How to pictures show wisdom teeth removal surgery and teaches technique

Our wisdom teeth removal team includes 16 cosmetic dentists, specialists including two oral surgeons in one high-end office. In particular we are a low-volume office focused on cosmetic dentistry and oral surgery including tooth extraction and dental implants. Therefore our treatment is quick and comfortable. In addition our MD-anesthesiologist offers several options for dental sedation and nitrous oxide laughing gas. We offer intelligent and honest diagnosis based upon 31+ years of experience. Before and after photos on wisdom teeth removal treats gum infections performed in our Extraction Oral Surgery office. In addition another section covers tooth extraction and dental implants.

Wisdom teeth removal technique

How to pictures show extraction technique of a partially erupted lower right wisdom tooth. 1) Tooth #32 is partially erupted above the gums. An incision is made using a #15 scalpel. 2) Pre-op xray. 3) Next step is soft tissue reflection. 4) Then the wisdom tooth is sectioned into pieces using a high speed drill. In particular this helps avoid damaging the adjacent second molar. 5) Wisdom tooth extracted, socket sterilized, and exposed. 6) Sectioned remnants of wisdom tooth. 7) Finally the surrounding tissue sutured using chromic gut 3-0 resorbable sutures. 8) Post-op x-ray.

1) In this case the X-ray shows the impacted upper and lower wisdom teeth. 2) Generally this picture shows the lower impacted wisdom tooth partially submerged below the gums. In particular it is also leaning against the otherwise healthy second molar. Together this will frequently cause gum infection and gum pain.

How to photos. 1) Soft tissue reflection. 2) & 3) Next the molar is sectioned i.e. cut. 4) The molar tooth is split with an elevator. 5) & 6) The split roots are extracted with a lower forceps and an elevator. 7) The extracted tooth in two sections. 8) Closure of the surgical site with stitches.

Early wisdom teeth removal surgery protects the adjacent teeth

An impacted wisdom tooth damages the healthy adjacent tooth. Tooth decay was created in the adjacent tooth by the wisdom tooth growing into it. The patient did not feel tooth pain. Treatment: Root canal and dental crown (the crown covers the area where the tooth decay was removed.

Why early wisdom teeth removal is important

The lower angular impacted wisdom tooth is leaning against the second molar and has caused a huge cavity. The second molar will probably need root canal and a crown to repair it. The patient did not experience gum infection or gum pain.

Why early wisdom teeth removal is important

Why wisdom teeth should be extracted: damage to the adjacent second molar. X-ray series. 1) – 2) Two xrays show an angular impacted mandibular wisdom tooth and pushing into the adjacent second molar causing a large area of tooth decay. 3) This x-ray was taken after the wisdom tooth removal and after the second molar received root canal therapy but with the large distal cavity still present. 4) Cast gold post and core and tooth crown in place. Note the distal crown margin completely covers where the distal dental caries were removed.

Why wisdom teeth removal is necessary even without pain

Explanation about why wisdom tooth extraction should be considered by patients who do not feel tooth pain: damage to the adjacent second molar. These photos show preparation drilling of the second molar to remove the distal tooth decay after root canal therapy was performed on it and the wisdom tooth was removed. Photos 1) – 2) Dental caries is present in the distal area of the second molar. The temporary dental filling material is visible in the occlusal opening following root canal therapy. Photo 3) Decay removed. Photo 4) The temporary filling material is removed and shows gutta percha in root canal orifices prior to cast post and core preparation. Generally this type of problem will not cause gum infection or gum pain.

Rationale for wisdom teeth removal surgery

Damage to the adjacent second molar tooth. 1) This xray shows a mandibular angular impacted wisdom tooth causing a large cavity in the adjacent tooth. 2) Tooth decay is present in the distal area of the second molar. The temporary dental filling material is visible in the occlusal opening following root canal.
