Relieve pain, prevent infection, and protect your long-term oral health with wisdom teeth removal at BioDental. Impacted or problematic wisdom teeth can cause crowding, inflammation, jaw discomfort, and damage to neighboring teeth. Our biomimetic, no-metal approach focuses on gentle, precise care that supports natural healing and long-lasting results.
Prevent Pain and Future Dental Complications
Wisdom teeth removal is a common oral surgical procedure that involves extracting one or more third molars, typically located at the back of the mouth. These teeth often lack sufficient space to erupt properly, which can lead to impaction, pain, infection, gum inflammation, cyst formation, and damage to nearby teeth. Removing problematic wisdom teeth helps prevent future complications while protecting the health, alignment, and stability of your natural smile.
At BioDental, extractions are performed efficiently, often in just minutes, using a biomimetic approach that helps conserve the surrounding structures while supporting natural healing.
Signs Indicating You May Need Wisdom Teeth Removal:
- Persistent pain or pressure in the back of the jaw
- Swelling, redness, or tenderness of the gums around molars
- Recurrent infections or bad taste near the back teeth
- Difficulty opening the mouth fully or jaw stiffness
- Headaches or ear pain related to jaw tension
- Crowding or shifting of nearby teeth
- Damage or decay affecting adjacent molars
- Food trapping around partially erupted wisdom teeth
Why Remove Wisdom Teeth Proactively
Removing wisdom teeth proactively helps prevent future complications before they become painful, complex, or cause other problems. Even symptom-free wisdom teeth can be impacted beneath the gums, creating hidden infection, cysts, bone loss, or damage to neighboring teeth. Early removal is typically easier, faster, and associated with smoother healing.
At BioDental, a conservative, biomimetic philosophy guides treatment planning to protect the healthy structures of your teeth. Proactive care supports long-term oral health, reduces the likelihood of emergency procedures, and preserves the integrity of your smile.

What is the Wisdom Teeth Removal Process?
Your visit begins with a comprehensive exam and 3D digital imaging to map the position of each wisdom tooth, nearby nerves, and surrounding bone. Dr. Matian reviews this data and creates a conservative plan. After numbing the area or providing sedation, a small opening is made in the gum to access the tooth. If needed, the tooth is sectioned into smaller pieces for gentle removal. If needed, protective measures are implemented to promote stable clot formation and healing.
Wisdom Teeth Removal FAQs
How long does the wisdom teeth removal procedure take?
The actual removal of wisdom teeth is often very quick, especially when performed by an experienced provider. In fact, Dr. Matian often removes all four wisdom teeth in approximately 90 seconds in straightforward cases. The total appointment time typically ranges from 20 to 45 minutes, depending on tooth position, level of impaction, and anesthesia needs. Your visit also includes time for preparation, numbing or sedation, and detailed post-procedure instructions.
What are the risks of not removing wisdom teeth?
Problematic wisdom teeth can lead to infections, gum disease, cysts, bone loss, crowding, and damage to adjacent teeth. Even impacted teeth that are not causing symptoms can develop issues over time. Proactive evaluation and treatment help reduce these risks.
How long does recovery take?
Initial healing typically occurs within three to five days, while full tissue healing continues over the next one to two weeks. Swelling usually peaks within the first 48 hours and then steadily improves. Following aftercare instructions, such as avoiding straws, smoking, and vigorous rinsing, plays a major role in ensuring smooth healing and preventing complications.
