When wisdom teeth need to come out
Most patients need wisdom teeth removed between ages 17 and 25, before the roots are fully formed. Common reasons: impaction (the tooth can't fully erupt), crowding adjacent teeth, infection or cysts, or repeated gum inflammation.
Sedation options
We perform wisdom tooth removal under local anesthetic, with nitrous oxide (laughing gas) sedation for added comfort. For more complex cases, IV sedation is available with our anesthetist.
What recovery looks like
Mild swelling and soreness for 2–4 days. Most patients return to school or office work within 3 days. Avoid hard, crunchy, or sticky foods for the first week and don't smoke during healing.
Cost and insurance
Wisdom-tooth removal is covered by most Canadian dental plans, including CDCP. We provide a written estimate before surgery. Beautifi financing is available for any out-of-pocket costs.
Booking a consultation
We start with a panoramic X-ray or 3D scan to see the position of the teeth. From there we explain your options. Call (289) 755-2568 to book a consultation.
