Impacted Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Care at university-hospital level, with meticulous extractions
by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon

Definition

Impacted Wisdom Tooth Extraction / Extraction Of Impacted Supernumerary Teeth

Wisdom teeth are the third molars located at the very back of the mouth and usually erupt in the late teens to early twenties. However, if there is insufficient space in the jaw or the tooth is misaligned the "impacted wisdom tooth," which grows buried in the gum, can cause pain, inflammation, cavities, and damage to adjacent teeth. It can lead to various problems. In such cases, professional diagnosis and extraction are necessary.

At Re:Face, we can extract not only impacted wisdom teeth but also supernumerary impacted teeth that need removal before orthodontic treatment. Through a collaborative system of specialists and university-hospital-level facilities, we safely handle complex extractions and high-difficulty cases that normally require treatment at a university hospital.
Management method

Type-Specific Wisdom Tooth Care

Treatment direction varies depending on the wisdom tooth's position and eruption status.

FULLY IMPACTED CASES

01 / Method

The wisdom tooth is completely buried within the gum and bone, even if there is no pain, extraction should be considered. After a panoramic X-ray, a precise diagnosis by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon is required.

PARTIALLY IMPACTED CASE

02 / Method

If only part of the tooth is visible, food and bacteria can easily get trapped, which can cause inflammation or cavities. If pain or swelling recurs, early extraction is recommended.

IF IT GROWS STRAIGHT

03 / Method

If a wisdom tooth is growing straight, it may be manageable, but if the upper and lower wisdom teeth do not fit together properly they can cause wounds or inflammation, so regular check-ups are necessary.
