Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Thanks to the Artdent method, wisdom tooth extraction takes an average of only 15-20 minutes, compared to the traditional 30-60 minutes. This minimizes surgical stress, lowers infection risk, and significantly reduces healing time.

Additionally, we use supplementary soft-laser therapy, which has pain-relieving, anti-inflammatory, and swelling-reducing effects while stimulating the body’s natural healing processes. This speeds up recovery, allowing you to return to your daily routine without taking time off work or school.

In most cases, wisdom teeth only partially emerge, leaving a portion covered by soft gum tissue. Food particles can easily become trapped under this tissue, making proper cleaning nearly impossible and leading to inflammation.

The first signs of wisdom tooth inflammation include swollen gums and pain, which can radiate to the ear, throat, or forehead. Severe infections may cause discomfort while chewing, moving the jaw, or even opening the mouth. In such cases, visiting an oral surgeon is highly recommended, as extreme conditions can lead to jaw lock.

Swollen lymph nodes are also a warning sign. If left untreated, infections originating from the wisdom tooth can affect the entire body.

If a wisdom tooth only partially erupts, a pocket forms between the tooth and the gum, making thorough cleaning impossible. Trapped food particles can lead to painful infections, high fever, and swelling.

Due to space limitations, a growing wisdom tooth may push neighboring molars forward, which, in turn, can affect the front teeth—causing misalignment across the entire dental arch.

Impacted wisdom teeth trapped in the jawbone can eventually form cysts or abscesses, often without symptoms for years, silently straining the immune system.

A tilted wisdom tooth pressing against the back of a molar creates an area impossible to clean with a toothbrush, accelerating decay and possibly leading to the loss of adjacent teeth.
Wisdom tooth-related complications may arise even without symptoms. That’s why it’s crucial to have regular dental checkups—at least once a year—even if you believe your wisdom teeth aren’t causing issues.

The most important thing is to be aware of whether or not you have wisdom teeth. Consult a specialist and come to us for an oral health screening! With a panoramic X-ray, we can determine if your wisdom teeth might cause problems in the future.

Regardless of symptoms, we recommend scheduling regular check-ups every six months to a year, as issues with wisdom teeth can occur without warning. If they are already causing discomfort, it could indicate a more serious problem. A dental X-ray will immediately reveal whether the wisdom tooth is putting pressure on the entire dental arch, whether it is growing at an angle, or even if there is decay in a spot that is not visible to the naked eye. Regular check-ups can help prevent tooth decay, cyst formation, the loss of adjacent teeth, or crowding.

Thanks to our method, the average time for wisdom tooth extraction is only 15 minutes. Additionally, the surgical stress is minimal, which, along with the complimentary SAFE-laser treatment, ensures a rapid recovery time—typically 3-4 days under normal circumstances. This means you can quickly and painlessly get rid of your problematic wisdom tooth without taking days off work.
