During your first visit, we take X-rays to check your wisdom teeth and explain your treatment options. - Preparation and Sedation:
We make sure you’re comfortable with options like local anesthesia, laughing gas, or IV sedation. - Extraction:
The procedure is done in our clinic using advanced methods to reduce discomfort, usually in under an hour. - Aftercare:
We’ll give you clear instructions to help you recover quickly.
Recovery and Aftercare
Healing from wisdom teeth removal takes about 3–7 days. Here’s what to know:
- Symptoms: It’s normal to have swelling, mild pain, and a stiff jaw. These should improve in a few days.
- Food: Eat soft foods like yogurt, soup, and smoothies. Avoid hot or spicy foods.
- Cleaning: Gently rinse with warm salt water but don’t brush hard near the extraction area.
- Follow-Up: We’ll check your recovery at a follow-up visit and help if needed.
