Wisdom Tooth & Impacted Tooth Extraction
Wisdom Tooth & Impacted Tooth Extraction Treatment at Viransh Dental Clinic & Exclusive Centre for Endodontics
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, often emerge between the ages of 17 and 25. In many cases, there isn’t enough space in the jaw for them to grow properly, causing them to become impacted. Impacted teeth can lead to pain, swelling, infection, damage to nearby teeth, and alignment problems.
Wisdom tooth and impacted tooth extraction is a common and safe surgical procedure
When Is Extraction Needed?
Extraction may be recommended if you experience:
Pain or swelling at the back of the mouth
Difficulty opening the mouth or chewing
Recurrent gum infections around the tooth
Damage or pressure on neighboring teeth
Tooth decay that cannot be treated with fillings
Cysts or bone damage around the impacted tooth
Early removal often prevents more serious problems later.
Types of Impacted Teeth
Fully Impacted Teeth: Completely trapped within the jawbone
Partially Impacted Teeth: Partially erupted and difficult to clean
Soft Tissue Impaction: Covered by gum tissue
Bony Impaction: Embedded within the jawbone
Each case is carefully evaluated using digital X-rays or 3D imaging to plan safe and effective treatment.
