Symptoms to Watch Out For

Wisdom teeth are the third and final set of adult molars, typically emerging between the late teens and mid-twenties. While some people have no issues with their wisdom teeth—or don’t develop them at all—these teeth often cause problems that require removal.

    When Should Wisdom Teeth Be Removed?

  • Crooked growth – Teeth may come in at an angle or press against neighbouring teeth.
  • Crowding – Not enough room in the mouth can lead to pain and complications.
  • Hygiene challenges – Poor positioning can trap food and make cleaning difficult, increasing the risk of decay.
  • Impacted teeth – Partially erupted or stuck teeth are more prone to infection.

If you notice discomfort or suspect your wisdom teeth may be causing problems, consult with a dentist to determine the best course of action.

The Wisdom Tooth Removal Process

Wisdom tooth extraction can range from a simple removal by your dentist to a common surgical procedure performed by an oral surgeon. After an initial examination, your dentist will determine the best approach, whether it involves removing all four teeth at once or spacing the extractions across multiple appointments.

Examining Your Teeth

Before booking the procedure, we’ll thoroughly examine your teeth and jaw using X-rays to assess how your wisdom teeth are positioned and their root structure. This ensures we determine the best course of action—simple extraction or surgery—without any surprises.

The Removal Process

During your initial exam, we’ll explain the procedure and help you prepare. Based on your preferences and your dentist’s recommendations, you’ll receive local freezing, sedation, or anesthesia to ensure comfort. Using minimally invasive techniques, we aim to make the process as gentle and stress-free as possible.

Aftercare

You may need to bring a friend or family member to assist you, including driving you home and staying with you as you recover. We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions with helpful tips to ensure a quick and comfortable recovery. If you have questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re here to help!

Cost of Wisdom Tooth Removal in Barrie

The cost of wisdom tooth extraction varies depending on your specific needs and whether you have dental insurance.

  • With Insurance: A simple, single-tooth extraction typically costs $100–$200+ out of pocket.
  • Without Insurance: Expect to pay $200–$600+ per tooth for a simple extraction.

The final cost can only be determined after a thorough oral exam, as your treatment plan is tailored to your unique situation.

    Types of Extractions:

  • Simple Tooth Extraction: For wisdom teeth that are fully erupted and visible in the mouth, a general dentist can perform this straightforward procedure using local anesthesia. This is the most affordable option.
  • Surgical Tooth Extraction: For teeth that are impacted, partially erupted, or have complicated roots, surgical extraction may be required. This involves more expertise and care, resulting in higher costs.

Since every case is different, an in-person consultation is essential for an accurate quote and to explore your treatment options. If you’re ready to take the next step, book an appointment today to discuss your personalized plan.

Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and, most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.

Frequently Asked Questions

Not everyone needs their wisdom teeth removed. Extraction is necessary only if they’re impacted, causing pain, or interfering with your other teeth and jaw.

Modern techniques make wisdom tooth removal as comfortable as possible. With proper tools, anesthesia, and aftercare, discomfort is minimized, and recovery is smoother.

You can eat soft foods about an hour after your procedure once the gauze sponges are removed. Avoid hot foods and straws for the first 24 hours to prevent complications.

We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions, but generally:

  • Avoid spitting, rinsing, using a straw, smoking, or touching the site for 24 hours.
  • Stick to soft, cool foods and avoid hot drinks.
  • Skip aspirin, as it can inhibit blood clotting.
  • Rest and avoid physical activities.

Plan for 3–4 days of rest to reduce complications. Full recovery typically takes about two weeks, with minimal discomfort during that time.

If you have concerns, we’re here to guide you every step of the way!

Have always had a great experience. Our most recent visit was for my 4 year olds first cleaning. The hygienist was unbelievably kind and really went above and beyond to make my daughter comfortable. Showed her all the tools, which very much appreciated , even letting her try them out herself made it fun and interactive. My kiddo definitely loved getting a new tooth brush and picking a toy at the end. Thank you guys!
