What the procedure involves.
Wisdom tooth extraction removes impacted or problematic third molars that cause pain, crowding, or infection. Chinese oral surgery departments use panoramic and CBCT imaging for precise planning, with experienced surgeons handling even complex impactions efficiently. The procedure costs 80-90% less than in the US, making it worthwhile for international patients needing multiple extractions.
Step by step.
Imaging & Assessment
Panoramic X-ray or CBCT scan reveals tooth position, root shape, and proximity to nerves
Anesthesia
Local anesthesia numbs the area; IV sedation available for anxious patients or multiple extractions
Tooth Removal
Surgeon makes an incision if needed, sections the tooth for easier removal, and extracts it
Socket Care
Socket is cleaned, sutures placed if necessary, and gauze applied for hemostasis
- Prevents crowding and misalignment of adjacent teeth
- Eliminates recurring infections and pericoronitis
- Quick procedure with predictable outcomes
- Extremely affordable compared to Western dental care
- Dry socket if blood clot dislodges during healing
- Temporary or rarely permanent numbness of lip or tongue
- Post-operative infection requiring antibiotics
- Brief jaw stiffness and limited mouth opening
