What Is Wisdom Tooth Extraction?
Wisdom tooth extraction is the surgical removal of one or more of the four back molars that usually appear between ages 17 and 25. These teeth often come in at an angle, get trapped under the gum, or push against the next tooth, causing pain, infection, or crowding. Extraction is planned on an X-ray so the position of the tooth and its roots are known before any surgery.
When to Consider
Signs You Might Need This Treatment
- ✦Pain at the back of the jaw, often worse when biting
- ✦Swelling or a bad taste from the gum over a partly erupted wisdom tooth
- ✦Recurrent infection or ulcers over the same area
- ✦A wisdom tooth pushing against the next molar
- ✦Repeated food trapping around a wisdom tooth
- ✦An X-ray finding of an impacted wisdom tooth even without symptoms
Expertise
Our Approach to Wisdom Tooth Extraction at Millennium Smile Dental Clinic
Wisdom tooth removal at Millennium Smile Dental Clinic is handled by Dr. Manish Sonawane, and every case is planned on a digital X-ray before the extraction date is set. Where the tooth is close to the lower nerve or sits at a difficult angle, a CBCT scan is referred out before surgery. Simple erupted wisdom teeth are removed under local anaesthesia in a short visit, and more complex impactions are done in a longer sitting with careful sectioning of the tooth so surrounding bone is preserved. Clear post-operative instructions and prescribed medication are given at the same visit, so recovery is predictable rather than a guessing game at home.
Procedure
How the Procedure Works
- 1.
X-ray and assessment
A digital X-ray shows the exact position and root shape of the wisdom tooth. A CBCT is added when the tooth sits close to the nerve.
- 2.
Local anaesthesia
The area is fully numbed. Sedation is discussed for anxious patients or complex cases.
- 3.
Extraction
The tooth is removed in one piece where possible, or sectioned into smaller parts to preserve surrounding bone and gum.
- 4.
Cleaning the socket
The socket is cleaned and, where needed, closed with a few dissolvable sutures.
- 5.
Immediate aftercare
Gauze is placed on the area and you are given clear instructions for the first 24 hours.
- 6.
Follow-up
A short review confirms healing is on track. Sutures dissolve on their own in most cases.

Recovery & Aftercare

- •Eat soft, cool food for the first 24 to 48 hours
- •Avoid smoking, rinsing forcefully, or using a straw for 3 days to protect the clot

Suitability
Is Wisdom Tooth Extraction Right for You?
Extraction is right when the wisdom tooth is causing pain, repeated infection, damage to the next tooth, or is impacted in a way that will cause future problems. Symptom-free wisdom teeth that are well positioned do not always need to come out, and that is decided on the X-ray, not by default. Book a consultation with Dr. Manish Sonawane at Millennium Smile Dental Clinic for a case-specific answer.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Wisdom Tooth Extraction in Andheri West
How do I know if my wisdom tooth needs to be removed?
Any wisdom tooth causing repeated pain, swelling, infection, or food trapping usually needs to come out. A wisdom tooth pushing against the next molar or trapped under gum tissue is also a standard indication. An X-ray gives a clear answer.
How long does the extraction take?
A simple erupted wisdom tooth is usually out in 15 to 30 minutes. A fully impacted tooth requiring surgical access takes 45 to 60 minutes.
How painful is recovery?
The first 2 to 3 days are the most uncomfortable, well controlled by prescribed painkillers. Most patients are back to normal food and routine within a week.
Do all four wisdom teeth need to be removed together?
Not always. Only the teeth causing problems or expected to cause problems are removed. Some patients have all four done in one sitting for convenience, others prefer to do them one side at a time.
Will removing wisdom teeth affect my other teeth?
No, in a properly planned extraction the surrounding teeth are protected. A wisdom tooth that is left in and continues to push against the next molar is a bigger long-term risk to other teeth than the extraction itself.
How much does wisdom tooth extraction cost in Andheri West, Mumbai?
Wisdom tooth extraction at Millennium Smile Dental Clinic typically starts from around 2,500 rupees for a simple erupted tooth and rises to 8,000 to 12,000 rupees for a fully impacted surgical extraction.
