Oral Surgery
Wisdom teeth — the last molars to emerge, usually in the late teens or twenties — often don't have enough room to come in properly, leading to pain, infection, or damage to neighboring teeth. Removal resolves this permanently.
What It Is
Many people simply don't have enough space at the back of the jaw for wisdom teeth to erupt normally. When that happens, they can come in at an angle, stay partly buried under the gum (impacted), or push against the neighboring molar — any of which can cause pain, swelling, infection, or crowding of teeth nearby.
At Aura, extraction is planned with a digital X-ray to assess the tooth's position and its relationship to nearby nerves before any procedure, so the approach is tailored to your specific anatomy rather than treated as routine and identical for every patient.
Why You May Need This
The Process
The tooth's position, angle, and proximity to nerves is assessed before planning the approach.
The area is fully numbed; sedation options are available for anxious patients or complex cases.
The tooth is carefully removed — straightforward cases are quick; impacted teeth may need a small surgical approach.
The extraction site is cleaned and, if needed, sutured to support healing.
Clear aftercare instructions are given to manage swelling and support smooth healing over the following days.
