Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Wisdom Tooth Extraction in Jerusalem – Safe, Precise & Advanced Surgical Care

At Sreter Clinic in Jerusalem, we provide advanced wisdom tooth extractions, including simple extractions, surgical removals, and impacted wisdom teeth treatment using modern technology, digital imaging, and precise treatment planning.

Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to erupt, usually between the ages of 17 and 25. In many cases, they do not have enough space to erupt properly, which can lead to pain, swelling, infection, pressure on adjacent teeth, and long-term complications.

Our goal is to remove problematic wisdom teeth safely, comfortably, and with minimal trauma while preserving the surrounding tissues and promoting faster healing.

When should wisdom teeth be removed?

Wisdom tooth extraction may be recommended when there is:

• Pain or discomfort

• Swelling or infection

• Partial eruption

• Impacted wisdom teeth

• Pressure on neighboring teeth

• Tooth decay

• Gum inflammation

• Cysts or bone damage

• Orthodontic concerns

• Difficulty cleaning the area

In many cases, early evaluation can prevent more serious problems later.

Impacted wisdom teeth

Impacted wisdom teeth are teeth that are trapped inside the jawbone or gums and cannot erupt properly.

This may cause:

• Chronic pain

• Infection

• Damage to nearby teeth

• Gum pockets

• Bone loss

• Difficulty opening the mouth

At Sreter Clinic, we use advanced imaging to evaluate the exact position of impacted wisdom teeth and plan the safest removal possible.

Advanced diagnosis and digital imaging

Before wisdom tooth extraction, we perform comprehensive evaluation using:

✔ Digital X-rays
✔ Panoramic imaging
✔ 3D CT scans (CBCT) when needed
✔ Full clinical examination

This allows us to assess:

• Tooth position

• Root anatomy

• Proximity to nerves

• Bone structure

• Surgical complexity

Precise planning leads to safer treatment and better healing.

Surgical wisdom tooth extraction

Some wisdom teeth require surgical removal, especially when:

• They are fully impacted

• Positioned sideways

• Close to the nerve

• Covered by bone or gum tissue

• Have complex root anatomy

Surgical extractions are performed carefully under local anesthesia, with a focus on minimizing discomfort and optimizing recovery.

Recovery after wisdom tooth extraction

Most patients recover within a few days to one week.

Aftercare usually includes:

• Rest

• Ice packs

• Pain management

• Soft foods

• Good oral hygiene

• Following post-operative instructions carefully

We provide detailed instructions to help ensure smooth healing.
