Your appointment begins with a detailed examination and review of your dental imaging. Based on the position, development, and condition of the wisdom tooth, your dentist in Newmarket will determine the most appropriate extraction technique.
The procedure may involve:
Throughout the procedure, careful attention is given to protecting the surrounding gum tissue, jawbone, periodontal structures, and nearby nerves. Most wisdom tooth extractions can be completed comfortably in a single appointment.
From consultation to recovery, we make wisdom tooth removal as stress-free as possible with careful techniques and Experienced dentists.

Every wisdom tooth develops differently. Some are easy to remove, but others remain deeply trapped inside the alveolar bone and require a more advanced surgical extraction. Our team regularly treats all types of wisdom tooth impactions in Newmarket.
Fully Erupted Wisdom Teeth
These wisdom teeth have fully come through the gums, but are difficult to clean because of their position at the back of the mouth. Even when fully erupted, they often become plaque traps that increase the risk of:
A soft tissue impaction happens when the tooth is partially covered by gum tissue. These teeth commonly lead to irritation, swelling, and repeated infections because bacteria become trapped under the gum flap. Soft tissue impactions are one of the most common causes of recurring wisdom tooth pain.
Partial Bony Impaction
With a partial bony impaction, part of the tooth remains trapped inside the jawbone while another part begins to erupt through the gums. These cases often require impacted wisdom tooth surgery involving a small incision and gentle bone removal to safely access the tooth.
Complete Bony Impaction
A complete bony impaction means the wisdom tooth remains fully trapped inside the jawbone. These extractions are more complex and require careful surgical planning including nearby teeth and the inferior alveolar nerve (the main nerve to the lower teeth).
For these cases, we may recommend advanced imaging such as a CBCT scan to better evaluate root anatomy and nerve position before surgery.
Wisdom teeth often lack enough space to grow properly. They may become impacted, cause pain or infection, and damage nearby teeth—even before noticeable symptoms appear. Panoramic X-rays and digital imaging help us identify problems early and determine whether removal is necessary.
Impacted wisdom teeth can press against adjacent teeth, damage enamel, and create hard-to-clean areas where decay may develop.
Partially erupted wisdom teeth can trap food and bacteria beneath the gum, increasing the risk of swelling, pain, and pericoronitis.
In some cases, a cyst may form around an impacted tooth and gradually damage nearby teeth or jawbone.
Wisdom tooth removal at our Newmarket clinic generally runs between $280 and $700 per tooth. Where you land in that range depends on the type of impaction and how many wisdom teeth are being treated.
Leslie North Dental accepts the Canadian Dental Care Plan and offers direct billing to participating insurance providers. Our team is happy to help you sort through coverage, deductibles, co-payments, and annual limits.
Move through the timeline to see what is commonly expected during the first few days after wisdom tooth extraction.
Some bleeding and numbness are normal during the first few hours. Use ice packs on the outside of the face to help reduce swelling.
Swelling often peaks around the second or third day. Mild soreness and jaw stiffness are common, but prescribed or recommended medications usually keep discomfort manageable.
Most patients begin feeling noticeably better by this stage. Swelling decreases, eating becomes easier, and many people return to work or school within a few days, depending on the complexity of the extraction.
Dry socket happens when the protective blood clot at the extraction site becomes dislodged too early. This exposes the underlying bone and can cause significant discomfort.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wisdom Tooth Removal
With local anaesthesia, patients typically do not feel the extraction itself, although some soreness may occur afterward.
Not always, but pain is not the only sign of a problem. Wisdom teeth can silently damage nearby teeth, create infections, or develop cysts even before symptoms appear. A proper examination and panoramic X-ray can help determine whether removal is recommended.
In many cases, yes. Removing all four during one appointment often reduces the need for multiple recoveries and additional sedation appointments. However, the right approach depends on your individual case and imaging results.
The tooth extraction cost ranges between $280 and $700, depending on the number of teeth involved, the type of impaction, and whether sedation is needed. Simple extractions cost less than complete bony impactions requiring surgery.
Most patients recover within a few days to one week. Mild swelling and soreness are common at first, especially after surgical extractions, but symptoms improve gradually each day.
Dry socket occurs when the blood clot protecting the extraction site becomes dislodged too early. This can expose the underlying bone and delay healing. Following your post-operative instructions carefully greatly reduces the risk.
