Wisdom Tooth Extraction
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.
Our advantages:
- Complete comfort: We use modern anesthetic techniques, including general anesthesia, and offer a comfortable recovery experience in a massage chair.
- Experienced specialist: Our head surgeon, Dr. Igor Tkachenko, is a skilled expert, ensuring professional care in even the most complex cases.
- Fast and smooth recovery: Personalized treatment plans and aftercare instructions ensure a quick recovery and minimize the risk of complications.
Patient Reviews:
After unsuccessful implantation of two teeth and installation of veneers in another clinic, I found myself in a very difficult situation. The implants were installed incorrectly, inflammation began, and cracks appeared on the veneers. Unfortunately, that clinic soon declared bankruptcy and closed, leaving me with serious problems.
Luckily, I contacted the Merrhof clinic and got to the wonderful doctor Vadim Pacatsila. The work ahead was difficult and long, but the result exceeded all expectations! Everything was done professionally, carefully and with attention to detail. I am very grateful to the doctor for his skill, patience and high quality of work.
I would also like to thank the entire staff of the clinic - they really care about patients and create an atmosphere of trust and comfort. If you are looking for a clinic that values quality and is responsible for the result - I definitely recommend Merrhof!

Suur aitäh heade sõnade eest! 
I underwent a professional hygienic cleaning procedure in your clinic and was very pleased. I would like to express my gratitude to the hygienist for his attentiveness, accuracy and high qualifications - the procedure was comfortable, painless and with an excellent result. I would also like to especially note the work of the assistant: the support throughout the entire procedure created an additional feeling of confidence and comfort. Thank you for caring about patients and your professional approach!

Спасибо вам за отзыв! Очень рады, что процедура прошла комфортно и оставила приятные впечатления! 
My case was not an easy one. One tooth has already been replaced four times in different clinics. And he started to worry again. At Meerhof Dental, I first had a consultation with Dr. Volkov. After the examination, he explained that the doctors, unfortunately, did not complete the canal treatment. It was decided to remove the problematic tooth, then replace it and give a couple more teeth an aesthetic appearance. The operation was performed by Dr. Zaitsev. Everything went well. Considering that in ten days I had to fly away. Subsequent treatment and prosthetics were carried out by Dr. Pacatsila. Thank you very much, the teeth are like family. Result 100%.
Very pleasant service, from the moment you walk in the door to the moment you leave, you feel cared for.
My favourite dental clinic. Always very professional service and no pain. They also did an amazing job with quite an extensive surgery on my gums. Highly recommended!
I chose Meerhof Dental Center after another dentist in Tallinn recommended them to me. The reason for my visit was that I needed a dental surgery with implants and bone reconstruction. The Meerhof team handled everything highly professional, and they were always kind. Even tho there was a language barrier, they took their time to explain everything to me and repeated when I had questions. I'm truly thankful, and would entrust Dr. Igor Tkachenko and Dr. Nikolai Zaitsev anytime.
I wrote this review one day after the surgery.

I would like to say a huge thank you to my wonderful orthodontist Valentina! Treatment with aligners is very convenient! Everything goes smoothly and completely painlessly. The treatment plan is written out clearly, like clockwork, and the doctor always explains everything so carefully that there are simply no doubts or questions left. With you, treatment is pleasure, not stress!
And special thanks to the magical Doctor Tkachenko! I was so worried before installing the screw, I was already preparing for pain and “burning sensations,” but in the end I didn’t even understand how it all went!
Your hands are just magic, honestly!

I had my teeth cleaned and was pleased with the new technology which made my teeth much cleaner and whiter. In addition, I received a special mouthwash to rinse and treat my teeth. Many thanks!
They were deceivers, they said and quoted one price, but in the end I paid 2 times more.!!!!
If you’re looking for high-quality dental care with excellent service, I highly recommend Meerhof Dental Center.
Their best-in-class equipment and cutting-edge technology truly set them apart. The dentist and team were incredibly thorough, taking the time to explain everything clearly and ensuring I felt comfortable throughout the entire process. I truly appreciated their attention to detail and gentle approach during the treatment.
Thank you for making what is usually a stressful visit so pleasant and painless!

