Services
At Winnipeg Orofacial Health Centre, tooth extractions are performed by an expert oral and maxillofacial surgeon, ensuring precision, comfort, and optimal outcomes—especially in complex or surgical cases. Whether your dentist or orthodontist has referred you for a straightforward extraction or a more advanced surgical procedure, you’re in expert hands.
There are several common reasons your dentist, orthodontist, or physician may recommend a tooth extraction:
The tooth is severely decayed, fractured, or non-restorable
A baby tooth has not naturally exfoliated and is blocking permanent teeth
You’re preparing for orthodontic treatment and need to create space
Gum disease has led to significant bone loss around the tooth
An extra (supernumerary) tooth is mispositioned or crowding other teeth
The tooth is impacted or associated with a pathologic lesion
Regardless of the reason, our team provides compassionate, expert surgical care in a comfortable environment. We use advanced imaging, gentle techniques, and sedation options when appropriate to make your experience as smooth as possible.
Wisdom teeth typically begin to emerge between the late teenage years and early twenties. If left untreated, they can cause a range of issues including pain, swelling, infection, damage to nearby teeth, and even the formation of cysts or tumours in the jaw. Whether you're seeking preventive care or need immediate attention for discomfort or infection, our team will provide a thorough assessment and a personalized treatment plan.
We welcome patients of all ages for consultation, though we strongly recommend early evaluation—ideally between ages 15 and 18—to minimize complications and promote faster, smoother recovery. Our team provides safe, comfortable care using the latest techniques, including sedation options for a stress-free experience. Explore anesthesia options.
Wisdom teeth are typically removed when they pose a risk to your oral health, including:
Early intervention can prevent more serious complications down the road.
We recommend evaluation and potential removal between ages 15 and 18, when the roots are partially formed and healing tends to be faster. However, we tailor every recommendation to the individual.
In many cases, removing all four in a single visit is the most efficient approach—minimizing time off school/work, consolidating healing, and potentially reducing costs. Your plan is personalized to your health, anatomy, and preferences.
Follow these guidelines for a smooth recovery after your procedure.
