Our Wisdom Teeth Removal Services

Dr. Sunny K Tilwani’s practice provides safe and effective wisdom teeth removal to patients of all ages. Whether you’re in pain, preparing for braces or just want to protect your overall oral health, we’re here to make the process smooth and stress free. We evaluate your needs thoroughly and walk you through every step before the actual procedure starts. We want to make sure you’re informed, comfortable and confident before we begin. We also focus on wisdom teeth removal recovery and how to help you heal properly after.

  • Simple Wisdom Teeth Extractions
    If your wisdom teeth have fully erupted and are easily accessible, this type of tooth removal is quick. We loosen the actual tooth with dental tools and gently remove it. Most people recover quickly and experience little discomfort.
  • Surgical Wisdom Teeth Removal
    When impacted wisdom teeth are stuck beneath the gum tissue or jawbone, the procedure requires oral surgery. We make a small incision to access the tooth and remove it safely. This is common for lower wisdom teeth’s roots or upper wisdom teeth that don’t have enough room to grow.
  • Preventive Wisdom Teeth Removal
    Even if your wisdom teeth aren’t causing problems yet, removing them early can prevent future discomfort. This is especially helpful for teens and young adults. We check your dental X-rays and recommend this option if your third molars may cause problems later.

Benefits of Wisdom Teeth Removal

Taking care of your wisdom teeth before they cause trouble can save you a lot of pain and stress. Dr. Sunny K Tilwani’s patients often feel relieved and healthier after getting their wisdom teeth removed. Removing them can also help your other teeth stay straight and reduce the risk of infection. The truth is most people’s mouths don’t have enough room for these extra permanent teeth. That’s why removing them is often the smart choice.

  • Prevents Pain and Swelling
    When wisdom teeth push against your adjacent teeth, they can cause soreness, a swollen jaw, or jaw stiffness. Removing them early helps prevent infection and reduces pressure on the jaw muscles and neck muscles. This can also avoid headaches caused by dental pressure.
  • Protects Your Other Teeth
    Impacted wisdom teeth can press against your other teeth, causing crowding or damaging your smile. Removing them helps your teeth stay in place. It also reduces the risk of having to straighten your teeth again after braces.
  • Lowers Risk of Gum Infections
    When wisdom teeth don’t come in properly, food and bacteria can get trapped under the gum tissue covering the tooth. This can lead to infections that are hard to clean and treat. Removal helps improve oral hygiene and lowers this risk.
  • Supports Good Oral Health
    Removing wisdom teeth makes brushing and flossing easier, especially in the back of your mouth. It helps you maintain good oral health and avoid cavities or bone loss around the extraction site. This supports your overall oral health for years to come.
  • Avoids More Serious Dental Problems
    When left in place, wisdom teeth can lead to cysts, damage to the tooth root, or even sensory nerve damage. Getting them out early helps avoid these issues. It’s one of the easiest ways to stop a small problem from becoming a serious medical procedure.

Wisdom Teeth Removal Procedure at Dr. Sunny K Tilwani

We know getting your wisdom teeth removed might sound scary, but we’re here to make it as smooth as possible. Dr. Sunny K Tilwani’s office uses gentle techniques, modern tools and clear explanations to guide you through it. Our process is designed with your comfort and healing in mind. From local anesthesia to aftercare instructions, everything is personalized to you. Here’s how the extraction process works:

  1. Consultation and X-rays
    First we’ll do an exam and take X-rays to see where your third molars are positioned. We’ll discuss if they’re impacted wisdom teeth and if there’s enough room for them to grow. This helps us decide if we need to remove wisdom teeth now or monitor them.
  2. Anesthesia Options
    Before the actual procedure, we’ll discuss pain control, such as local anesthesia or nitrous oxide. These options will make sure you’re comfortable during the dental procedure. We’ll also ask about medications you take, like if you take oral contraceptives, to avoid other reactions.
  3. The Extraction Process
    Depending on the type of wisdom teeth extractions we’ll either gently pull the actual tooth or make a small incision to reach it. We may also need to remove a bit of bone or divide the tooth for easier removal. Don’t worry—we’ll explain everything before we start.
  4. Stopping the Bleeding
    After the tooth removal, we’ll place gauze over the area to help form a blood clot. You’ll need to bite down on it for at least an hour. This step is super important to avoid dry sockets which occur when the clot is dislodged too soon.
  5. Wisdom Teeth Removal Recovery
    We’ll give you instructions to help with your wisdom teeth removal recovery. This includes applying ice packs immediately, sticking to a soft food diet like cold foods or easy to eat foods, and taking your prescribed medication. We’ll also explain when you can start eating solid foods and how to promote healing.

FAQs

Do all wisdom teeth need to be removed?

Not always. Some people have wisdom teeth that grow straight and don’t cause any problems. But many don’t have enough room, which can lead to crowding or infection. We’ll check your X-rays and help you decide what’s best.

What can I eat after wisdom teeth removal?

After your wisdom teeth are removed, it’s best to stick with soft foods like yogurt, applesauce, mashed potatoes or smoothies. Avoid anything hot, spicy or crunchy for a few days. A soft food diet helps the extraction site heal faster. As you recover, you can slowly move to more solid foods and chew slowly to avoid irritation.

How long is recovery from wisdom teeth removal?

Most people feel better in 3 to 5 days but full healing takes about two weeks. During this time it’s important to rest, take your medications and follow our instructions closely. Any swelling or discomfort should resolve gradually. We’ll also teach you how to prevent dry sockets and other complications.

Is wisdom teeth removal painful?

With local anesthesia or nitrous oxide, the actual procedure itself isn’t painful. Afterward, you may feel soreness, especially if the tooth was impacted or the roots run deeper. But with proper pain management, ice packs and rest you should feel okay within a few days. We’re here if anything feels off.

Can wisdom teeth removal affect my health?

If not removed, wisdom teeth can cause infections, bone loss, and pressure on your other teeth. These issues can affect your overall oral health and even your ability to eat properly. That’s why we recommend regular dental check-ups and early removal if needed. It helps in maintaining nutrients and avoiding low blood sugar caused by chewing problems.
