Wisdom Teeth Removal in London, Ontario
Safe and Comfortable Wisdom Teeth Extraction
Why remove wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, often emerge in the late teens or early twenties. For many people, there isn’t enough space in the jaw to accommodate these teeth, leading to pain, crowding, and potential infections. At Village Walk Family Dental, we provide safe and efficient wisdom teeth removal to prevent complications and protect your oral health. Our team ensures a comfortable experience with expert care and sedation options to keep you at ease.
✅ Prevents overcrowding – Stops wisdom teeth from shifting and misaligning your smile.
✅ Reduces pain and discomfort – Eases pressure on surrounding teeth and gums.
✅ Avoids infections – Impacted wisdom teeth can trap bacteria, leading to gum infections.
✅ Protects oral health – Prevents damage to adjacent teeth and bone structure.
Removing wisdom teeth before they cause issues can help maintain a healthier, pain-free smile.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do all wisdom teeth need to be removed?
Not always. If your wisdom teeth are healthy, fully erupted, and don’t cause problems, they may not need extraction.
What is the recovery time?
Most patients recover within a few days, though swelling and mild discomfort may last up to a week.
Is wisdom teeth removal painful?
We use local anesthesia or sedation to ensure a pain-free procedure. Any post-extraction discomfort is manageable with medication and proper care.
At what age should wisdom teeth be removed?
Removal is often recommended in the late teens or early twenties before complications arise, but it can be done later if needed.
