What the Procedure Entails
At Greenwoods Dental, our experienced dentists and oral surgeons are skilled in wisdom tooth removal. The process starts with an oral exam and x-rays to assess your situation and create a personalized treatment plan.
Once we’ve reviewed your case, we’ll administer anesthesia to numb the treatment area and ensure you’re comfortable. For patients who feel anxious, we offer sedation dentistry to help you relax during the procedure. We’ll discuss the best sedation option for you based on your medical history and preferences before starting.
To remove the tooth, we’ll make a small incision in the gum tissue. If the tooth is difficult to remove, it may be broken into smaller pieces. We’ll then use dental tools to carefully loosen and remove the tooth. After the extraction, we’ll clean the area and close it with stitches. You’ll be given a gauze pad to manage any bleeding. Before you leave, we’ll provide clear aftercare instructions to help you recover smoothly. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to ask—we’re here to help.
