Wisdom Tooth Extraction in Guelph

Relieve wisdom tooth pain with safe, gentle care focused on your comfort at every step.

Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Wellington Dental Clinic

Safe and Gentle Removal

Experiencing wisdom tooth pain? At Wellington Dental Clinic, wisdom teeth removal is one of the most common oral surgery procedures we provide. Wisdom teeth often become impacted, grow in at an angle, or cause crowding and infection — removing them helps prevent pain, swelling, and long-term complications, so you can maintain a healthy, comfortable smile.

We're open 7 days a week, welcome dental emergencies, offer same-day appointments, and provide direct billing — so if you're in pain, you don't have to wait to be seen.

Why Wisdom Teeth Often Need to Come Out

Most mouths don't have enough room for wisdom teeth to come in properly. As a result, they frequently become impacted (stuck below the gumline), grow in sideways or at an angle, or push against neighboring teeth — leading to crowding, pain, infection, or damage to nearby teeth if left untreated.

Signs You May Need Your Wisdom Teeth Removed

  • Pain, swelling, or tenderness near the back of the jaw
  • Difficulty opening your mouth fully
  • Crowding or shifting of nearby teeth
  • Recurring infection or bad taste near the back molars
  • Wisdom teeth visible on X-ray as impacted or growing at an angle

What to Expect

Your dentist will use X-rays to assess the position of your wisdom teeth and determine the best approach for removal. Local anesthetic is used to numb the area, and sedation options are available for patients who feel anxious or are having multiple teeth removed at once. Recovery time varies depending on the complexity of the extraction, but most patients are back to normal activities within a few days, following some rest and a soft-food diet.

Your Questions Answered

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about your visit to our Guelph clinic.

How do I know if my wisdom teeth need to come out?

Common signs include pain or swelling near the back of the jaw, crowding of nearby teeth, or difficulty opening your mouth fully. An exam and X-rays can confirm whether extraction is recommended.

Is wisdom tooth removal painful?

The procedure is performed with local anesthetic, and sedation options are available for added comfort. Some soreness and swelling afterward are common and typically improve within a few days.

How long is recovery after wisdom tooth removal?

Most patients feel back to normal within a few days, following some rest and a soft-food diet while the extraction site heals.

Can all four wisdom teeth be removed at once?

In many cases, yes — your dentist will assess your specific situation and let you know whether removing all four at once or staging the extractions makes more sense for you.

Are wisdom tooth extractions covered by insurance?

Coverage varies by plan — our team can help you check your benefits before your visit.

Do you accept new patients?

Yes. New patients are always welcome, and we offer a $99 new patient cleaning special that includes an exam and X-rays.
