Wisdom tooth extraction in St. Catharines
Strong, healthy teeth don’t happen by accident. They’re built with consistent care and the right preventive tools. At Hartzel Dental, we offer professional fluoride treatments and custom-fitted night guards to help protect your smile from the inside out, day and night.
Why timing matters
Impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth are a common source of infection, decay, and shifting in adjacent teeth, particularly in younger adults whose jaws are still developing. We use digital X-rays to evaluate each tooth’s position and develop a removal plan that minimizes risk and discomfort. For urgent situations, we also offer same-day emergency extractions when pain or infection can’t wait.
What the procedure involves
We make sure you’re fully comfortable before we begin. The area is thoroughly numbed, and we work gently and efficiently to remove the tooth with minimal stress to the surrounding tissue. Before you leave, we’ll give you complete aftercare instructions so your recovery is smooth and straightforward.
Healing and recovery
Most patients recover within a week, and we’re here to support you through every stage of it. Whether you’re having one tooth removed or all four, you’ll receive individualized care and follow-up guidance to keep recovery on track and complication-free.
A team you can trust
for oral surgery
Extractions can feel daunting, but our experienced team at Hartzel Dental takes every step to make the process as comfortable and reassuring as possible. We take the time to explain what we’re doing, answer your questions, and ensure you feel supported from the moment you book to the moment you’re healed.
Frequently asked questions
Will the procedure hurt?
You’ll be fully numbed during the extraction. Some mild soreness and swelling are normal in the days after, and we’ll provide clear guidance on managing both.
How long does recovery take?
Most patients feel back to normal within a week, though everyone heals a little differently.
What if my wisdom tooth is infected?
Infection needs to be addressed promptly. We can perform the extraction and, where needed, prescribe antibiotics to support your recovery.
Do all wisdom teeth need to come out?
Not necessarily. We review your X-rays carefully and only recommend extraction when it’s genuinely in your best interest.
