Wisdom Tooth Removal in Burnaby

Wisdom teeth may need removal if they have deep decay, recurrent decay due to difficult hygiene, impaction, infection or inflammation around the tooth, bone disease, food impaction, or damage or decay affecting the neighbouring second molar.

Yes. Solo Dental offers multiple modes of sedation for wisdom tooth removal, ranging from light sedation to IV sedation, depending on the patient’s needs, health, and the dental assessment performed by Dr. Deheshi.

During a wisdom tooth consultation, Dr. Deheshi can assess the situation using advance 3D radiography and CT scans, discuss whether removal is needed, review comfort and sedation options, and recommend a treatment approach focused on safety and recovery.

When Should Wisdom Teeth Be Assessed?

Wisdom teeth are easiest to manage when they are assessed before they become a serious problem. Some patients notice pressure, soreness, swelling, bad taste, difficulty cleaning the area, or tenderness behind the back molars. Others have no symptoms at all, but an exam or X-ray may show that the wisdom teeth are impacted, difficult to clean, or positioned in a way that could affect nearby teeth.

If you are unsure whether your wisdom teeth need attention, a consultation can help clarify the situation. Dr. Deheshi can evaluate the position of the teeth, review your symptoms, and explain whether monitoring, removal, or another next step may be appropriate.

What Happens During a Wisdom Tooth Consultation?

A wisdom tooth consultation is designed to give you clear information before treatment is planned. Dr. Deheshi will review your dental history, ask about symptoms, examine the area, and use imaging when needed to understand the position of the wisdom teeth and surrounding structures.

The consultation also gives you time to ask practical questions about timing, sedation, recovery, aftercare, and whether all wisdom teeth should be addressed at once or in stages. The goal is to make the process feel understandable rather than rushed or uncertain.

Sedation Options for Wisdom Tooth Removal

For many patients, the biggest concern is not only the extraction itself, but anxiety about the appointment. Solo Dental offers IV and oral sedation dentistry for patients who may benefit from added comfort during wisdom tooth removal.

Sedation recommendations depend on your health history, anxiety level, the complexity of the procedure, and the type of treatment being planned. Dr. Deheshi can explain what level of support may be appropriate and what you should expect before, during, and after the appointment.

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery after wisdom tooth removal varies depending on the position of the teeth, the complexity of the extraction, and your individual healing response. Before treatment, the Solo Dental team will review aftercare instructions so you know how to care for the area, manage swelling, protect the healing site, and recognize when to contact the clinic with questions.

Good aftercare helps support healing and reduce the risk of complications. Patients are usually advised to follow instructions carefully, avoid disturbing the extraction site, and allow time for rest after the appointment, especially if sedation is used.

How Wisdom Tooth Care Fits Into General Dentistry

Wisdom teeth are one part of your overall oral health. During a dental exam, Dr. Deheshi may monitor third molars for changes in position, signs of inflammation, decay risk, or effects on neighbouring teeth. If removal is recommended, it can be planned as part of broader general dentistry care.

In some cases, patients who have delayed treatment may also have decay, gum inflammation, bite concerns, or damage to nearby teeth that should be assessed. The purpose of the consultation is to understand the whole picture and recommend care in the right order.
