The Wisdom Tooth Extraction Process
Removing one or all four wisdom teeth will likely occur one of two ways – a simple procedure or a surgical one. When performing a simple removal, we will numb the partially erupted wisdom tooth and its surrounding area before using dental elevators and forceps to lift and grasp the tooth, gently moving it so that it detaches from its socket.
A surgical procedure, however, is recommended when a tooth is impacted or beneath the gumline. We will need to make an incision in your gums after numbing the area so that the tooth is exposed. Being careful of the nearby bone, we will remove the tooth in pieces to ensure a more comfortable process.
