Wisdom Teeth Removal at K&R Dental
At K&R Dental, we commonly perform extractions that are easy on our patients, with minimal discomfort and great efficiency. Additionally, we offer wisdom teeth extractions to precisely, gently extract wisdom teeth when needed. We pride ourselves on accurate, reliable extraction. If you have a more complex case, we’ll be happy to refer you to a specialist to have the procedure completed.
A Comfortable Experience
You’ll be under local anaesthetic during your procedure to minimise any discomfort. With an extraction completed in-chair, you’ll have a quicker recovery than you’d experience if it was performed in hospital under general anaesthetic. You’ll be ready to return to your daily activities within four days, sometimes less.
Why Remove Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth are usually the last to erupt, showing up in your late teens or early twenties. During this time, they may need to be extracted for several reasons, such as:
- Gums that are irritated or swelling
- Pain or discomfort
- Tooth decay
- Unable to erupt due to surrounding teeth
What to Expect for Wisdom Teeth Removal
At your initial consultation, our dental professionals may take X-rays or use other diagnostic tools to gain an overview of your wisdom teeth. You will discuss the entire procedure from start to finish before it begins so that you feel confident each step of the way. Every question you have will be answered, too.
Your wisdom teeth will be removed, and the area closed with stitches that dissolve so that you won’t need to return to have them taken out. The length of the visit will depend on how many teeth you’re having extracted and how complicated the extraction is. Generally, you can count on being here for 30-60 minutes.
