Wisdom tooth extraction is a standard oral surgical procedure aimed at removing one or more of the four permanent adult teeth located at the back corners of your mouth. These teeth often cause pain, infection, or other dental issues when they don’t have enough room to grow in properly. At True North Oral Surgery & Implants, we specialize in providing expert care that minimizes discomfort and facilitates quick recovery.

Why May a Wisdom Tooth Extraction Be Necessary?
When wisdom teeth erupt improperly, they can cause crowding, infection, or damage to adjacent teeth. Extracting these problematic teeth can prevent future dental complications and maintain overall oral health. At True North, we thoroughly evaluate each case to determine the necessity and timing of extractions, prioritizing your health and comfort.
Impacted Canines—a condition in which the upper canines fail to erupt properly—can pose significant challenges to oral health and alignment. At True North Oral Surgery & Implants, our team is skilled in addressing both full and partial bony impactions.
Full Bony Impaction occurs when the tooth is completely encased in the jawbone, preventing normal eruption into the dental arch. This condition often necessitates surgical intervention to expose the tooth and guide it into its proper position. Our expertise in this procedure ensures we provide a meticulous approach that facilitates optimal outcomes for our patients.
Partial Bony Impaction refers to situations where part of the tooth is submerged in the bone while another part is visible above the gum line. This can lead to an improper bite and potential damage to nearby teeth. Our specialized techniques in uncovering partially impacted canines help rectify these issues effectively.
Coronectomies: In some instances, especially when dealing with lower wisdom teeth closely related to the inferior alveolar nerve, a complete extraction may pose a risk of nerve damage. A coronectomy is a strategic alternative we offer, which involves removing only the crown of the tooth while leaving the roots untouched.
