Home / General Dentistry / Tooth Extraction / Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Wisdom teeth usually arrive in the late teens or early twenties, and for many people, there simply isn’t enough room for them. When a wisdom tooth comes in at an angle, gets stuck beneath the gum, or pushes against neighboring teeth, it can cause pain, swelling, and even damage to teeth nearby. At VEGA Medical Center, we specialize in removing problem wisdom teeth safely and comfortably.
From straightforward removals to more complex impacted cases, our team in Al Rigga, Deira uses digital imaging to plan every extraction carefully, so you know exactly what to expect before the procedure begins.
Wisdom tooth extraction is the surgical or simple removal of a third molar that’s impacted, misaligned, or causing pain and crowding. At VEGA Medical Center in Al Rigga, Dubai, the procedure is performed under local anesthesia, with same-day appointments available for urgent, painful cases.
Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to develop, and by the time they try to emerge, the jaw is often already fully grown, leaving little to no room. This commonly results in:
The tooth is trapped beneath the gum or bone and can’t emerge normally.
The tooth comes in sideways or at an angle, pressing against the neighboring molar.
A partially emerged tooth creates a pocket where bacteria and food particles collect.
Pressure from an emerging wisdom tooth can shift or damage nearby teeth.
It’s time to book an assessment if you’re noticing:
An X-ray shows the exact position, angle and root structure of the wisdom tooth.
We explain whether your case is a simple or surgical extraction, and what to expect.
The area is fully numbed before the tooth is carefully removed.
Clear aftercare instructions to support healing at home.
Straightforward cases are usually completed in one visit. More complex impacted teeth may take slightly longer, but the approach stays the same: careful planning, then a comfortable procedure.
Healing time varies by case, but most patients recover comfortably by following these steps:
Stick to soft, cool foods for the first 2 to 3 days.
Avoid smoking, straws, and vigorous rinsing to protect the healing site.
Use prescribed or recommended pain relief as directed.
Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling during the first 24 hours.
Attend your follow-up if one is scheduled, especially for surgical extractions.
A wisdom tooth extraction may be the right option if:
Wisdom tooth removal is one type of tooth extraction. If your case involves deep decay elsewhere in the mouth rather than a wisdom tooth, another treatment may be the better option, and we’ll always explain which applies to you.
