Who performs wisdom tooth extractions at MMDC?
Wisdom tooth extractions at MMDC are performed by Dr. Chantal Mhanna, our specialist periodontist, and our oral surgery team. Dr. Chantal has extensive experience in surgical extractions including impacted wisdom teeth.
When should wisdom teeth be removed?
Wisdom teeth may need to be removed when they are impacted (unable to fully erupt), causing pain, infection, crowding of adjacent teeth, or cysts. MMDC evaluates wisdom teeth with X-rays to determine whether extraction is necessary.
Is wisdom tooth extraction painful?
The extraction is performed under local anaesthesia at MMDC, so you will not feel pain during the procedure. Some soreness and swelling is normal in the days following surgery. Our team provides detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
