Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom Teeth Extraction
Wisdom teeth often cause problems and need removal. Whether they’re impacted, infected, or crowding your other teeth, we remove wisdom teeth safely and comfortably. At St. Lawrence Dentistry in Mississauga, we use advanced surgical techniques to extract wisdom teeth with minimal discomfort and fast recovery.
Why Remove Wisdom Teeth
Most people don’t have room for wisdom teeth. They become impacted, causing pain, infection, and damage to adjacent teeth. Removal prevents these problems.

FAQS
Frequently asked questions
Do all wisdom teeth need removal?
Not necessarily. If wisdom teeth are healthy, properly positioned, and don’t cause problems, they can stay.
What are signs my wisdom teeth need removal?
Pain, infection, crowding of other teeth, damage to adjacent teeth, and cysts all indicate removal may be necessary.
Is wisdom teeth extraction painful?
We numb your mouth completely. You’ll feel pressure but no pain during extraction.
How long does wisdom teeth extraction take?
Simple extractions take 15 to 30 minutes per tooth. Impacted teeth take longer.
How long is recovery?
Initial healing takes one to two weeks. Complete healing takes several months.
Will my face swell after extraction?
Some swelling is normal. It peaks at 48 to 72 hours and decreases afterward.
When can I eat normal food?
Start with soft foods immediately. Progress to normal foods as your extraction sites heal, typically within one to two weeks.
Can I get implants where my wisdom teeth were?
Yes. Wisdom tooth extraction sites can support implants once healed.
