Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Wisdom tooth extraction removes third molars that are impacted, decayed or causing pain. Extractions, including surgical removal, are generally possible during a 3–7 day stay, leaving time for a check before you fly.
Who is this treatment for?
- Pain or swelling around the back teeth
- Impacted wisdom teeth seen on X-ray
- Repeated infection around a wisdom tooth
- Damage to the neighbouring tooth
At Oaks Dental Clinic
A panoramic X-ray and, where needed, a 3D CT scan show the roots and their relation to the nerve canal and the neighbouring tooth before surgery, so the difficulty and method of extraction are known in advance. Painless anaesthesia equipment is used, and sedation is available for suitable patients.
Impacted teeth
Wisdom teeth often lack the space to come through and remain partly or fully buried. Depending on how the tooth is positioned, a surgical extraction may be needed; aftercare instructions are given in English.
Visits and timing for visitors
We recommend scheduling extractions early in your stay so we can check the healing before you travel. Extractions fall into our 3–7 day category.
The number of visits and treatment duration depend on your diagnosis. A personalized treatment plan will be provided after examination.
Before you travel
Send your panoramic x-ray, ct scan, photos of your teeth, existing treatment plan or medical records by email or WhatsApp. The preliminary review is free, and we reply with whether treatment is likely to be possible, the expected number of visits, an estimated cost range and available dates. A preliminary review is not a final diagnosis.
Costs
Your cost depends on the number of teeth, complexity, materials and laboratory work, and is confirmed in a written estimate (Korean won, VAT included) before treatment begins. How costs are decided →
Aftercare and warranty
Extractions are not a warranty item. Aftercare instructions are provided in English. You leave with written aftercare instructions in English, and online consultation after you return home is always available. Aftercare and warranty →
