Wisdom Teeth Removal Vancouver

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 About Wisdom Teeth Removal in Vancouver

Wisdom teeth removal in Vancouver is a common procedure to prevent potential dental issues caused by impacted or misaligned wisdom teeth. Our practice offers professional wisdom teeth extraction services to ensure your oral health and comfort. If you are experiencing pain, swelling, or other symptoms related to your wisdom teeth, it may be time to consider removal.

What is Wisdom Teeth Removal?

Wisdom teeth removal is a surgical procedure to extract one or more of the third molars located at the back of your mouth. These teeth, commonly known as wisdom teeth, often emerge during late adolescence or early adulthood. Due to limited space in the jaw, wisdom teeth can become impacted, leading to pain, infection, and other dental problems.

The Wisdom Teeth Removal Process

The process of wisdom teeth removal includes the following steps:

  1. Consultation and Examination: During your initial visit, we will conduct a thorough examination, including X-rays, to assess the position of your wisdom teeth and determine if removal is necessary.
  2. Preparation: We will discuss the procedure, answer any questions, and provide pre-surgery instructions to ensure you are well-prepared.
  3. Surgery: On the day of the procedure, we will administer local or general anesthesia to ensure your comfort. The wisdom teeth will then be carefully extracted.
  4. Post-Operative Care: After the surgery, we will provide you with detailed post-operative care instructions to promote healing and manage any discomfort.

“My family and I have been patients of Dr. Aliakbari for over two decades, and we couldn’t be happier with the care we’ve received. I have a lot of dental anxiety, but he is always incredibly gentle, patient, and reassuring, making every visit stress-free. He takes the time to explain everything and ensures I’m comfortable throughout the appointment. The secretary is also very accommodating and makes scheduling a breeze. If you're looking for a skilled and compassionate dentist, I highly recommend Dr. Aliakbari!”

“I’ve never had bad experience at Granville Station dental. I’ve been patient since 2012, all staffs and doctors always have been nice. I’ve seen Dr.Alghabi for annual check normally, but recently I had filling came off so saw Dr.Hariri who was working on the weekend. He made sure if doesn’t feel good, I can even come next day to consult again. Another great experience. Thank you!”

“I’ve been seeing Michelle at Granville Dental for years now. Without a doubt the best CDA I’ve ever seen. Not only does she make me feel comfortable going to the dentist. But the least discomfort with any actual procedure that gets done. I would highly recommend her to everyone.”

“I have been a longtime patient here, for good reason. The staff are all super professional, friendly and helpful. The hygienists are fantastic and thorough, and the dentists are the best I have ever come across. I have never experienced any discomfort at any time with them when getting any sort of work done. I had a filling put in yesterday and I forgot about it this morning until I received a follow up email from them. Truly a great team!”
