Surgical Wisdom Tooth Removal

Surgical removal of a wisdom tooth (third molar) that is impacted, partially erupted or causing pain, infection or crowding. Because these teeth often sit at an angle or remain under the gum and bone, removing them can require a minor surgical procedure under local anaesthetic. The clinic plans cases with 3D imaging and prices by difficulty, from a more accessible tooth up to a fully impacted one.

Wisdom teeth are the last molars to come through, usually in the late teens or twenties, and there is often not enough room for them. They can become impacted — stuck against the tooth in front or trapped beneath the gum and bone — which may lead to recurring infections of the overlying gum, decay in the wisdom tooth or its neighbour, cysts, or pressure and crowding. When symptoms occur, removal is commonly advised. At Stomatologia Wileńska a surgical consultation and 3D CBCT scan are used to see the exact position of the tooth and its roots in relation to the nerve in the lower jaw and the sinus in the upper jaw, which guides a safe approach. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic. For an impacted tooth the surgeon makes a small incision in the gum, removes a little bone if necessary, often divides the tooth so it can be taken out in sections, and then places sutures to help the area heal. You are given thorough aftercare advice covering swelling, which is normal for a few days, oral hygiene and pain control, and a follow-up is arranged to review healing and remove stitches. The fee range reflects how straightforward or complex each tooth is. Your dentist will explain the specific risks for your case, including temporary swelling and, for lower wisdom teeth, the small risk associated with the nearby nerve, before you decide to proceed.
