Extracting a wisdom tooth is a routine procedure at our practice. Our specialized team is highly experienced and removes the tooth gently and carefully. The removal of wisdom teeth may be necessary when there is insufficient space in the jaw. Wisdom teeth can cause shifting of the other teeth in the dental arch or lead to pain. If wisdom teeth only partially emerge from the gum, there is a risk of bacterial accumulation and its consequences (e.g., inflammation).
Important prerequisites for the uncomplicated removal of wisdom teeth are diagnostics and planning. We often work with three-dimensional X-ray images. Using a 3D X-ray image or CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography), we obtain a digital recording that provides a three-dimensional view of the jawbone. By visualizing all anatomical structures in space (such as root curvatures or nerve canals), we can identify potential complications in advance and plan the procedure reliably.
Surgical wisdom tooth extraction is an operation that requires postoperative care. Our team will provide you with professional and attentive support and give you specific instructions for the days following the procedure. You should take it easy in the first few days after the surgery, follow dietary guidelines, and visit our practice for follow-up checks. In a healthy individual, the healing phase (the process of tissue repair) takes approximately 1-2 weeks. During this time, we recommend avoiding alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, and (largely) dairy products. If you have any questions or issues, you can reach out to us at any time.
As a patient, you can find important information about wisdom teeth on our website. We provide you with expert knowledge and guide you on what to consider before, during, and after the treatment.
