Extraction / Wisdom Tooth Extraction

What is Extraction / Wisdom Tooth Extraction?

Extraction, including wisdom tooth extraction, is a dental procedure aimed at removing a problematic tooth from the mouth. Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are often extracted due to issues such as impaction, crowding, or infection. Extraction may also be necessary for teeth damaged by decay, trauma, or orthodontic treatment.

When Should a Person Get Extraction / Wisdom Tooth Extraction Treatment?

A person may need extraction or wisdom tooth extraction treatment under the following circumstances:

Impacted Wisdom Teeth:When wisdom teeth do not have enough room to emerge properly, they may become impacted, leading to pain, infection, and damage to neighboring teeth.
Severe Decay or Damage: Teeth severely affected by decay, trauma, or structural damage may require extraction to prevent further complications and preserve oral health.
Orthodontic Treatment: In some cases, extraction of one or more teeth may be necessary to create space for orthodontic treatment and achieve proper alignment of the remaining teeth.
Infection or Gum Disease: Teeth affected by advanced gum disease or infection may need to be extracted to prevent the spread of infection and preserve overall oral health.

What Happens During Extraction / Wisdom Tooth Extraction Treatment?

The extraction process typically involves the following steps:

Assessment and Planning: The oral surgeon will evaluate the tooth’s condition using X-rays and clinical examination to determine the best approach for extraction. For wisdom teeth, the dentist may assess their position and determine if they need to be surgically removed due to impaction.
Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to numb the area around the tooth, ensuring the patient’s comfort during the procedure. For complex or surgical extractions, sedation may also be used to help the patient relax.
Extraction: Using specialized instruments, the oral surgeon will carefully loosen the tooth from its socket in the jawbone and remove it from the mouth. In the case of impacted wisdom teeth, the dentist may need to make an incision in the gum tissue and remove bone to access the tooth.
Closure and Aftercare:Once the tooth has been extracted, the extraction site is cleaned and may be sutured closed if necessary. The oral surgeon will provide post-operative instructions for proper care of the extraction site, including pain management and guidelines for eating and oral hygiene.

Patient Testimonials

"I have visited the hospital for wisdom teeth extraction due to decay! Extraction went very smoothly with very minimal pain. Well experienced Doctors and kind staff. One good thing is there are follow-up calls even after treatment to enquire about the wellness of the patient. Great place to visit for dental medication."

"I’ve had the good fortune of being treated by Dr. Akanksha and Dr. Dipesh for my cavities and wisdom teeth extractions and am very pleased with the overall experience. The doctors are extremely professional, experienced, and approachable and make sure to keep me laughing through procedures I was scared of. The clinic is well sanitized at all times and the admin staff is very helpful "

- Alexa Perrin

"I went to Dr. Bipin for a molar extraction. It was a complicated extraction because it was a root canal tooth that had been gone down quite low. I voiced my concerns before the extraction because I knew it could easily crumble but he talked me through it, calmed me with his gentle manner and explained as he went through each process. Not only did he extract the tooth, I literally did not feel a single bit of pain. I didn't even realize the tooth was out and had to ask. I cannot recommend him enough. All of the dentists at Ridgetop are incredible - Dr. Jayashree and Dr. Akshay too. You are in safe hands with this team and certainly, in my case, they have gone out of their way, often out of hours to help me. I like that they each have their decades of specialism and that they pull each other into an appointment to consult and discuss the case. In my instance, they worked together to correct a significant error made by a private dentist in the UK. They really are the very best - and certainly better than any of the private dentists I have come across in the UK too. "
