At Miami Village Dental, we understand that wisdom teeth can often cause complications as they develop. To ensure you receive the best care, we work closely with a visiting oral surgeon who specialises in the removal of wisdom teeth. Whether your wisdom teeth are impacted, causing pain, or at risk of infection, our team is here to provide professional and comfortable treatment.
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last teeth to erupt, usually appearing in your late teens or early twenties. In many cases, there is not enough room in the mouth for these teeth to emerge properly, leading to various complications such as:
Impaction: Wisdom teeth that don’t have enough space to emerge can become trapped under the gum or grow at an angle.
Crowding: When wisdom teeth push against neighbouring teeth, they can cause crowding or misalignment.
Infection or Decay: Partially
erupted wisdom teeth are prone to infections and decay due to their hard-to-reach location.
Cysts or Damage to Jawbone: In some cases, impacted wisdom teeth can develop cysts, leading to damage in the surrounding bone or teeth.
Before recommending extraction, our experienced dentists will conduct a thorough examination, including X-rays, to determine the position of your wisdom teeth and whether removal is necessary. If extraction is recommended, our visiting oral surgeon will handle the procedure, ensuring you are in expert hands.
For your comfort, we offer a range of sedation options during wisdom teeth extraction. Local anaesthesia will numb the area, and sedation options such as IV sedation or general anaesthesia are available depending on the complexity of your case and your comfort needs.
Simple Extraction: If the wisdom tooth has fully erupted, a simple extraction may be performed, where the tooth is gently removed using forceps.
Surgical Extraction: For impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth, a surgical extraction is required. The oral surgeon will make a small incision in the gum to access the tooth, and it may be necessary to remove some bone or cut the tooth into smaller sections for easier removal.
Once the teeth are removed, the oral surgeon will place gauze over the extraction sites to control bleeding. You’ll receive detailed post-operative care instructions to manage swelling, discomfort, and ensure proper healing.
Removing impacted or problematic wisdom teeth prevents painful infections and long-term damage to surrounding teeth and bone.
Extracting wisdom teeth before they cause crowding or shifting can help preserve the alignment of your other teeth.
Removing wisdom teeth eliminates the risk of decay and gum disease that often arises when these teeth are difficult to clean.
Our visiting oral surgeon is highly skilled in performing complex wisdom teeth extractions, ensuring a smooth and comfortable procedure.
From diagnosis to aftercare, we offer a full range of services to make your wisdom teeth removal as stress-free as possible.
We prioritize your comfort with a range of anesthesia and sedation options tailored to your needs.
Our use of state-of-the-art imaging technology ensures accurate diagnosis and precise treatment.
With modern anaesthesia and sedation options, wisdom teeth extraction is typically painless. Post-operative discomfort can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and cold compresses.
Most patients recover within a week. Swelling and discomfort are common for the first few days but should subside gradually. Following post-operative care instructions will help speed up recovery.
Stick to soft foods such as soups, yogurt, mashed potatoes, and smoothies for the first few days. Avoid hard, crunchy, or spicy foods that could irritate the extraction sites.
It’s recommended to rest for at least 2-3 days after surgery. Most patients are able to return to their normal activities within a week, but it depends on the complexity of the extraction and your personal healing process.
Leaving impacted or problematic wisdom teeth in place can lead to infections, cysts, damage to surrounding teeth, and crowding. Early removal can prevent these complications.
Pain can typically be managed with prescribed pain relievers or over-the-counter medications. Swelling can be reduced by applying cold compresses to the affected area and keeping your head elevated.
