What Is an Impacted Tooth?

Impacted teeth are teeth that fail to fully emerge through the gums or remain stuck in an incorrect position within the jawbone. Wisdom teeth (third molars) are the most commonly impacted teeth, but canines and other teeth may also be affected.

Symptoms of Impacted Teeth:

  • Severe pain and swelling

  • Limited jaw movement

  • Gum infection (abscess)

  • Cavities or damage in neighboring teeth


How Is an Impacted Tooth Extracted?

1. Examination and Imaging

  • Detailed clinical examination

  • Digital panoramic X-rays to determine the tooth’s position

2. Surgical Planning

  • Completely painless procedure with local anesthesia

  • Sedation support available for sensitive patients

3. Minimally Invasive Extraction

  • Removal of the tooth with special surgical techniques

  • Stitches applied to promote faster healing

4. Recovery Process

  • Personalized aftercare instructions

  • Controlled healing period


Why Should Impacted Teeth Be Removed?

  • Eliminates pain and infection risk

  • Protects neighboring teeth

  • Preserves jawbone and dental structure

  • Prevents future orthodontic problems

“Even if your impacted tooth isn’t causing pain, it can still pose a risk!”
