Wisdom Teeth Removal in Plateau-Mont-Royal, Montreal
At Sourire Plateau, we provide wisdom teeth extraction in Plateau-Mont-Royal and Montreal to help prevent pain, infection, and crowding. As a trusted clinique wisdom service provider, wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, often emerge between the late teens and early twenties and can cause discomfort or complications if there isn’t enough space for them to grow properly.
Why Wisdom Teeth Are Removed
Because wisdom teeth develop at the very back of the mouth, they can:
-
Grow at an angle and press against other teeth
-
Become trapped beneath the gums (impacted)
-
Cause swelling, infection, or gum irritation
-
Lead to jaw stiffness or pain
-
Create alignment problems or crowding
Removing problematic wisdom teeth helps protect the alignment of your other teeth and prevents future oral health issues.
The Wisdom Teeth Extraction Process
-
Examination & X-Rays – Your dentist will assess tooth position and potential complications.
-
Anesthesia – Local or sedation anesthesia ensures comfort throughout the procedure.
-
Extraction – The tooth is gently removed using advanced techniques to minimize trauma.
-
Aftercare – Detailed instructions are provided to promote healing and reduce swelling or discomfort.
Recovery & Aftercare
Most patients recover within a few days. Following your dentist’s care instructions—such as using ice packs, eating soft foods, and avoiding strenuous activity—helps ensure a smooth recovery.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is wisdom teeth removal painful?
No. The procedure is performed under local or sedation anesthesia to keep you comfortable. Mild soreness afterward is normal and temporary.
When should wisdom teeth be removed?
Usually between the ages of 17 and 25, before the roots fully form or if X-rays show they may cause problems.
What happens if I don’t remove them?
Impacted or misaligned wisdom teeth can cause infection, crowding, or damage to neighboring teeth.
How long does recovery take?
Initial healing takes a few days, but complete healing can take up to two weeks depending on the complexity of the extraction.
