Seoul Lab Dental Clinic offers professional wisdom tooth (third molar) removal, combining advanced surgical techniques, careful planning, and patient-focused care. We welcome both local residents and international patients in northern Seoul, aiming for comfortable, safe, and efficient extractions.

What Is Wisdom Tooth Removal?

Wisdom tooth removal is a surgical procedure to extract one or more third molars — often required when they are impacted, misaligned, causing pain, infection, or crowding. Because wisdom teeth often grow late and can be partially erupted or mispositioned, their extraction may require careful planning and surgical skill.

When Is Wisdom Tooth Removal Needed?

You may need to remove wisdom teeth when:

  • They are impacted (stuck under gum or bone)
  • They grow at an angle, pushing into adjacent teeth
  • They cause recurring pericoronitis (gum inflammation/infection)
  • They contribute to tooth crowding or alignment issues
  • You experience persistent pain, swelling, or cysts around them
  • Removal is needed prior to orthodontics, implants, or other dental treatment

Our Wisdom Tooth Removal Approach

Pre-operative Assessment & Imaging

We perform panoramic X-rays and sometimes 3D CBCT scans to evaluate the position, root anatomy, proximity to nerves/sinuses, and surgical risk.

Treatment Planning

We select the best approach — simple extraction, surgical removal (gums and bone sectioning), or staged extraction — depending on complexity.

Local Anesthesia & Sedation Options

We ensure patient comfort using local anesthesia; for anxious patients, sedation may be offered (IV sedation or oral sedatives).

Surgical Extraction

  • Incision and flap creation to access tooth
  • Bone removal or sectioning of the tooth if needed
  • Tooth extraction, cleaning of the site, and possible grafting if needed
  • Suturing of soft tissues to promote healing

Post-operative Care & Monitoring

We provide aftercare instructions, pain management, antibiotics as needed, and follow-up visits to check healing and remove stitches.

Recovery & Aftercare

  • Eat soft, non-irritating foods (yogurt, soup, mashed foods)
  • Avoid smoking, alcohol, and using straws (to prevent dry sockets)
  • Maintain gentle oral hygiene around the area
  • Attend follow-up appointments for suture removal and healing checks

Most patients recover within 1–2 weeks, though mild discomfort or swelling may linger.

Risks & Considerations

  • Temporary or rare nerve injury (numbness) depending on wisdom tooth’s relation to nerve
  • Infection or dry socket if postoperative care is not followed
  • Bleeding or swelling
  • Need for bone grafting if removal leaves defects

We carefully assess risks beforehand and follow protocols to minimize complications.
