Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom Teeth Removal in Lahore

Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars that typically emerge in your late teens or early twenties. While some people experience no issues, many face problems like impaction, pain, infection, or crowding. We provide expert, pain-free wisdom teeth removal to protect your oral health and prevent future complications.

Wisdom Tooth Removal Process

Wisdom tooth removal is a surgical procedure to extract one or more third molars (wisdom teeth) located at the back of your mouth. Removal becomes necessary if they:

Grow at an angle and press against neighboring teeth (impacted)
Are trapped in the jawbone or gums, causing swelling or infection
Cause crowding, decay, or cyst formation
Erupt partially, creating room for bacteria and infection

Our experienced dentists use advanced techniques and local or general anesthesia to ensure a smooth and comfortable procedure.
