THIRD MOLAR EXTRACTIONS
The third molars, often referred to as wisdom teeth, are the final teeth to emerge, typically during late adolescence or early adulthood. Frequently, due to limited space, they become impacted (unable to emerge correctly), resulting in pain, infection, overcrowding, and damage to adjacent teeth. At All Smiles, Dr Sujit Ghorpade and Dr Sonali Ghorpade offer expert, gentle, and safe extractions of third molars to safeguard your overall oral health.
What are Extractions of Third Molars?
A Third Molar Extraction is a typical surgical operation to extract one or several wisdom teeth. The necessity for removal usually occurs when wisdom teeth are:
Impacted: Trapped under the gum line or bone, exerting pressure on adjacent teeth.
Inducing Pain/Infection: Resulting in sensitivity, inflammation, or persistent infections (pericoronitis).
Inducing Congestion: Displacing surrounding teeth from their proper position.
Decomposed or Impaired: Unable to cleanse or repair because of their location.
The process is conducted using local anaesthesia to guarantee it is pain-free and pleasant. The dentists will thoroughly evaluate your tooth's alignment through imaging (X-rays) to devise the safest and most minimally invasive method for extraction, ensuring proper recovery.
