Symptoms to Watch Out For

Wisdom teeth are the third and final set of permanent adult teeth. They typically emerge in your late teens to mid-twenties, though this can vary. Some people never develop wisdom teeth, while others get them early or late. While some wisdom teeth erupt without causing issues, many require removal due to potential complications.

When Should Wisdom Teeth Be Removed?

Wisdom teeth may need to be extracted if:

  • They’re growing in crooked or are stuck against another tooth
  • There’s not enough space, causing crowding or pain
  • Their position makes cleaning difficult, leading to decay
  • They become impacted and prone to infection

The Wisdom Tooth Removal Process

Wisdom teeth can be removed by your general dentist or, in more complex cases, by an oral surgeon. The process begins with a detailed exam to determine your unique treatment needs.

Examining Your Teeth

Before booking your extraction, we’ll take a close look at your teeth and jaw. X-rays help us assess how your wisdom teeth are coming in and what your roots look like. Based on this, we’ll determine whether you need a simple extraction or surgery. Our goal is to avoid surprises and keep you well-informed.

The Removal Procedure

We’ll discuss your options ahead of time, including whether local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia is right for you. Using minimally invasive techniques, your wisdom teeth will be removed as gently as possible. We’ll make sure you’re comfortable every step of the way.

Aftercare

You may need someone to drive you home and stay with you as you begin your recovery. We’ll provide aftercare instructions to help you heal quickly and comfortably. If you have any questions afterward, don’t hesitate to call.

Cost of Wisdom Tooth Removal in Kitchener

Costs vary depending on your specific case. With insurance, a simple extraction may cost around $100–$200 per tooth. Without insurance, you might expect to pay between $200 and $600+ per tooth.

There are two main types of extractions:

Simple Tooth Extraction. For wisdom teeth that have fully erupted and can be removed without surgery.

Surgical Tooth Extraction.  For impacted or partially erupted teeth or those with complications. These are more complex and come at a higher cost.

It’s important to have an in-person evaluation to determine your treatment needs. A Dentist in Kitchener, ON will assess your case and provide clear guidance and options tailored to you.

I had an excellent experience ! I went in with a lot of pain due to a wisdom tooth problem and was nervous about the whole process. The staff were incredibly kind, professional, and made sure I felt comfortable from start to finish. The dentist took the time to clearly explain what was happening with my tooth and how the extraction would work. The procedure itself was quick and much smoother than I expected. They also gave me great aftercare tips to manage the healing process. I was especially impressed by how well they handled my situation they paid extra attention to my needs and made sure everything was safe and carefully monitored. A big thank you to the entire team — I can finally sleep again without pain! I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone needing dental care or wisdom tooth removal.
