Surgical Wisdom Tooth Removal

Surgical Wisdom Tooth Removal

Impacted wisdom teeth can cause pain, infection, and crowding, so we remove them gently using 3D planning, a precise surgical technique, and careful aftercare for a smooth, comfortable recovery.

Wisdom teeth are the last molars to erupt, and when there isn't enough room they become impacted - trapped at an angle beneath the gum or against the neighbouring tooth. Left in place, an impacted wisdom tooth can trigger recurring pain, gum infection, decay in the tooth next to it, and crowding of your other teeth. Surgical wisdom tooth removal resolves these problems at the source by lifting the gum, gently sectioning the tooth where needed, and easing it out in pieces rather than forcing a single large extraction. This sectioning technique protects the surrounding bone and dramatically reduces trauma to the area.

Every removal begins with 3D imaging so our surgical team can map the exact position of the tooth and, crucially, its relationship to the nearby nerves and sinus before any instrument is used. The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, with anaesthesiologist-administered IV sedation available for anxious patients or longer, more complex cases. We use a dedicated surgical kit for clean, controlled access, and the site is closed with fine sutures to support tidy, predictable healing. This combination of precise planning and gentle execution is what keeps recovery short and comfortable.

At Dental Med Austria, wisdom tooth surgery is delivered to premium clinical standards in our Tirana clinic, where careful aftercare is treated as part of the procedure rather than an afterthought. You receive clear written instructions, the medication you need, and a follow-up review to keep healing on track. For international patients, the journey starts before you travel: our free remote assessment lets us review your imaging and build a personalised treatment plan in advance, so you arrive knowing exactly what will happen, how long it will take, and what your recovery looks like.

Initial healing usually takes a few days, during which mild swelling and tenderness are normal and easily managed with the medication and written instructions we provide. We schedule a follow-up review to check the site, and any sutures are removed or dissolve as healing completes.

Ideale per: Patients with impacted, painful, or problematic wisdom teeth that are causing infection, crowding, or pressure on neighbouring teeth.
