Do you have any of these symptoms?

Wisdom teeth growing sideways.

Wisdom teeth that grow sideways often encroach on the root of one front tooth. If a cavity develops between these two teeth, the tooth in front will decay from the root of the tooth, causing the cavity to progress quickly and be difficult to treat, and in many cases, the tooth in front will no longer be able to be retained. For this reason, it is recommended that wisdom teeth that grow sideways be removed as soon as possible.

Wisdom teeth are decayed.

Wisdom teeth are difficult to reach with a toothbrush and are prone to decay. Their position also makes it difficult to treat for decay, and in many cases it is better to extract them if they cannot be adequately treated.

Gums around wisdom teeth often swell.

If wisdom teeth are not adequately cleaned, the gums around the wisdom teeth can become inflamed with gum disease. It is not good oral hygiene to have wisdom teeth that create unclean areas in the mouth, so they should be removed to keep the mouth clean.

Gums of lower back teeth hurt when chewing.

When the upper wisdom teeth grow out, they bite into the gums of the lower back teeth when chewing, causing pain. Patients tend to think that the lower back teeth are the cause of the problem, but in this case it is the upper wisdom teeth that are the cause, so removing these teeth will solve the problem.

Concerned about bad breath.

Wisdom teeth are the most recessed of all teeth and are difficult to brush, as they grow sideways. Dirt buildup around wisdom teeth often causes bad breath, so removing wisdom teeth may cure bad breath.

Difficult wisdom teeth extractions can also be performed

Use of the latest in gingival CT scans allows for safe and secure wisdom teeth extraction.

We use the latest CT scan technology to obtain accurate information about the direction and size of the wisdom teeth. This allows us to use the best, safest, and fastest methods to remove wisdom teeth with less pain. We can also handle difficult wisdom teeth that have been rejected by other clinics. Except in cases where there is a clear risk of nerve damage due to extraction, we can generally extract the tooth. In the case of patients with systemic diseases related to immunity or bleeding, or patients on many medications, we may refer them to a university hospital or other facilities.

Types of wisdom tooth extractions that can be performed

Straight wisdom teeth
Wisdom teeth extraction is relatively easy when the teeth are normally developed, just like removing a normal tooth.
Oblique wisdom teeth
Wisdom teeth can be removed without any problem in the common wisdom tooth growth.
Lateral wisdom teeth
When a large portion of the wisdom tooth is buried in the bone, much care and time is required to extract the tooth due to the incision of the gingival abutment and the shaving of the bone and teeth.

Coverage by various insurances such as health insurance

tooth extraction	Approx. 3,500-5,500 yen/piece (tax included)
CT scan (separate from treatment fee)	3,500 yen (tax included)

Wisdom Teeth Extraction

Smile Plan’s Pain-Friendly Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Pain-Friendly Tooth
Extraction

The patient will be given pain medication prior to the extraction and will be given surface anesthesia before the extraction is performed. If pain is felt during the extraction, additional anesthesia will be administered immediately so that the extraction is painless.

Equipped with state-of-the-art facilities

Before the operation, the teeth are photographed with the latest CT equipment to fully confirm the position of the wisdom teeth and the nerves before the extraction. The extraction procedure is performed in a dedicated, well-equipped operating room. CT imaging is very important for safe and reliable extraction.

Short time tooth extraction

In most cases, even horizontal wisdom teeth can be removed in less than 30 minutes. If the bone is strong or the root is crooked, it may take up to an hour, but the shorter the time, the less postoperative pain and the less burden on the patient, so we strive for a quick and reliable procedure.

Same-day tooth extraction possible

Tooth extraction can be performed on the same day as the initial visit to the clinic. If the inflammation is very strong or you are not feeling well, we will give you antibiotics to suppress the inflammation and perform the extraction at a later date. Patients from distant areas can also have their wisdom teeth extracted with fewer visits.

Multiple simultaneous
extractions possible

For wisdom teeth on the lower teeth, we can perform multiple extractions on the same day to reduce the number of visits and to keep postoperative discomfort short. 4 simultaneous extractions can often be completed within an hour.

About Wisdom Wisdom

What are wisdom teeth?

