Examination and diagnosis
The doctor takes a health history, reviews current medications, examines the teeth, and orders X-rays as appropriate
WISDOM TOOTH EXTRACTION
Assessing the level of difficulty through examination and imaging before the procedure
Upper and lower wisdom teeth, along with difficulty levels ranging from 1 to 4, are classified in order to support the assessment of the condition, treatment planning, and cost determination; this classification does not represent independent extraction methods in itself. Schedule an examination so that the doctor can assess your case and advise you on a suitable approach going forward.
20 to 90 minutes
1
Recurring inflammation of the overlying gum tissue
2
Decay in the wisdom tooth itself, or decay caused in the neighboring tooth
3
A tooth erupting at an angle or becoming impacted, causing pain or affecting the surrounding tissue
4
The presence of a cyst or a pathological lesion related to the tooth
5
Extraction indicated in order to support another treatment plan

Related methods, materials, and technology
Related methods, materials
-
Wisdom tooth extraction using a method suited to the tooth's location and level of difficulty
-
Extraction of an impacted tooth as indicated by the doctor
-
Extraction using a Piezotome device, which assists with working on hard tissue through ultrasonic vibration in suitable cases
Technology
Sterilization control
-
A full-arch X-ray machine is used to help assess the condition of the tooth. In suitable cases, the doctor may recommend the use of a Piezotome device — an ultrasonic surgical technology that assists with selective bone cutting, helping to limit trauma to the surrounding tissue
-
Reusable instruments are collected and processed through a one-way flow, including cleaning, packaging, autoclave sterilization, and storage to proper standards, before being brought into use for a new treatment. Chair surfaces and other contact areas are cleaned and disinfected between patients. Single-use supplies are also replaced for every treatment session in order to help limit the risk of cross-infection
Treatment process
Treatment planning
The difficulty of the extraction is assessed, the risks are discussed, and an approach is agreed upon with the patient
Administering anesthesia and exposing the tooth
Local anesthesia is administered, and the tooth is exposed if needed to facilitate the extraction
Performing the extraction
The tooth is removed using a technique suited to the case, in order to limit trauma to the surrounding tissue
Completing the procedure
The socket is cleaned, and the wound is sutured closed when necessary
Care instructions
Guidance on post-extraction care is provided, and a follow-up visit is scheduled

Warranty and follow-up
Tooth extraction is a procedure whose healing process needs to be monitored, and it is not covered by a warranty policy in the same way that a restorative service is. Patients need to follow the after-care instructions, take any medication exactly as prescribed, and return for follow-up visits as scheduled. Any additional items arising from addressing an abnormal situation are handled according to the underlying cause and current clinic policy.
