During the preoperative consent conversation with our specially trained dentists, you will be advised extensively on the planned operation, possible complications and the correct behavior after your surgery.
With us, you are in good hands! We are looking forward to your contact.
Wisdom teeth are often referred to by dentists as "the eight" because the third molars are the eighth teeth from the midline in the human dentition. Upon complete breakthrough in the correct position (usually between the age of 18 and 30 years) and enough space in the jaw, they can be useful chewing elements.
In the following cases, the wisdom teeth should be removed:
- Upon lack of space, incomplete breakthrough or poor cleanability
- Upon deep decay by caries or inflammation
- When upon X-ray an inflammation or cyst is found in the jawbone
Upon an early diagnosis that the wisdom teeth can not break through correctly, these should already be removed at a young age. Hereby damage and complications such as caries and resorption of roots of adjacent teeth, as well as abscesses and pus formation in the bone can be prevented.
The used techniques by which we, in the Dental Clinic Lucerne remove wisdom teeth, are determined by the position and shape of your tooth roots. Already erupted wisdom teeth can usually easily be removed. If the wisdom teeth are impacted in the jawbone, surgical removal of wisdom teeth by a gum flap procedure and separation of the tooth is necessary.
Your dentists in the Dental Clinic Lucerne are specialized in complex wisdom tooth extractions. We gladly advise you, if you need a wisdom tooth extraction.
