Some lower wisdom teeth can be close to the inferior alveolar nerve (which gives feeling to your lip & chin).
In rare cases, this may cause temporary symptoms such as:
These effects are usually temporary
Gentle removal with Piezo technology
Laser Biostimulation
After the tooth is removed, we apply laser therapy to promote clotting and healing. The site is then stitched (if needed) and covered with gauze.
Wisdom teeth may need to be removed if they are impacted, causing pain, swelling, infection, or damage to nearby teeth.
Other reasons include preventing future dental problems such as decay, gum disease, cysts, or crowding of your existing teeth.

During the procedure, the area is fully numbed, so you should feel pressure but not sharp pain.
After the extraction, some soreness is normal as the body begins healing. The discomfort is usually most noticeable during the first 48–72 hours and improves gradually after that.
Most patients find it manageable with the medication and instructions provided.
“Instead of extraction, I chose root canal therapy because it’s the only molar he has left on this side to chew.”- Dr Karen
Removing all wisdom teeth at once is usually not recommended, as it may require general anesthesia and could increase certain risks.
Our approach:
Wisdom tooth removal is generally safe, but like any surgical procedure, there are some risks such as nerve irritation and infection.
In rare cases, lower wisdom teeth may be close to a nerve, which could cause temporary numbness. To improve safety, we use Piezo-assisted surgery and laser disinfection, which help protect nearby tissues and support faster healing.
The duration depends on the complexity of the case.
Some swelling is normal after wisdom tooth removal. It usually peaks around day 2 or 3, then gradually reduces over the following days.
Applying a cold compress during the first 24 hours and getting proper rest can help reduce swelling and improve comfort. In most cases, the swelling will subside within about a week.
You can start with soft foods on the same day, such as porridge, yogurt, soup, or mashed potatoes.
Over the next few days, you can gradually return to normal foods as your comfort improves.
It’s best to avoid hard, crunchy, or spicy foods for about a week to allow the extraction site to heal properly.
Many patients are able to return to light daily activities within 1–3 days.
However, it’s best to avoid heavy exercise or strenuous activity for about a week, as this may increase swelling or bleeding.
