Wisdom Teeth Extractions
At Akeso Oral Surgery, our team of experts knows how important it is to remove wisdom teeth at the right time, whether you're a teenager or an adult. We offer kind and caring treatment, using the latest techniques to make sure your experience is as comfortable and easy as possible.
Why Should I Get My Wisdom Teeth Removed?
Wisdom teeth, which are also called third molars, usually come in during your late teens or early twenties. In many cases, these teeth can cause problems because there isn't enough room in your jaw for them to grow properly. They might come in crooked, get stuck (impacted), or only come out part of the way. This can lead to pain, crowding, and other issues with your teeth. Getting your wisdom teeth taken out before these problems start can help keep your other teeth and gums healthy.
Benefits of Wisdom Teeth Extractions
Prevent Overcrowding and Misalignment
Removing wisdom teeth can prevent them from pushing against your other teeth, which can cause overcrowding, misalignment, and potentially undo the effects of previous orthodontic treatment.
Reduce the Risk of Oral Health Issues
Impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth can be difficult to clean. This can increase the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and infection. Removing them can help maintain better oral hygiene and overall dental health.
Alleviate Pain and Discomfort
Wisdom teeth that grow at an angle or become impacted can cause pain, swelling, and discomfort in the jaw, gums, and nearby teeth. Extracting them can provide relief and improve your quality of life.

FAQ's
At Akeso Oral Surgery, we prioritize your comfort throughout the wisdom teeth removal process. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia or sedation, depending on your preference and the complexity of your case. With sedation, most patients experience little to no discomfort during the extraction. After the procedure, it is normal to experience some swelling, soreness, and minor bleeding. Our team will provide you with detailed post-operative instructions, pain management recommendations, and a comfort pack to ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery. Most patients find that any discomfort is manageable with prescribed medication and can resume normal activities within a few days.
In most cases, dissolvable stitches are used after wisdom teeth removal. These stitches are designed to disintegrate on their own within a few days to a week, eliminating the need for a separate removal appointment. As the stitches dissolve, it is normal to feel a slight sensation or notice small pieces of the suture material in your mouth. This is no cause for alarm and is a normal part of the healing process. In some instances, non-dissolvable stitches may be used, which will require removal by your oral surgeon after 7-10 days. Your surgeon will inform you of the type of stitches used and provide instructions on how to care for the surgical site to promote proper healing.
The recovery time after wisdom teeth removal varies from person to person, but most patients can expect to resume normal activities within 3-7 days. Immediately after the procedure, you may experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which typically peak around the third day and then begin to subside. It is essential to follow the post-operative instructions provided by your oral surgeon, including rest, a soft food diet, and proper oral hygiene. Most patients can return to work or school within a few days, although strenuous activities and exercise should be avoided for at least a week. Your oral surgeon will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure a smooth recovery.
