Wisdom Tooth Extraction in Whitefield —
Safe, Swift Removal of Impacted Third Molars
That dull ache at the back of your jaw? The swelling that comes and goes? Your wisdom tooth is telling you something — and ignoring it gives the infection more room to spread into the bone and toward the adjacent molar.
Extraction
Wisdom tooth extraction is a surgical or non-surgical procedure to remove third molars that are impacted, partially erupted, infected, or causing damage to adjacent teeth. At Smile Stories in Whitefield, Bangalore, We perform both simple and surgical extractions under local anaesthesia with minimal tissue trauma techniques. The procedure takes 20-45 minutes per tooth. Recovery typically takes 5-7 days.
When You Need Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Six signs it’s time to have your wisdom tooth assessed and removed.
Recurring Pain & Swelling
Pericoronitis — inflammation of the gum tissue around a partially erupted wisdom tooth — causes repeated episodes of pain, swelling, and difficulty opening your mouth.
Food Trapping Causing Decay
A partially erupted or angled wisdom tooth creates a pocket where food and bacteria accumulate, causing decay on the adjacent second molar.
Growing Sideways
Mesioangular or horizontal impaction pushes against the second molar, potentially causing root resorption or decay.
Limited Jaw Opening (Trismus)
Severe pericoronitis or infection causes trismus (limited jaw opening), making eating and speaking extremely difficult.
Nervous About Removal
The longer you wait, the more the roots develop — making future extraction more complex.
Cyst Developing
Untreated impacted wisdom teeth can develop dentigerous cysts that silently destroy surrounding bone.
How We Perform Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Five precise steps to a pain-free recovery.
Clinical Examination & OPG X-Ray
We assess the wisdom tooth’s position, angulation, root development, and proximity to the inferior alveolar nerve using a panoramic X-ray.
Extraction Classification & Risk Discussion
We explain whether your case is a simple or surgical extraction and discuss the procedure, recovery timeline, and any specific risks.
Local Anaesthesia & Atraumatic Extraction
Under complete local anaesthesia, we extract the tooth using elevation and minimal bone removal techniques.
Socket Management & Suturing
The extraction socket is thoroughly debrided, irrigated, and sutured to promote clot formation and prevent dry socket.
Post-Operative Instructions & Medication
You receive a detailed recovery protocol covering diet, ice application, medication schedule, and warning signs. Follow-up scheduled within 5-7 days.
