Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Wisdom tooth extraction: Everything you need to know

Wisdom tooth extraction is a surgical procedure aimed at preventing future dental and oral health issues.

Why is wisdom tooth extraction necessary?

Wisdom teeth that do not emerge properly or grow in the wrong direction can cause various problems, including pain, gum inflammation, damage to neighboring teeth, and even cysts or tumors. Impacted wisdom teeth, which are trapped beneath the gum or bone, can lead to serious infections and other complications. In such cases, it is recommended to remove the wisdom teeth.

How is wisdom tooth extraction performed?

Step 1: Diagnosis and Consultation

The first step involves taking X-rays to assess the position of the wisdom teeth and surrounding areas. Based on this, the dentist will create a personalized treatment plan, considering the location of the wisdom teeth and the patient’s overall health.

Step 2: Wisdom Tooth Removal

The extraction can be a simple tooth pull or a surgical procedure, depending on the tooth’s position. For more difficult teeth, an incision is made in the gum or bone to access the tooth. After removal, the area is cleaned, and stitches are placed if necessary.

Wisdom tooth extraction under general anesthesia

General anesthesia is recommended for more complex extractions or for patients with significant dental anxiety. Under general anesthesia, the patient is completely unconscious, allowing the dentist to perform the extraction without the patient feeling any pain or discomfort. This approach is particularly useful when multiple wisdom teeth need to be removed at once.

Advantages of general anesthesia:

  • Pain-free and comfortable experience: The patient is fully relaxed and pain-free during the procedure.
  • Faster and more efficient process: The dentist can perform more complex surgeries without the patient feeling any discomfort.
  • Ideal for anxiety or fear: General anesthesia is perfect for patients who experience significant dental anxiety.

Recovery and aftercare:

Recovery after wisdom tooth extraction is generally quick, though mild swelling and discomfort may occur in the first few days. The dentist will provide detailed instructions on how to care for your oral hygiene and diet during the recovery period.
Recovery from anesthesia: After the procedure, the patient relaxes in a comfortable massage chair until the effects of anesthesia fully wear off. This ensures a smooth and safe recovery while reducing the risk of complications.
The healing process varies depending on the number of teeth removed and the complexity of the surgery. Full recovery typically takes about a week, with symptoms significantly improving within a few days.

An amazingly high-tech clinic! It feels like stepping into Elon Musk's research department 🙂 That's why I've been coming here for years to take care of my teeth. The doctors are incredibly kind and responsive. The receptionists are just gold! They always call or send an SMS to remind you of your appointment, and this really helps sometimes when you forget. Free parking is definitely a plus these days, especially in the Song Festival Grounds area.I've had a hygiene cleaning done here (by Julia Ljubtšenko), root canal treatment (by Dr. Vladimir Volkov), and a complex implant procedure with bone and gum augmentation, all under general anesthesia (just fell asleep and woke up with new teeth). For that, I'm incredibly grateful to the surgeon Dr. Igor Tkachenko and the incredibly cheerful anesthesiologist Dr. Nikolai Zaitsev.What earned my trust in this clinic was that during my first visit, they conducted a very thorough examination (felt like astronaut training). They took photos from different angles, did a 3D X-ray, a 3D scan, and later performed some sort of gnathological study (this was to ensure the jaw joint was in the correct position). So, I walked out of the clinic thinking, "Well, okay. What's next?" Another day, they provided me with a large set of documents containing a detailed treatment plan. If you've ever seen project documentation for building a house, it's very similar. They also explained everything and showed me a visualization of my future teeth, right on my own photo. I think this approach was the key factor for me.And they also offer delicious coffee to go! =)

The best dental clinic I have ever visited. The customer service is top notch, with all of the staff being helpful and very polite. I visited Dr. Volkov with a nasty tooth pain after a failed filling done by another doctor. Dr. Volkov suggested to conduct root canal treatment, which immediately removed the pain. This particular root canal prodecure was very difficult (upper back molar), however, Dr. Volkov used his knowledge and experience to complete it successfully. I absolutely suggest Dr. Volkov if you have any kind of tooth pain. I also love that there is free parking and that the clinic works on Saturdays.

I did orthodontic treatment in Meerhof clinic with doctor Valentina Kulak and it is the best experience I've ever had. I didn't have criteria for choosing clinic for my treatment except the timing. Meerhof was able to schedule an appointment in 2 weeks while others mentioned waiting times of at least 6 months for orthodontic treatment, so my choice was obvious. In addition to orthodontic treatment I also did teeth cleaning and whitening. I am very happy with result and with the process - every process was well explained, done with high precision and using high quality equipment. Valentina is very professional and friendly - every visit was always pleasant. All staff members take good care of their clients, the clinic has nice and cozy interior. It might be pricier than other dental clinics, but the quality is worth it.

Getting my wisdom teeth removed was such a positive experience! From the initial consultation to the actual procedure and follow-up care, everything went smoothly. The dentist and their team were incredibly professional and reassuring throughout the entire process. The actual removal itself was surprisingly quick and painless. I was impressed by how efficiently the dentist worked while still ensuring my comfort and well-being. After the procedure, the staff provided clear instructions for post-operative care, which made recovery much easier. I experienced minimal discomfort and swelling. I would highly recommend this clinic, with such professionals in it as dr.Igor Tkachenko and dr. Anastasia Tonkikh.
