Wisdom Tooth Extraction in Dubai
Are you experiencing pain, swelling, or discomfort in your mouth? It could be your wisdom teeth. At New Ivory Dental and Implant Clinic, we understand the challenges and pain associated with wisdom teeth and are here to help. With our quality dental care and state-of-the-art facilities, we provide efficient and comfortable wisdom tooth extraction services in Dubai.
Understanding Wisdom Teeth
The wisdom teeth at the back of the jaw are the final set to emerge. Typically, there are four wisdom teeth, two on the upper and two on the lower jaw. However, not all wisdom teeth require removal. When there is limited space in the jaw, wisdom teeth can cause various issues, including pain, swelling, and damage to adjacent teeth.
Your Comfort is Our Priority
At New Ivory Dental and Implant Clinic, we prioritize patients experiencing pain. If you have an emergency, please inform us, and we will try and accommodate you as soon as possible. Our goal is to provide a comfortable, stress-free experience throughout your wisdom tooth extraction journey.
Different Scenarios for Wisdom Teeth
Scenario 1: Completely Erupted Wisdom Teeth: If your wisdom teeth have fully erupted and are not causing any issues, they generally do NOT require removal. However, extraction may be necessary if they are decayed or difficult to clean. Continuous food impaction around a wisdom tooth might also indicate pre-emptive removal. Our experienced dentists will assess your case and recommend the most suitable treatment.
Scenario 2: Wisdom Teeth Buried Under the Gum: Sometimes wisdom teeth remain buried. These teeth generally do NOT need to be removed. However it is recommended to take X-rays every two to three years to detect issues with these impacted wisdom teeth should they arise. Our team will ensure your wisdom teeth are under constant observation and provide you with professional guidance.
Scenario 3: Partially Erupted Wisdom Teeth: Extraction is typically necessary when a wisdom tooth cannot fully grow due to a lack of space. Delaying extraction in such cases can have adverse effects on your other teeth. Our skilled dentists will evaluate your situation and discuss your best action.
The Wisdom Tooth Removal Process
At New Ivory Dental and Implant Clinic, we strive to make the wisdom tooth extraction process as comfortable as possible. The procedure duration can vary from 10 minutes to over an hour, depending on the complexity of your case. We administer local anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the process. We also provide Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas) sedation, a relaxant, and an effective painkiller if you feel anxious about the whole procedure.
Our experienced dentists begin by taking a panoramic X-ray or OPG to assess your wisdom tooth’s shape, size, and position. This information helps us identify potential risks during extraction. In complex cases, we recommend a 3D CBCT Scan, which provides enhanced safety by evaluating the proximity of the tooth roots to the underlying nerves and other important jaw structures.
New Ivory Dental and Implant Clinic strive to remove wisdom teeth with minimal discomfort, using the most effective and efficient techniques. Our in-house 3D CBCT Scanner ensures an added level of safety by assessing vital structures around the wisdom teeth. Additionally, our Nitrous Oxide sedation option makes the entire process more relaxing and comfortable for our patients.
The Benefits of Wisdom Tooth Extraction:
- Relief from Pain and Discomfort: Wisdom teeth causing pain, swelling, or discomfort can significantly impact your daily life. By undergoing a wisdom tooth extraction, you can find relief from these symptoms and enjoy improved oral health and overall well-being.
- Prevention of Dental Issues: Wisdom teeth can sometimes lead to dental problems, including tooth decay, gum disease, and damage to neighboring teeth. Removing these problematic teeth can prevent these issues from occurring or worsening, protecting the health and integrity of your smile.
- Enhanced Oral Hygiene: Wisdom teeth, especially partially erupted or impacted ones, can be challenging to clean correctly. Their location at the back of the mouth makes them susceptible to plaque buildup and bacterial infections. By removing these teeth, you can maintain better oral hygiene and reduce the risk of future dental problems.
- Improved Teeth Alignment: In some cases, wisdom teeth exert pressure on the surrounding teeth, causing them to shift or become misaligned. By removing wisdom teeth, we can help preserve the alignment of your existing teeth and prevent the need for orthodontic treatment later on.
