wisdom teeth extraction, you can expect some swelling, discomfort, or bruising around the extraction site, which is normal and should subside in a few days. Here are some recovery tips:

• Rest: Take it easy for the first few days to allow your body to heal. Avoid strenuous activities.
• Ice Packs: Apply ice packs to your face to reduce swelling and discomfort in the first 24 hours.
• Medication: Follow your dentist’s recommendations for pain management, typically over-the-counter pain relievers or prescribed medication.
• Soft Foods: Stick to a soft-food diet for the first few days to avoid irritating the extraction site.
• Oral Hygiene: Be gentle when brushing your teeth and avoid the extraction site. Rinse your mouth with warm saltwater after the first 24 hours to promote healing.
