Wisdom Teeth Removal West Kelowna

Dental Surgery & Tooth Extractions at our West Kelowna Dental Clinic

At Aura Dental Clinic, we’re focused on helping you maintain a healthy smile for the long run. Sometimes, though, the best way to safeguard your oral health is by removing a problematic tooth. Whether it’s a stubborn wisdom tooth or one that’s infected and beyond repair, our goal is to make the extraction process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

When Do Wisdom Teeth Need To Be Extracted?

Wisdom teeth often make their appearance in your late teens or early twenties, and they aren’t always cooperative. They might grow at strange angles or get stuck below the gum line, causing crowding, pain, or even infections. In these cases, removing them can be the best way to eliminate discomfort and prevent pressure on your other teeth. Here at Aura Dental Clinic, we put patient care first every step of the way, so you’ll feel well-informed and supported from start to finish.

When to Ask About Tooth Removal

It’s not just wisdom teeth that need to be removed. Decay or ongoing pain in a regular adult tooth can potentially cause more severe health repercussions. If you’re dealing with persistent discomfort, swollen gums, or repeated infections, please schedule an appointment as soon as you can so we can help you get out of pain. Catching these signs early can help prevent bigger problems later while resolving immediate discomfort.
 

Preparing and Performing Tooth Extractions

Before any surgical procedure, we’ll make sure to take detailed X-rays or a CBCT scan to check what’s going on beneath the surface of your tooth and create an accurate treatment plan. Once we have a clear view, we’ll discuss your treatment options and make sure you know exactly what to expect when it comes to an extraction.

On the day of your extraction, our friendly staff will welcome you in, answer any last-minute questions, and get you settled. During the procedure, we use modern techniques designed to minimize discomfort and speed up your recovery and also offer some sedation options for your comfort.

You’ll receive personalized aftercare instructions, like tips for managing swelling or choosing soft foods, so you can heal quickly and get back to your regular routine.

Dental Surgery Prep at Aura: Bone Grafting for Implants

While we handle standard tooth extractions (including wisdom tooth removal), we also offer specialized dental surgery preparation in the form of bone grafting for dental implants. This procedure is a game-changer if your jawbone needs extra support to hold an implant securely. By strengthening your foundation, bone grafting paves the way for a long-term solution to missing teeth.
