Wisdom Tooth Removal

Gentle, Safe & Comfortable Removal at Tooth Junction

Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars that make their appearance much later than the rest — often during early adulthood. While some people never face issues, for many, these teeth don’t grow in the right way or don’t have enough room to emerge at all.

When wisdom teeth grow crooked, partially erupt, or remain trapped under the gums, they can lead to discomfort, infection, and even shifting of other teeth. That’s when removal becomes the wise choice.

At Tooth Junction, we specialize in gentle and efficient wisdom tooth extractions, ensuring your experience is smooth, safe, and stress-free.

When Should You Consider Wisdom Tooth Removal?

Not all wisdom teeth need to be removed. But when they cause problems—or are likely to—you may notice:

  • Dull, throbbing pain at the back of your mouth

  • Gums that feel swollen, tender, or bleed easily

  • Jaw stiffness or difficulty opening your mouth

  • Repeated mouth infections or bad taste

  • Teeth slowly becoming crowded or pushed out of alignment

Even if symptoms are mild, your dentist may recommend preventive extraction to avoid future complications.

How We Remove Wisdom Teeth — The Process

At Tooth Junction, we take a conservative, personalized approach. Every step is explained, and every patient is treated with care:

1. Evaluation & Imaging
We start with a detailed exam and digital X-rays to assess the angle and depth of your wisdom teeth..
2. Comfort First
You’ll receive local anesthesia to numb the area. For nervous patients, we also discuss light sedation options to make the experience easier.
3. Gentle Extraction
Depending on how the tooth is positioned, it may be removed in one piece or sectioned for a smooth extraction. The area is cleaned thoroughly.
4. Healing & Support
We may place dissolvable stitches, and you’ll receive a clear aftercare plan. Swelling is minimal and temporary, and we’re just a call away during recovery.

FAQs

Do I need all my wisdom teeth removed??
Not always. We’ll assess each one. Only the problematic or high-risk ones need extraction.
Is the procedure painful?
Not during the procedure — anesthesia ensures you feel no pain. Some soreness afterward is normal and manageable.
How long is the recovery?
Usually 2–3 days for basic healing, and a week for full comfort. Most people return to work/school the next day.
Can I eat normally??
Stick to soft foods for a couple of days. Gradually return to normal meals as healing progresses.
Will I get stitches?
Sometimes, yes — especially for impacted extractions. We use dissolvable stitches that don't require removal.
How much does it cost?
It depends on whether the tooth is erupted or impacted. We’ll give you a clear cost estimate during your consultation.
