What to Expect During Your Wisdom Teeth Removal
We walk every patient through the full process before the day of the procedure. You will never go into your appointment without knowing exactly what to expect.
Consultation
The process begins with a thorough exam, digital X-rays, and CBCT 3D imaging to evaluate the position of your wisdom teeth and determine whether removal is recommended. We discuss the findings clearly and answer all of your questions before moving forward.
1
Planning
If extraction is the best course of action, we explain the full procedure, review your sedation options, and walk you through what to expect on the day of surgery. We also review any pre-procedure instructions such as fasting requirements for sedation patients.
2
Anesthesia and Sedation
On the day of your procedure, local anesthesia is administered to numb the treatment area. If you have chosen a sedation option, it is administered before the local anesthetic is given. We take our time to ensure you are fully comfortable before we begin.
3
Tooth Removal
Depending on the position and complexity of each tooth, we either remove it directly or create a small incision for access. The tooth is carefully loosened and removed. Sectioning the tooth into smaller pieces is sometimes needed for easier removal with minimal trauma to the surrounding tissue.
4
Closure
After removal, the site is cleaned thoroughly. Stitches are placed to close the incision if needed. Gauze is placed over the site to help control bleeding and support the initial clotting process. We go through all aftercare instructions with you or your accompanying adult before you leave.
5
