Wisdom Tooth Surgery

As fuss free as possible. The way (we think) it should be

Wisdom tooth removal can be a very daunting task. The prospect of injections, pain, noise, blood and stitches. Doesn’t sound appealing at all.

Yet sometimes there is necessity for removal because the alternative is worse.

In these situations, we strive to provide a clear and straightforward wisdom tooth removal process.

Note: we do not and cannot promise “100% no pain”, “zero complications”, “surely no problem”. That would probably be irresponsible to begin with. But we will tell you like it is and look to minimize these as much as possible. And if it’s simply not possible, we’ll tell you.

A STREAMLINED PROCESS

From consultation & X-rays, to the actual wisdom tooth surgery, to payments and post-surgery care, we strive to keep each step professional and efficient, keeping the main objective in mind: to deliver a quality wisdom tooth surgery experience to you

From consultation & X-rays

A detailed clinical and radiographic examination is performed for case assessment. Our doctors will explain the procedure and discuss the risks vs benefits of the surgery

To the actual wisdom tooth surgery

Together, our team of general dental surgeons and oral and maxillofacial surgery specialists treat a wide range of cases of varying complexities

To payments

And post-surgery care

Patients will be given clear instructions on how to manage their surgery site to ensure minimal discomfort during the recovery process
