Book Your Wisdom Teeth Consultation
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, typically emerge between ages 17 and 25. While some individuals experience no issues, many face complications such as:
Impacted Teeth: Teeth that don’t fully emerge can cause pain and infection.
Crowding: New teeth can push existing teeth out of alignment.
Decay and Gum Disease: Hard-to-reach areas are prone to cavities and infections.
Cysts or Tumors: Fluid-filled sacs can form around impacted teeth, leading to jaw damage.
Removing problematic wisdom teeth can prevent these issues and maintain your oral health.
We begin with a thorough examination and X-rays to assess the position of your wisdom teeth and plan the extraction.
Your comfort is our priority. We offer:
Local Anesthesia: Numbs the area around the tooth.
Sedation Options: For anxious patients, we provide oral sedation or IV sedation.
Depending on the tooth’s position:
Simple Extraction: For fully erupted teeth.
Surgical Extraction: For impacted or partially erupted teeth, involving a small incision.
After the procedure, we’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions to promote healing and reduce discomfort.
Recovery time varies, but most patients experience:
Swelling and Mild Discomfort: Typically subsides within a few days.
Dietary Adjustments: Soft foods are recommended for the first 24-48 hours.
Oral Hygiene: Gentle rinsing and avoiding the extraction site help prevent complications.
Our team is available to address any concerns during your recovery.
Experienced Team: Our dentists have extensive experience in wisdom teeth extractions.
Patient-Centered Care: We prioritize your comfort and tailor treatments to your needs.
Modern Technology: State-of-the-art equipment ensures precise and efficient procedures.
Convenient Scheduling: Evening and weekend appointments available.

Wisdom teeth are sort of like natures “second chance” when it comes to maintaining enough of the teeth needed for grinding and chewing our food. In ages past, a person’s life expectancy wasn’t as good as what it is today. And there was also the case of dental diseases and tooth loss, due to lack of care.
Today, we don’t rely very much on wisdom teeth. Why? Because we’re able to better maintain the teeth that we do have. But wisdom teeth still develop, and as a result, they can crowd the healthy ones that are still in your mouth. Since wisdom teeth are essentially non-functional in today’s age, and because there usually isn’t any room for them to erupt properly, it’s common to have these extra teeth taken out (extracted) if and when they start to cause problems.
Our dentists use their expertise in general and cosmetic dentistry to provide the best, most caring care possible. They love answering dental questions and finding the right solutions for all of our patients. If you need a new dentist in SW Calgary that you can trust, Macleod Trail Dental is here to help!
