What is Wisdom Tooth Removal?
Wisdom teeth are the last molars to come through, usually in your late teens or twenties. Often there isn't enough room, so they come in at an angle or stay partly trapped under the gum.
When that causes pain, swelling, infection or damage to nearby teeth, removing the tooth is usually the best option. Some wisdom teeth come in straight and cause no trouble, and those can stay.
Dr. Delon focuses on minor oral surgery, including wisdom teeth. We'll take an X-ray, explain what we see, and walk you through the procedure and aftercare before you decide.
Your treatment, step by step.
Assessment
We examine the area and take an X-ray to see the tooth's position and roots.
Planning
We explain whether the tooth needs to come out, what's involved and how long recovery takes.
Removal
With the area numbed, the tooth is removed carefully. Some cases need a small cut in the gum.
Aftercare
You'll get clear aftercare instructions, and we'll follow up to check you're healing well.
