What Happens During a Wisdom Teeth Extraction?
The first step to easing your discomfort is scheduling a consultation with our experienced team. During your visit, Dr. Silegy will take the time to fully assess your dental needs, using advanced imaging and a comprehensive exam to create a treatment plan tailored to you. We’ll walk you through every step, explaining what to expect and answering your questions so you feel completely prepared.
Depending on your comfort level, we offer various sedation options, including the choice to be asleep during the procedure. Our advanced techniques and careful planning ensure that most wisdom teeth extractions take less than an hour, even in complex cases. At Silegy OMFS, we take pride in not only delivering outstanding clinical results but also making sure you feel supported and confident throughout the process.
After the procedure, we’ll help you plan for a safe and smooth recovery, including guidance on transportation arrangements and personalized aftercare instructions.
What to Expect When Healing From Wisdom Tooth Removal
Healing after wisdom teeth extraction doesn’t have to be difficult when you have the right support. Following the procedure, it’s normal to experience some soreness, swelling, or minor bleeding for a few days. Dr. Silegy will provide any necessary prescriptions to manage discomfort and recommend over-the-counter medications if needed.
We’ll also guide you on using ice packs to minimize swelling and suggest soft foods like smoothies, soups, and rice to make eating easier during recovery. Staying hydrated is essential, but we’ll remind you to avoid straws to ensure proper healing. If any questions or concerns come up during your recovery, you can trust that our team is just a phone call away. At Silegy OMFS, we’re committed to making sure you feel cared for and confident every step of the way.
Why Is Wisdom Teeth Removal Necessary?
Most people need wisdom teeth removed because modern human jaws simply don’t have enough space to accommodate these third molars. Left unaddressed, wisdom teeth can cause:
- Infection and inflammation
- Crowding of surrounding teeth
- Increased risk of cavities and decay
- Pain and discomfort
- Difficulty maintaining oral hygiene
- Bad breath
- Potential need for future orthodontic or dental work
By addressing wisdom teeth early, you can avoid these complications and maintain better overall oral health. At Silegy OMFS, we specialize in creating personalized treatment plans that focus on both immediate relief and long-term solutions for your smile.
