WISDOM TOOTH EXTRACTION

Wisdom Tooth Removal

WISDOM TOOTH REMOVAL

At Madison Avenue Oral Surgery & Implant Center, we offer wisdom tooth extractions. Wisdom tooth removal surgically removes one or more wisdom teeth, however patients typically opt to remove all 4 wisdom teeth at once. Wisdom teeth are a third set of molars at the back of the mouth that are not necessary in supporting oral health. In fact, once they begin to grow in, they can cause many complications. Wisdom teeth that have begun to break through the gumline can cause tooth pain and many other uncomfortable symptoms. Wisdom tooth extractions are a routine oral surgery for preventing potential issues and promoting better oral health. Removing wisdom teeth can help with comfort by relieving pressure and reducing gum sensitivity to help with tooth pain.

WISDOM TEETH REMOVAL
EXTRACTING WISDOM TEETH

WISDOM TOOTH REMOVAL PROCESS

Wisdom tooth removal can be performed before the wisdom teeth begin to emerge or if they become impacted. Once wisdom teeth begin to break through the gums, they can begin to cause a wide variety of complications that can affect the way a patients’ teeth look and function. By removing the teeth early, Dr. Datson can help patients resolve issues, such as crowding and misalignment, and avoid more serious problems from surfacing, such as infection, decay, and nerve damage.

Using specialized dental instruments, our oral surgeon will carefully loosen the wisdom tooth from its socket in the jawbone. If the tooth is impacted (unable to fully emerge through the gum) or positioned in a way that makes extraction challenging, they may need to make a small incision in the gum tissue or section the tooth into smaller pieces for easier removal. Overall, wisdom tooth removal is a routine procedure aimed at preventing potential dental issues, ultimately promoting better oral health and comfort.

WHAT ARE IMPACTED
WISDOM TEETH?

Impacted wisdom teeth are teeth that have become trapped under the gumline. While wisdom teeth can cause damage when they emerge, impacted wisdom teeth can cause more serious complications, such as nerve and jaw damage. The different types of wisdom tooth impactions include vertical impaction, partial impaction, horizontal impaction, soft tissue impaction, bony impaction, mesial impaction, and distal impaction. Diagnosing and removing impacted wisdom teeth in a timely manner can help prevent these complications from arising.

TYPES OF IMPACTED WISDOM TEETH
VERTICAL IMPACTION
Caused when the tooth is too close to the neighboring tooth & becomes stuck beside the adjacent tooth.
PARTIAL IMPACTION
Tooth begins to emerge but runs into the adjacent tooth with a flap of gum tissue over the wisdom tooth.
HORIZONTAL IMPACTION
Occurs when the wisdom tooth is horizontally trapped under the gumline.
SOFT TISSUE IMPACTION
Caused by the tooth only partially emerging from the jawbone & becoming stuck under the gum.
BONY IMPACTION
Occurs when the tooth is fully concealed within the jawbone.
MESIAL IMPACTION
Results in a tooth that is improperly angled while erupting & causes pain to the neighboring tooth.
DISTAL IMPACTION
Occurs when the tooth is positioned away from your other teeth & is moving toward the back of your mouth.

IDEAL WISDOM TOOTH
REMOVAL CANDIDATES

The ideal candidate for wisdom tooth removal is looking to alleviate or prevent pain, discomfort, and complications that may be caused by the emergence of wisdom teeth. Wisdom teeth that have not emerged yet can still be removed as a preventative measure. Wisdom teeth also become more difficult to remove when you are older and often have longer healing times. During your consultation for wisdom tooth removal, Dr. Datson and his oral surgery team will help determine if you are an ideal candidate.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING
WISDOM TOOTH REMOVAL

The wisdom tooth removal procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia. If the wisdom teeth are impacted the procedure may entail a small incision along the gumline. This incision allows Dr. Datson to access the impacted teeth with ease and offer the most optimal outcome. At Madison Avenue Oral Surgery & Implant Center, we specialize in wisdom tooth removal procedures.

WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER
WISDOM TOOTH REMOVAL

Following wisdom tooth removal in NYC, patients should take time to rest and recover. If general anesthesia was administered, patients can expect to spend a short period of time in a recovery room while the anesthesia leaves their system. It is suggested that patients avoid brushing their teeth for the first 24 hours following their surgery, as this can irritate the surgical sites. Patients may need to return to the office to have any sutures removed. Before sending you home, our oral surgery team will provide detailed recovery instructions. If patients have any questions or concerns, they are encouraged to call our office. Our friendly staff is on hand to help during this time.
