What To Expect When Getting Your Wisdom Tooth Removed: Dr. Shoaib Durrani’s Expert Guide
Getting your wisdom tooth removed may sound intimidating, but with the right dentist, it’s a smooth and comfortable process. At Durrani Dental Clinic, Dr. Shoaib Durrani ensures that every patient receives a safe, painless, and stress-free experience. Whether you’re in Karachi or the surrounding areas, his advanced techniques and patient-first approach make wisdom tooth removal far less daunting than you may think.
Why Wisdom Tooth Removal is Important
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, often erupt at awkward angles or become impacted. As a result, patients often experience:
• Gum infections
• Tooth crowding
• Jaw pain
• Cysts or damage to nearby teeth
According to the American Dental Association (ADA), early extraction can prevent these complications and lead to a faster recovery (ADA Source). If you’re also concerned about your overall smile, explore our other treatments like cosmetic dentistry, teeth whitening, and dental implants.
What Happens During Wisdom Tooth Removal?
At Durrani Dental Clinic, the procedure is carefully planned:
• Consultation & Imaging – Dr. Shoaib Durrani uses advanced X-rays to assess tooth position.
• Anesthesia Options – Local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia, depending on your needs.
• Minimally Invasive Extraction – Gentle techniques reduce trauma and ensure quick healing.
• Duration – Most extractions are completed in less than an hour.
