DENTIST IN WILANÓW, WARSAW
Impacted tooth removal
An impacted tooth is one that has not fully erupted or has stayed inside the bone – most often a wisdom tooth, less often a canine. It may cause no symptoms, but it can lead to gum inflammation, pressure on the neighbouring tooth, decay in a hard-to-reach place or a cyst.
Who provides treatment? The consultation, treatment plan and prosthetic restoration are provided by Dr Joanna Chodorowska. Surgical procedures are performed by an oral surgeon. Call us – reception will arrange an appointment and explain the next steps: +48 735 967 875.
When should it be removed?
Not every impacted tooth needs to come out. We decide after an examination and a panoramic X-ray, and – when the tooth lies close to a nerve or the sinus – after a CBCT scan. Removal is mainly needed for teeth that cause recurring inflammation, damage the neighbouring tooth or get in the way of planned treatment.
What it involves
The procedure is done under local anaesthesia. It usually requires a small incision in the gum and stitches, which are removed after about a week. For a few days you may have swelling and difficulty opening your mouth wide – you will receive instructions on how to manage this.
COMPREHENSIVE TREATMENT
A single treatment is often part of a larger treatment plan. If several teeth are affected, it is best to start with a comprehensive consultation – the result is a plan with stages and costs. Prices for selected treatments are in our price list.