I had an exceptional experience at Meerhof Dental Clinic with Dr. Alexander Savchenko. From start to finish, everything was absolutely amazing! Dr. Savchenko is not only highly skilled but also incredibly attentive and professional, making the entire process comfortable and stress-free. The clinic itself is spotless and equipped with modern technology, creating a welcoming and reassuring environment. I couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend Meerhof Dental Clinic and Dr. Savchenko to anyone looking for top-notch dental care!
An excellent clinic with the best specialists in their field. The fear of the dentist disappears immediately because the staff are extremely caring and friendly.
Excellent service - friendly, welcoming and polite staff, good specialists! I had wisdom teeth removed and gum surgery done under general anesthesia, everything went well, after the procedure I received all the necessary medications and recommendations. I was very pleased with the choice of the clinic I contacted. The quality is top notch!
The professionals at Meerhof Clinic are amazing. I’m very happy that I chose to have my surgery here for the removal of complex wisdom teeth and implantation. It’s the second day after the surgery, and I’m feeling good – minimal pain and slight swelling in my cheeks. I’m very satisfied! I had been putting this off due to a negative experience with the removal of two other wisdom teeth at other clinics.
Great thanks for helping me resolve the wisdom teeth problems that bothered me for almost 8 years till now.
Originally I was scared about extraction, especially after hearing many other people’s miserable experiences about such treatment elsewhere, many times. But with Meerhof I’ve never encountered any of those after the treatment. I got one horizontal wisdom tooth and two broken wisdom teeth, which led to need of removal of all four in once. It was performed under general anesthesia and I basically just felt like having taken a nap…and after waking up everything’s done. I could start eating ordinarily (without things too harsh) after three days.
Due to pharyngitis, for me I experienced two to three days sore throat and running nose symptoms as a result from oxygen tube insertion. But they are no different than having caught a mild cold, and they will gone easily if you keep taking the medications prescribed by the clinic following their suggestions (every 6 hrs) afterwards. You don’t need to pay any extra fees for these medications. And if you don’t have pharyngitis or nosebleeds concerns then I guess you may won’t experience these.
Just be careful with your tongue when you wake up from anesthesia. Don’t speak instantly otherwise you may bite your tongue…. And if you have carsickness then on that day try avoiding taking transportation for long as the reaction can be stronger. (But I really sincerely appreciate the clinic helped me ordered a Bolt drive back home with them paying the bill.) 💛
Overall it’s a good experience. The price of treatment might seem higher than some other clinics, but their service quality indeed deserves it. I won’t hesitate to recommend Meerhof to all my acquaintances who also need to deal with their wisdom teeth problems.
Thank you to Dr Igor and Nikolai, and all the other nurses/assistants who had participated in my surgery process (I really don’t remember any single thing from it so don’t know who you all are, sorry for that 🙁 ), and other admin people who guided me throughout the process. I sincerely appreciate everything.

Best dental care I've had. Been there many times and will continue to go. They offer accurate, functional approach to dental issues. Always pain-free visits, even when it's a difficult problem. Very considerate, professional, and multidisclipinary team who make you feel safe and relaxed, and solve your case with accuracy and care. They have all the latest dental technology in use and they also train other dental professionals. Book your visit without a hesitation.
Dear dental clinic! I really like your attitude towards patients! Friendly staff! Wonderful doctors! The office is beautifully decorated, clean and comfortable! I come to you with pleasure and everything suits me! Good luck to your entire team!
A clinic where doctors are gurus in their field. Solved all my dental problems. I recommend it to everyone!
Wonderful clinic. Very reverent doctors. I am very glad I came to this clinic and I recommend it to everyone! Service at a high level. And most importantly for me, the doctors are not trying to remove, but to do the best they can! Thank you MeerhofDC!
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! =)

Pleasant and professional doctors! I am always happy to come back and recommend to others!

Wonderful clinic with first class service! From the very first visit, I was pleasantly surprised by the attentive attitude towards patients and the high level of professionalism. Doctors talk in detail about all procedures, which helps relieve unnecessary anxiety. Thank you for your concern!
I just finished my long lasting transplantation and treatment plan. Based on experience can only praise Meerhof clinic and it's professionals who are always for a great, friendly and highest quality service! Can undoubtedly recommend Meerhof DC to anyone.
Wonderful clinic!

The clinic is at the highest level. The doctors are attentive and responsive. Great staff, prompt feedback. Better not, just be yourself.
The best clinic and the best staff, always attentive to their clients. Service at a high level.
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.
My best experience with dentists in Estonia. Teeth removal under sedation was painless and efficient. Great service and friendly staff.
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.
Good morning!
It was my first time at your clinic, and I was very pleased with the attitude and professional approach of Dr. Eric Kangur, who advised me in great detail about the treatment plan.

The hardest thing is to correct someone's poorly done work, but for the doctors of this clinic nothing is impossible! Thank you so much for the brilliant smile!
Wonderful clinic! I have experience in prosthetics and orthodontics. Experienced and helpful staff, convenient location and parking.
I liked everything very much. The staff is simply wonderful. The doctor explains everything in detail. I recommend this clinic to everyone. This is the best dental clinic in Estonia.
My son goes to this clinic, and when he came home, he tells me how qualified the doctors are, it feels like they are professionals, he really likes them. Thank you very much 😘
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.
At the Meerhof clinic I had a lot of dental work done. Everything was organized in two days. I was more than pleased with the results. I have never seen such a combination of professionalism, highly qualified specialists and service in any clinic.
I trust my dental health only to specialists from Meerhof dental clinics.

Kulak and all the wonderful assistants and administrators who make the Meerhof team so soulful ❤️
