Wisdom Teeth Extraction in Edmonton
Wisdom Teeth Removal Near You
The last adult molars to erupt are wisdom teeth. They sit behind the second molars at the back of the mouth and may emerge during the late teenage years or early adulthood. Some wisdom teeth grow into a healthy position and do not require treatment. Others remain trapped below the gum, emerge only partly, or grow at an angle.
When a wisdom tooth is affected, extraction could be advised if it is difficult to clean, decayed, infected, damaging a nearby tooth, or causing repeated gum inflammation. A dentist in Edmonton can assess the position of each tooth and explain the benefits, risks, and treatment options before you decide how to proceed.
Why wisdom teeth can cause problems
The location of wisdom teeth makes them harder to brush and floss. Food and plaque can collect around a partly erupted tooth or beneath a flap of gum tissue, which may lead to tenderness, swelling, bad breath, decay, or infection.
An impacted tooth may remain fully inside the jawbone, sit sideways, or press against the tooth in front of it. Lower wisdom tooth roots can also be close to important nerves, while upper wisdom teeth may sit near the sinus. Dental X-rays help your dentist evaluate these relationships and decide whether treatment can be completed at the clinic or requires referral to a dental specialist.

Contact One67 Dental if you have pain, swelling, difficulty opening your mouth, or concerns about an emerging wisdom tooth. The dental team can review your symptoms, examine the area, and recommend the next step based on your clinical needs.
Our treatment rooms include digital radiography equipment for cases in which dental X-rays are clinically recommended. The team will explain the proposed treatment, expected recovery, and aftercare instructions before the procedure.
What can I expect during wisdom tooth extraction?
Some straightforward wisdom teeth can be removed at the clinic under local anaesthetic. If the tooth position or procedure is more complex, your dentist will discuss whether referral to a dental specialist is appropriate. The treatment plan is based on your examination, X-rays, medical history, and the number and position of the teeth being removed.
During the procedure, the area is numbed before the tooth is loosened and removed. A tooth may need to be divided into smaller sections, and stitches may be placed when needed. Your dental team will explain what applies to your procedure and provide written aftercare instructions before you leave.
After the tooth is pulled, a blood clot forms in the empty socket. This clot protects the area while healing begins. Avoid straws, smoking or vaping, forceful spitting, and vigorous rinsing for the period directed by your dental team because these actions can disturb the clot and delay healing.
Utilize pain medication only as directed by your dentist, physician, or the product label. A cold pack placed on the outside of the cheek may help with swelling during the first day. Contact the clinic if bleeding does not settle, pain or swelling becomes worse after initially improving, or you develop fever, pus, a persistent bad taste, or difficulty breathing or swallowing.
Dental hygiene and recovery
Keep your mouth clean without brushing directly over the extraction site. After the first 24 hours, your dentist may advise gentle warm salt-water rinses. Do not rinse forcefully. Continue brushing the other teeth carefully and follow any specific instructions about cleaning near stitches.
Choose soft, cool, or lukewarm foods during the first few days. Yogurt, pudding, scrambled eggs, mashed potatoes, and smooth soup are often easier to eat. As comfort increases, gradually resume your regular diet; stay away from items that are sticky, hard, pointy, or likely to become lodged in the socket.
Most patients notice improvement within a few days, although soreness, swelling, bruising, or jaw stiffness may last longer after a difficult extraction. Recovery varies, so follow the instructions provided for your procedure and attend any recommended follow-up visit.

Megan is an excellent hygienist! Had a lot of good hygienists, but so far Megan’s knowledge and skills are exceptional! She does care with her patients. Thank you, one67Dental!
I recently visited 167 Dental and had one of the best dental experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment I walked in, the ladies at the front desk were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and understanding — which really helped ease my nerves, especially since I’ve always had a fear of dentists.
The clinic itself was spotless and had a very calm, clean, and professional atmosphere. The entire staff made me feel cared for and respected. The dentist who attended to me was exceptionally detailed in explaining my diagnosis and the treatment process. He took the time to ensure I fully understood everything, which made me feel genuinely comfortable and confident in the care I was receiving.
After dealing with a lot of tooth pain, this visit was truly refreshing — not just because of the relief I felt afterward, but because of how compassionate and thorough everyone was. I highly recommend 167 Dental to anyone looking for a caring, patient-focused, and professional dental experience.
Highly recommend booking at this dentistry over others in the area.
Frequently Asked Questions about Wisdom Teeth Removal
The procedure time depends on the tooth position, the number of teeth being removed, and the complexity of the extraction. A straightforward tooth may take only a few minutes, while a more difficult extraction can take around 30 to 40 minutes or longer. Your appointment also includes preparation, local anaesthetic, and aftercare instructions.
The cost of wisdom teeth removal in Edmonton depends on the number of teeth, whether they are erupted or impacted, the difficulty of the procedure, required X-rays, the type of anaesthetic, and whether specialist care is needed. One67 Dental can provide a treatment estimate after an examination and help you review direct-billing or financing options.
Start with soft foods that need little chewing, such as yogurt, pudding, scrambled eggs, mashed potatoes, or smooth soup. Avoid drinking via a straw, and stay away from very hot, crunchy, sharp, sticky, or spicy foods while the area is tender. Follow the instructions given by your dental team.
Pain and swelling often begin to improve within a few days, but soreness, bruising, or jaw stiffness may continue for one to two weeks. The socket continues healing after you feel better. Recovery time depends on the complexity of the extraction, your health, and how closely you follow the aftercare instructions.
