Wisdom teeth are the last molars to come in, and they do not always have enough room to settle in comfortably. At Treeline Dental, the team assesses and removes problem wisdom teeth for patients across North York and Toronto, helping to prevent or ease the issues they can sometimes cause.
For some people, wisdom teeth come in without trouble. For others, they can become impacted, grow at an angle, or crowd nearby teeth, which may lead to discomfort or make cleaning difficult. When removal is the right choice, the team plans the procedure carefully and explains each step so you feel prepared. Dr. Kreena Patel has completed advanced surgical training in oral surgery through the University of Toronto, with a clinical focus that includes complex wisdom tooth extractions.
This is worth saying plainly, because the assumption runs the other way.
Wisdom teeth are the last molars to arrive, usually in the late teens or early twenties, and they do not always have enough room to settle in comfortably. Where they do — where they are healthy, well positioned and you can clean them properly — the right course is often to leave them alone and monitor them.
Removal is recommended when they are causing problems, or when their position makes problems likely.
Because everyone’s situation is different, treatment begins with an examination to see how your wisdom teeth are positioned and whether they are causing problems. Removal may be suggested if you experience:
Assessment starts with an examination and, in most cases, imaging — because much of what matters about a wisdom tooth is below the gum.
Imaging shows the angle of the tooth, how developed the roots are, and how close they sit to the nerve running through the lower jaw. That anatomy determines whether extraction is straightforward or complex, and it is the reason the assessment comes before any commitment.
Younger patients generally have less developed roots and recover faster, which is why removal is often recommended earlier rather than waiting for trouble.
The area is fully frozen before anything begins. You will feel pressure rather than pain.
Straightforward extractions are quick. An impacted tooth takes longer, and may need to be removed in sections or approached through a small incision in the gum. Dr. Patel’s surgical training covers exactly these more complex cases, which means many can be handled here rather than referred elsewhere.
We will tell you which category yours falls into before you decide.
Most patients are back to their usual routine within a few days. You will be given clear aftercare instructions before you leave, and they matter more than anything that happens in the chair.
Expect some swelling for two to three days, and expect the second day to feel worse than the first. Plan to take it easy immediately afterward, and arrange a ride home if sedation is used.
Contact us if pain increases after day three, if swelling worsens rather than settles, or if bleeding does not stop with pressure.
