While modern dentistry focuses on prevention and preservation, sometimes removing a tooth is the healthiest option for long-term oral health.

Although saving a natural tooth is always the goal, extraction is sometimes the best solution to eliminate pain or prevent further complications. This is especially the case for wisdom teeth. Wisdom teeth, or third molars, usually appear between ages 16 and 25. For many people in Canada, the jaw simply doesn’t have enough room for these teeth to erupt safely. When this happens, the teeth may grow at an angle, remain fully or partially trapped beneath the gums, or push against surrounding teeth.
A gentle removal may be recommended if:
Without treatment, this can lead to several oral health complications:
Removing these teeth early is often recommended to protect long-term oral health and prevent more complex problems later in life.
Many patients feel anxious about extraction, which is completely normal. Aurora Sky Dental offers multiple comfort-enhancing approaches, including local anesthetic, oral sedation options, and a calm, supportive environment, to help make your visit smooth and pain-free.
By combining clear communication with effective sedation choices, our dental team ensures you feel confident and cared for throughout your procedure.
While individual extractions are common, one of the most frequent, and most important reasons patients visit our Regina clinic is for wisdom teeth removal. Wisdom teeth are unique because they often cause problems long before they fully emerge, making early evaluation essential.
Once a patient understands general extraction care and healing expectations, we naturally shift toward discussing third molar management. This is where wisdom teeth expertise matters most.
Not all wisdom teeth require extraction. Some erupt normally and align without causing problems. However, many patients develop impacted wisdom teeth, meaning the teeth are partially or fully trapped beneath bone or gum tissue.
Each situation requires a different approach to wisdom teeth removal, which is why Dr. Patel uses x-rays to examine root shape, tooth positioning, and proximity to nerves or sinus pathways before creating your personalized treatment plan.
Your first visit for wisdom tooth concerns involves a complete consultation at our Regina dental clinic. Our team reviews your symptoms, examines the area, and performs x-rays to determine:
During this visit, general dentists like Dr. Patel take time to explain the findings, answer your questions, and ensure you feel confident about the next steps.
Our clinic provides safe, comfortable wisdom teeth extraction using a combination of gentle techniques, modern imaging, and options for anesthesia.
Most wisdom teeth can be removed comfortably using a local anesthetic, which numbs the area and prevents pain during the procedure.
For anxious patients or complex cases, additional sedation options may be available to help you stay relaxed throughout the procedure.
During the extraction:
Afterward, Dr. Patel provides clear instructions for at-home recovery, diet adjustments, and follow-up care.
Patients often come to our clinic with symptoms such as:
These issues are common in impacted wisdom teeth and may worsen without treatment. If you experience these symptoms, it’s important to request appointment and have the area evaluated by a Regina dentist.
Most patients between ages 16 and 30 benefit from early evaluation to determine whether extraction is needed. You may be a candidate if:
Our general dentists will evaluate your unique situation and determine whether extraction is appropriate.
Healing time varies from patient to patient, but most people recover comfortably within 3–7 days. During this period, it’s important to follow the recommended post-operative instructions. Using ice to reduce swelling, avoiding smoking or straws, eating soft foods, keeping the area clean, and taking any prescribed or recommended medication. In some cases, attending follow-up dental care appointments helps ensure proper healing. Following these guidelines supports quicker recovery and reduces the risk of complications.
Removing problematic wisdom teeth can also simplify future dental procedures by creating a healthier, more predictable foundation for long-term care. For example, dental implants often require stable bone free from impacted molars, dentures tend to fit better when the back molars aren’t compromised, and adjacent teeth are less likely to require a root canal when pressure from wisdom teeth is eliminated. Extraction can also help preserve orthodontic results by preventing shifting or crowding. For these reasons, your treatment plan may include wisdom teeth removal if additional restorative or cosmetic procedures are being considered.
