Treatment
Impacted Wisdom Tooth
Careful removal of a wisdom tooth that is stuck below the gum or pressing against other teeth.
An impacted wisdom tooth is one that cannot fully come in, often because it is stuck under the gum or angled against a neighboring tooth. Removing it prevents pain, infection, and crowding.
We take images to see the position of the tooth and plan the safest way to remove it. The area is fully numbed, and sedation is available to keep you comfortable throughout.
Removing an impacted wisdom tooth relieves pressure and lowers the risk of infection, damage to nearby teeth, and crowding. Treating it early often makes recovery easier.
