Wisdom Teeth Extractions in Orléans
Gentle, Trusted Care for a Common Dental Milestone
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last set of teeth to emerge often appearing in the late teens or early twenties. While some people experience no issues, many need their wisdom teeth removed due to pain, crowding, or the risk of future complications.
At Orleans Dental Centre, we offer gentle and precise wisdom tooth extractions with your comfort and safety as our top priorities. Whether you’re experiencing symptoms or seeking preventative care, we’re here to help you through the process with clarity and compassion.
Why Remove Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth often don’t have enough room to erupt properly, which can lead to:
- Impaction (trapped under the gums or jawbone)
- Infection or inflammation of the surrounding tissue
- Damageto nearby teeth or dental work
- Crowding or shifting of other teeth
- Cysts or jawbone damage
Preventive removal is often recommended before these problems arise especially during the late teens or early twenties when roots are still developing.

What to Expect During Your Wisdom Tooth Removal
Consultation & Imaging
We review your dental history and take digital x-rays to evaluate tooth position, root development, and any signs of impaction.
Treatment Planning
If removal is needed, we’ll walk you through every step of the procedure and discuss anesthesia options to keep you relaxed and pain-free.
The Procedure
Most extractions are performed in our office using local anesthesia, with or without sedation. If your case is complex, we’ll coordinate care with an oral surgery specialist.
Post-Operative Care
We provide detailed instructions for recovery, including how to manage swelling, avoid dry socket, and when to return to normal activities.
Recovery Tips for a Smooth Healing Process
- Rest and avoid strenuous activity for 24–48 hours
- Use ice packs to reduce swelling
- Stick to soft foods like yogurt, smoothies, and soup
- Avoid drinking through straws or smoking to prevent dry socket
- Keep the area clean following our home care guidance
We’ll also schedule a follow-up to check your healing and ensure you’re on track.
Wisdom Tooth Care for Teens and Young Adults
We often recommend wisdom teeth evaluation during routine family dentistry visits, especially for teens. Early detection ensures a smoother, safer experience before problems arise.
