Wisdom Tooth Extractions
Wisdom Tooth Extraction Dentist In Chicago
Are you experiencing discomfort from loose, painful, or fractured teeth? Perhaps you're noticing the emergence of a wisdom tooth?
Despite efforts to avoid tooth extraction, leaving problematic wisdom teeth untreated can lead to further complications. If you're experiencing discomfort due to wisdom teeth issues, it may be time to consider extraction.
At Archer Dental, Dr. Anton has been performing wisdom teeth removal in Chicago for many years, utilizing the latest techniques and ensuring a gentle touch throughout the procedure.
Why do I Need a Tooth Extraction?
Patients of all ages may require dental extractions for various reasons, including:
- Loss of bone and gum support around the tooth
- Advanced tooth decay
- Severe damage to the tooth
- Removal of stubborn baby teeth to accommodate adult teeth
- Creation of space for orthodontic treatment
Many patients in the Chicago area seek pain-free dental treatments. While some discomfort may occur post-extraction during the recovery period, Dr. Anton endeavors and excels at making the procedure as comfortable as possible.
We offer local anesthesia to alleviate any discomfort, and for those experiencing anxiety, we provide medication or Nitrous Oxide to help calm your nerves. Your extraction will be efficiently performed, and Dr. Anton will provide instructions for a quick and complete recovery at home.
Wisdom Teeth Removal in Chicago
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, can pose various issues if they do not erupt properly. While some individuals may never experience issues with their wisdom teeth, others may face complications such as impaction or difficulty in cleaning, leading to gum disease or cavities.
Dr. Zhadovich typically recommends removing wisdom teeth as soon as possible to avoid potential complications. It's often more convenient to extract all third molars at once, rather than addressing issues individually.
However, determining whether extraction is necessary requires a professional evaluation by a dentist specializing in wisdom teeth removal in Chicago.
Treatment for Impacted Wisdom Teeth
If one or more wisdom teeth are impacted, immediate attention is required. An impacted tooth grows in the wrong direction while still under the gums, potentially damaging neighboring teeth while also increasing the odds of infection. Treatment for impacted wisdom teeth usually involves locating their position using X-rays and planning an extraction. Dr. Zhadovich carefully opens the bone and gum tissue surrounding the impacted teeth, then removes the offending wisdom tooth.
Post-Operative Concerns After Wisdom Tooth Extraction
After a wisdom tooth extraction, it’s common to experience various post-operative symptoms that can raise questions. For patients in Chicago, understanding what’s typical and when to seek advice can help with a smooth recovery. Some common post-extraction concerns include sore gums, which may feel tender as the tissue heals, and white spots in the mouth that may appear as the area begins to close up. These spots are often part of the natural healing process but can sometimes indicate the need for gentle care or follow-up attention.Dry socket, or alveolar osteitis, is one of the most common concerns after wisdom tooth extraction. It occurs when the blood clot that forms in the tooth socket is dislodged or fails to develop properly, exposing the underlying bone and nerves. This exposure can lead to severe pain, often radiating to the ear or surrounding teeth, and can delay the healing process. Factors that increase the risk of dry socket include smoking, poor oral hygiene, using a straw, or spitting frequently after surgery. Proper post-operative care, such as avoiding these risk factors and following the dentist’s instructions, is essential to minimize the chance of developing dry socket.For a complete overview of post-operative care, including tips on managing discomfort and maintaining oral hygiene after wisdom tooth removal, visit our detailed after-care guide for tooth extractions.

Wisdom Tooth Extraction Procedure
Before the extraction, a thorough dental examination and 3D X-rays are conducted to assess the teeth's condition. Anesthesia is administered to numb the area, ensuring a comfortable experience for the patient.
For non-impacted wisdom teeth, extraction is straightforward and typically involves the use of dental tools. However, impacted teeth may require oral surgery to access the tooth, which involves creating a flap in the gum tissue to provide clear access to the tooth. The area is then carefully cleaned and sutured to promote healing.
