Wisdom Tooth Extractions Thornhill, ON

Wisdom teeth can cause infection, crowding, or decay in your mouth and are not integral to the structure of your mouth.
We may suggest that you have them removed if we believe they pose a potential risk to your oral health. Removal is safe, painless, and effective.

Key Benefits:

• Simple and common procedure
• Prevent infection/decay
• Prevent crowding

Some reasons for removal include:

An impacted tooth: The tooth cannot break through the gums correctly because the jawbone is not big enough to facilitate the tooth

A partially erupted tooth: The tooth has only partially broken through the gum and cannot form a proper seal against the gums, which may result in infection

An angled tooth: The tooth erupts at an angle creating risk to surrounding teeth and possible oral pain

Additional Information

The extraction may be done under local anesthetic but for more complicated extractions you may be referred to an oral surgeon. Recovery is typically quite fast, usually taking two or three days.
