Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Wisdom Teeth Treatment.

Consider treatment if wisdom teeth cause pain, recurrent infections, damage to adjacent teeth, or crowding. At Sky Dental Clinic we assess with clinical exams and 3D imaging to recommend timely extraction or monitoring based on individual risk and age.

Not always. Some wisdom teeth remain healthy and asymptomatic and can be monitored. Surgical extraction is recommended when teeth are impacted, cause symptoms, risk damage, or hinder orthodontic treatment after individualized evaluation.

Most patients recover within a few days to two weeks. Initial swelling and discomfort peak at 48 to 72 hours; follow care instructions, take prescribed medications, rest, and attend follow-up visits to ensure proper healing.

Risks exist but are minimized with careful assessment, imaging, and experienced surgeons. We discuss nerve proximity and potential complications, and use techniques to protect adjacent teeth and nerves whenever possible.

Options include local anesthesia, intravenous sedation, and general anesthesia when indicated. Our team reviews medical history and procedure complexity to recommend the safest, most comfortable anesthesia for each patient.

Follow pre-op instructions: arrange transportation, fast if instructed, disclose medications and health conditions, stop smoking, and prepare soft foods. Clear communication with our team ensures safe anesthesia and a smoother recovery.
