Get answers to common questions about Wisdom Teeth Treatment.

We evaluate symptoms, dental X-rays and bite alignment to determine need. When third molars are impacted, infected, or crowding other teeth, we recommend extraction to prevent ongoing pain and long-term problems.

Extractions are done under local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia depending on complexity and patient preference. You will not feel pain during the procedure, and post-op discomfort is managed with medications and clear aftercare guidance.

Initial recovery typically takes 3–7 days with swelling and soreness peaking around 48 hours. Most normal activities resume within a week; complete soft tissue and bone healing can take several weeks with proper care and follow-up.

Like any surgery, risks include swelling, infection, bleeding, dry socket, and rare nerve irritation. We minimize complications with thorough imaging, sterile technique, experienced surgeons, and detailed post-operative instructions and follow-up care.

Cost varies by complexity, imaging, anesthesia choice, and whether teeth are impacted. At Sky Dental Clinic we provide an accurate estimate after examination and X-rays, and discuss payment options and insurance where applicable.
