Preventing Future Oral Health Issues through Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are permanent adult teeth that usually emerge between the ages of 17 and 21. Many people have all four wisdom teeth, but it is estimated that 5% to 37% of people have some or none at all. Wisdom teeth removal involves extracting these teeth if they are causing issues or as a preventative measure to reduce the risk of future problems.
Why Are Wisdom Teeth Removed?
Wisdom teeth may grow in at an angle or remain impacted in the jawbone or gum tissue, causing a variety of problems such as dental pain, food and debris traps, gum disease, tooth decay, cyst development, and damage to nearby teeth or bones. Wisdom teeth extraction is recommended by our experienced dentists at Estedian Istanbul, Turkey, to avoid these problems.
The Right Age for Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth removal can be performed at any age, but it is usually recommended to have it done in your late teens or early 20s when the teeth are still forming and easier to remove with fewer complications. Before the procedure, you will be referred to an oral surgeon for a consultation, where they will assess the health of your wisdom teeth and take dental X-rays to determine their location. Our experts will also discuss sedation options with you, including local anesthesia, IV sedation, and general anesthesia.
The Procedure and Recovery Time
The wisdom teeth removal procedure usually takes about an hour or less, with the dentist administering local anesthesia to numb the teeth and gums. In cases of impacted wisdom teeth, the dentist will make incisions to expose the teeth and then remove them. You can expect mild discomfort, bleeding, and swelling after the procedure, but our team at Estedian will provide you with instructions to manage these side effects. Most people take three to four days to recover and a few weeks for their gums to fully heal. We also use platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) in our dental surgical treatments, including as extractions and dental implants, at Estedian. PRF accelerates healing and reduces surgical pain and swelling for both dental implants and wisdom teeth extraction. PRF also strengthens the direct structural and functional link of the bone to implants.
Benefits of Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth removal has several benefits, including reducing the risk of oral health problems such as gum disease, tooth decay, damage to adjacent teeth, bone loss, and jaw damage.

Wisdom teeth removal is a dental procedure where third molars, also known as wisdom teeth, are extracted from the mouth. This procedure is typically performed when the wisdom teeth are causing pain, crowding, or causing other oral health problems.
Wisdom teeth may need to be removed for several reasons including: not enough space in the mouth for the wisdom teeth to grow, pain or infection caused by partially erupted wisdom teeth, or impaction of the wisdom teeth. Your dentist will evaluate your oral health and determine if wisdom teeth removal is necessary.
Turkey offers low dental costs, access to excellent dental facilities, and highly skilled and knowledgeable dentists, all of which are advantages when having your wisdom teeth removed there. Turkey is a popular dental tourism destination because it provides a wide range of dental services at reasonable prices.
Depending on the number of teeth to be pulled and the complexity of the case, the length of the wisdom teeth removal operation in Turkey varies. The operation might take anything from 15 minutes to 45 on average.
The wisdom teeth removal procedure can cause some discomfort, but the pain is usually manageable with pain medications. Your dentist will provide you with appropriate pain management options to ensure a comfortable and pain-free experience.
The recovery time after wisdom teeth removal in Turkey can vary from person to person, but most people are able to return to their normal activities within 2-7 days. It is important to follow your dentist's instructions for post-operative care to ensure a smooth and quick recovery.
