Wisdom Teeth Extraction
Oral Surgery
Gentle wisdom teeth removal, DONE RIGHT.
Wisdom teeth don't always come in the way they should. When they're impacted, crowded, or causing pain, removing them early prevents infection, damage to neighboring teeth, and years of unnecessary discomfort.
At Smile Ave Dental, we use modern techniques and sedation options to make the entire process quick, comfortable, and stress-free — most patients are back to normal within a few days.

Know The Signs
Signs you may need extraction
Wisdom teeth that don't erupt properly can cause a wide range of issues. If you're experiencing any of the following, it's time to get evaluated.
Persistent Pain
Aching or throbbing in the back of your jaw that won't go away — especially when biting down or chewing.
Swollen, Tender Gums
Gum inflammation or bleeding at the back of the mouth where wisdom teeth are trying to emerge.
Impacted Teeth
Wisdom teeth stuck below the gumline or growing sideways into neighboring molars — often spotted only on X-rays.
Shifting Teeth
Wisdom teeth can push on neighbors, causing crowding and undoing years of orthodontic work.
Chronic Bad Breath
Partially erupted wisdom teeth trap food and bacteria — causing persistent bad breath and an odd taste.
Jaw Stiffness
Difficulty opening your mouth fully, jaw soreness, or headaches that trace back to the back molars.
The Process
What to expect, step by step
From first consultation to full recovery, we guide you through every step — comfortably and confidently.
01
Consultation & X-Rays
We evaluate the position, angle, and health of each wisdom tooth using digital 3D imaging.
02
Sedation Options
Choose from local anesthesia, nitrous oxide, or IV sedation based on your comfort level.
03
The Extraction
The procedure takes about 45 minutes — gentle, precise, and completely pain-free.
04
Recovery & Aftercare
Most patients rest 2–3 days and return to normal activities within a week.
Impacted Tooth
Why Remove Them
Early removal Prevents Problems.
Proactive extraction avoids infection, protects neighboring teeth, and keeps recovery fast and simple.
Prevents Infection
Eliminates the risk of pericoronitis — a painful gum infection common around partially erupted wisdom teeth.
Protects Your Smile
Stops wisdom teeth from pushing your other teeth out of alignment — preserving your straight smile.
Faster Recovery When Young
Teens and young adults heal faster — roots are less developed, making extractions simpler and quicker.
Avoids Cysts & Damage
Left alone, impacted wisdom teeth can form cysts or damage jawbone and nerves over time.
Know Before You Go
Everything to feel confident & calm.
Before Your Appointment
If you're choosing IV sedation, fast for 8 hours before your procedure and arrange a ride home. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. Take any pre-prescribed medications as directed. Avoid alcohol and smoking for 24 hours before your surgery. We'll review all instructions with you during your consultation.
Recovery & Aftercare
Rest for 24 hours and keep your head elevated. Apply ice packs to reduce swelling. Stick to soft foods like smoothies, yogurt, and soup for the first few days. Avoid straws, smoking, and vigorous rinsing — these can dislodge the healing clot. Most patients return to normal routines within 3 to 5 days.
