Wisdom teeth extraction is performed to remove these teeth from the mouth in order to prevent any of these issues from occurring. The procedure itself typically takes between 30 minutes to an hour and can be done under either local or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the extraction. During the extraction, we will make a small incision in the gum line and then use a special tool to carefully remove the wisdom teeth. In some cases, we may need to cut the teeth into smaller pieces in order to remove them safely. After the extraction is complete, we will close the incision with sutures. After the procedure, it’s important to take care of your mouth to ensure a successful recovery.
