Wisdom Teeth Removal in Ravenswood, Chicago

When Wisdom Teeth Need to Be Removed

You may need wisdom teeth removal if you experience:

• Pain, swelling, or jaw stiffness
  
• Gum inflammation behind molars
  
• Repeated infection near the back of the mouth
  
• Tooth crowding or shifting
  
• Cysts or damage to nearby teeth
  

Removing impacted or problematic wisdom teeth early can prevent serious oral health complications later on.

Our Approach to Wisdom Teeth Removal

1. Comprehensive Evaluation: We take digital X-rays to assess the position and health of your wisdom teeth.
   
2. Treatment Planning: Dr. Renieris explains your options clearly, including whether extraction or coronectomy is best for you.
   
3. Comfort First: Local anesthesia or sedation dentistry ensures a relaxed, pain-free experience.
   
4. Gentle Removal: Using advanced, minimally invasive techniques, we remove or partially remove the tooth with minimal trauma.
   
5. Smooth Recovery: You’ll receive personalized aftercare instructions and follow-up support for fast healing.
   

Coronectomy: A Conservative Alternative

In some cases, a coronectomy — removing only the crown of the wisdom tooth while leaving the roots intact — may be the safest choice.

This approach is typically recommended when the roots are very close to the inferior alveolar nerve, reducing the risk of nerve injury.

Benefits of Coronectomy:

• Protects nerve function and sensation
  
• Reduces surgical risk and recovery time
  
• Preserves healthy bone and tissue
  

Dr. Renieris will review your X-rays and determine if a coronectomy is appropriate for your specific case.

What to Expect After Surgery

Most patients recover within a few days to a week, depending on the complexity of the procedure. You can expect:

• Mild swelling or tenderness for 24–48 hours
  
• Soft foods for the first few days
  
• Ice packs to reduce swelling
  
• Gentle rinsing after meals (starting the next day)
  

We’re always available to answer questions or see you for follow-up care if needed.
