HomeServicesWisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth often need to be pulled because they can become impacted and fail to emerge above the gumline. These molars, that show themselves in people between the ages of 17 and 25, can push the other teeth out of alignment because there may not be enough room for them along the jawline.

Also, because the teeth are in the farthest corners of the mouth, they can be difficult to clean and cause decay and complications if not kept up properly.

You don’t need to live with the discomfort and hurt of problematic wisdom teeth, an oral surgeon can help with removal.

What Happens at an Appointment

The first step is to discuss the procedure at a consultation. X-rays will be taken to get a closer look.

A local anesthetic is used to numb the area for painless wisdom teeth extraction. Sedation options are available to help ease anxiety, if necessary.  After-care instructions will be given and a follow-up appointment scheduled if needed.

If you are experiencing any pain and suspect the wisdom teeth need to be taken out, please call our Thornhill office for questions or to book an appointment at 905-889-0000.
