The Wisdom Tooth Process
Before we start removing one, two, three, or all four wisdom teeth, our team will first decide which type of extraction will be performed before providing local anesthesia. When administering a simple procedure, we will lift the partially erupted tooth from its socket so that we can easily grasp the crown. With a back-and-forth motion, we will cause the tooth to detach from the ligaments underneath before taking care of the vacant socket.
When preparing for a surgical procedure for impacted teeth, we will create a small opening in the gums. This will expose the tooth and existing bone. Using appropriate instruments designed for extraction, we will carefully section the tooth and begin removing it. This level of attention ensures a swifter, more comfortable process, and it minimizes any further damage to the bone.
