Surgical wisdom tooth extraction (alveotomy)
When a wisdom tooth does not have enough room to erupt properly, causes discomfort, or threatens surrounding tissues, its surgical removal may be necessary.
CANDIDATES
When should a wisdom tooth be extracted?
Wisdom teeth do not need to be removed just because they exist. If they have erupted properly, are healthy, and can be kept clean, monitoring them is often sufficient.
Extraction may be recommended if:
Extraction may be recommended if:
-
The wisdom tooth causes recurring pain or inflammation
-
It has only partially sprouted and is difficult to maintain.
-
grow at an incorrect angle
-
presses against or damages the adjacent tooth
-
cavities or gum disease develops around the wisdom tooth
-
There is a cyst or other tooth-related lesion
-
His position poses a problem for the planned therapy.
What is an alveotomy?
Alveotomy is a surgical procedure used to remove a tooth that is partially or completely embedded within the bone or cannot be extracted by standard methods due to its position.
During the procedure, the tooth is accessed through the gum, and if necessary, a small amount of surrounding bone is removed or the tooth is divided into parts so that it can be carefully extracted.
The scope of the procedure depends on the position of the wisdom tooth, the shape of the roots, and its relationship to surrounding anatomical structures.

Does every wisdom tooth have to be extracted?
No. A fully erupted, healthy, properly positioned wisdom tooth that can be well maintained does not necessarily require extraction.
For partially erupted or impacted wisdom teeth, the decision is made based on symptoms, findings, and the risk to surrounding teeth and tissues.
That is why the specific situation is evaluated before the procedure, and not just the fact that it is a wisdom tooth.

DC360 PROCESS
What does wisdom tooth extraction look like?
01
Review and diagnostics
We assess the position of the wisdom teeth and, if necessary, analyze an orthopantomogram or additional scan.
02
Procedure planning
We explain the tooth position, the expected scope of the procedure, and potential risks.
03
Local anesthesia
The area is anesthetized before the procedure begins.
04
Surgical removal
The wisdom tooth is removed using an approach tailored to its position in the jaw.
05
Disposal and instructions
The area is cleaned and, if necessary, closed with stitches. You receive recovery instructions, and a follow-up visit and removal of stitches are scheduled as needed.

The decision is based on symptoms, clinical examination, and the position of the tooth on the radiograph. A wisdom tooth without problems does not always need to be removed.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. After the procedure, pain, swelling, and limited mouth opening may occur, especially after more complex extractions.
The most pronounced symptoms are usually present during the first few days, while healing takes longer. Recovery depends on the complexity of the procedure and individual reaction.
The swelling may increase during the first few days and then gradually decrease. The exact course varies among patients.
After the anesthesia wears off, softer food and chewing on the opposite side are usually recommended, along with following the instructions provided.
For certain lower wisdom teeth, a three-dimensional scan can help more precisely assess their relationship to important anatomical structures.
No. Each wisdom tooth is evaluated individually based on position, symptoms, and potential risk.
If the pain suddenly intensifies after initial improvement, pronounced swelling, fever, heavy bleeding, or other unusual symptoms appear, it is necessary to contact a doctor.
