Personalized Dental Care for a Healthier, Brighter Smile
Wisdom Tooth Surgery is a dental procedure performed to manage wisdom teeth that are impacted, causing pain, infected, difficult to clean, or creating problems for surrounding teeth and gums. Dr. Himanshi Sawlani provides carefully planned wisdom tooth care after evaluating the tooth position, surrounding structures, and overall oral health.
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, often develop during the late teenage years or early adulthood. In some patients, there may not be enough space for them to erupt normally, which can result in impaction or other dental problems. Depending on the individual case, treatment may involve monitoring the tooth or recommending surgical removal to address existing or potential complications.

Frequently asked questions
Wisdom tooth surgery is a procedure used to remove a wisdom tooth when it is impacted, causing problems, infected, difficult to maintain, or otherwise affecting the surrounding teeth and tissues. The need for surgery depends on the individual dental condition.
Removal may be considered when a wisdom tooth is causing pain, repeated infection, swelling, decay, damage to neighbouring teeth, or other dental complications. Some wisdom teeth can be monitored if they are healthy and not causing problems.
An impacted wisdom tooth is a tooth that does not fully erupt into the mouth because of limited space, its position, or obstruction from nearby teeth or bone. An impacted tooth may require monitoring or treatment depending on its condition and symptoms.
The procedure time varies depending on the position of the wisdom tooth, whether it is impacted, and the complexity of the case. Dr. Himanshi Sawlani can provide a more specific estimate after examining the tooth and reviewing any required diagnostic images.
Some swelling, soreness, or discomfort can occur after wisdom tooth surgery. Recovery varies from person to person and depends on the complexity of the procedure. Following the post-operative instructions provided by Dr. Himanshi Sawlani can help support proper healing.
