1. How Impaction Treatment Works

Impacted teeth, particularly wisdom teeth, require careful evaluation and timely treatment to prevent complications. To guide you through the process, here’s an overview of how treatment typically unfolds:

Diagnosis

To begin, a detailed clinical examination is performed by our dental experts. In most cases, we use X-rays or an OPG (orthopantomogram) scan to gain a clearer view. These diagnostic tools help us determine the position and severity of the impaction with precision.

Treatment Planning

Following the diagnosis, we develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs. Factors such as the tooth’s location, your age, specific symptoms, and risk of complications are all taken into account. This careful planning ensures that your treatment is both safe and effective from the outset.

Surgical Removal

In many instances, especially for fully or partially impacted teeth, a minor surgical procedure is required. To ensure comfort, we use local anesthesia—and sedation if necessary. During the surgery, the gum tissue is gently opened, and the impacted tooth is carefully removed. In certain cases, the tooth may be sectioned into smaller parts to facilitate easier extraction.

Post-Procedure Care

Once the procedure is complete, we provide you with clear instructions for pain management, oral hygiene, and dietary modifications. You may also be prescribed antibiotics or pain medication based on your condition. Moreover, we schedule follow-up visits to monitor your healing and progress.

Healing and Recovery

Typically, recovery takes just a few days to a week. During this time, some swelling, mild pain, or bruising may occur. Nevertheless, these symptoms are temporary and manageable. By following your dentist’s care instructions closely, you can help ensure a smooth and speedy recovery.

Impaction treatment is more than just a dental procedure—it’s a structured, step-by-step approach designed to safely remove impacted teeth and prevent related issues. From start to finish, every stage is centered around your comfort, safety, and long-term oral health.
