Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Creating Space and Avoiding Problems Through Extraction

Wisdom teeth develop later than other teeth, and there is not always enough room for them in the jaw. In many cases, wisdom teeth remain fully or partially trapped in the bone and only partially erupt through the gums. This can lead to inflamm­a­tion, pain, damage to neigh­boring teeth, or shifts in the dental arch. In our oral surgery practice in Berlin-Friedenau, we remove wisdom teeth safely and gently. Whether a simple extra­c­tion or surgical exposure with osteotomy is necessary depends on the position of the tooth and indi­vi­dual anato­mical condi­tions. Using modern imaging and gentle tech­ni­ques, we ensure that even complex positions are treated precisely and with minimal tissue trauma.

Wisdom Tooth Removal Before Orthodontic Treatment

For planned orth­odontic therapies, it may be necessary to remove wisdom teeth early to create space or prevent unfa­vorable tooth movements. In such cases, removal usually takes place in adole­s­cence or young adulthood – following thorough diagno­stics and in close coor­di­na­tion with the referring orth­odon­tist. Partially retained teeth, i.e., teeth that have not yet fully erupted, can be speci­fi­cally prepared for orth­odontic treatment through surgical tooth exposure.
