Nervous about wisdom teeth? Experience safe, comfortable wisdom teeth removal in London, Ontario, with sedation options and expert aftercare to put you at ease.
At Oakridge Dental Care, Dr. Dhruv provides safe, comfortable wisdom teeth extractions, with a focus on making the experience as smooth and stress-free as possible for patients across London, Ontario. Wisdom teeth typically emerge between ages 17 and 25 but often lack enough room to grow properly, leading to pain, infection, or damage to nearby teeth. Our team specializes in managing both straightforward and complex impacted cases with a calm, patient-first approach.
Teeth that stay stuck in the gums or jawbone can cause significant pain, swelling, and discomfort.
Erupting wisdom teeth can push against and harm surrounding teeth, leading to misalignment and bite issues.
Wisdom teeth develop inside a sac in the jawbone. If that sac fills with fluid, it can form a cyst that damages nearby nerves, teeth, and bone.
Hard-to-reach wisdom teeth make brushing and flossing tough — raising your risk of inflammation, cavities, and gum disease.
Crowding and pressure from erupting wisdom teeth can contribute to recurring headaches and jaw stiffness.
Wisdom tooth extraction is a routine procedure performed with local anesthesia or sedation for a comfortable, stress-free experience.