Wisdom teeth, also known as wisdom teeth or third molars, are the eighth tooth in the row of teeth counting from the front teeth and are located at the very back. They often grow in at an angle or are buried due to lack of space to erupt. In many cases, they do not participate in the bite and often cause cavities in the second molars one molar in front of them, so early extraction may be recommended. For wisdom teeth that are straight and participate in the bite, it is more beneficial to clean them well and leave them in place.

At what age do they grow back?

Individuals vary, but often sprout in their late teens to early twenties.

Is there any pain when it grows?

As for pain when wisdom teeth erupt, there are two types of pain: pain when they push through the gums as they erupt, and pain when they are half-erupted and stains tend to accumulate, causing inflammation of the gums. Even in the semi-erupted state, it is important to brush the teeth thoroughly to keep them clean.

The Best Time to Remove Wisdom Teeth

For lower wisdom teeth, basically the sooner the better. Please note that there is a possibility of swelling for about 2 weeks after the extraction, so please make an appointment in conjunction with your work schedule.

What to Expect After Wisdom Tooth Extraction

bleeding A small amount of bleeding will continue for 1-2 days after the surgery, but do not worry. If bleeding is present, it will stop after 20 minutes of biting the affected area with clean gauze to apply pressure. If heavy bleeding continues, please contact the clinic immediately.
gargling and brushing one’s teeth Brush your teeth as usual except for the wound area, taking care not to hit the wound with your toothbrush. You may also use toothpaste. Do not gargle strongly on the day of the surgery to prevent the blood clot that forms the cap of the wound from coming off.
Medication Take the medication as directed. For painkillers, take the painkiller when it hurts, even if it says two tablets at a time, one tablet may work, and if the pain persists after an hour, take the second tablet. If the pain persists after an hour, take a second pill. If you wish to take additional tablets, please allow at least 6 hours between each dose.
Alcohol/Smoking Avoid drinking alcohol on the day of the procedure, as alcohol consumption may increase blood flow and cause bleeding. Smoking may constrict blood vessels and cause poor wound healing, so please refrain from smoking on the day of the procedure.
meal Please wait at least 2 hours before eating. Drinks may be consumed immediately after.
take a bath Avoid prolonged bathing on the day of the procedure, as increased blood circulation may cause bleeding. Showering is fine.
Other Swelling of the gums, pain, difficulty opening the mouth, and internal bleeding may occur with tooth extraction, but will dissipate in a few days to two weeks.

Removal of Upper Wisdom Teeth

For upper wisdom teeth extraction, the sinus cavity (maxillary sinus) may be perforated. In most cases the hole will close spontaneously, but if you continue to experience symptoms of breath leakage into your nose, you may need to have the hole surgically closed. Please be sure to come to the hospital the next day to have the wound disinfected and the threads removed about a week later.

Lower Wisdom Tooth Extraction

For the extraction of lower wisdom teeth, if the inferior alveolar nerve is close, paralysis or numbness of the lips may occur in rare cases. In such cases, the patient will be given medication to monitor the progress of the procedure, but if the progress is not satisfactory, we may refer the patient to a university hospital.

Swelling after tooth extraction

How much swelling is normal?

The degree of swelling varies from person to person. The degree of swelling also varies greatly depending on how the wisdom teeth grow. It does not interfere with daily life.

How long will the swelling last?

The swelling will subside in about one week, but it will take up to two weeks for the wound to settle to a certain degree. We recommend that you have the tooth removed within one week after the extraction when you do not have any important appointments.

Wisdom teeth and the relationship between wisdom teeth and the alignment of teeth

Is there a relationship between wisdom teeth and tooth alignment?

People often say that their teeth have become misaligned due to the eruption of wisdom teeth pushing the teeth in front of them, but the force of a single wisdom tooth erupting does not cause misalignment of the teeth. Basically, the force of daily biting causes the teeth to try to move forward, and this causes the bite to gradually become misaligned.

For those who are concerned about the alignment of their teeth

Comprehensive support for both wisdom teeth and orthodontic treatment

In many cases, wisdom teeth need to be extracted before orthodontic treatment can begin.At our clinic, we are skilled in wisdom teeth removal for orthodontic treatment because our doctors have experience in numerous orthodontic treatment and wisdom teeth removal cases at Smile Plan Group clinics. Mouthpiece orthodontic
treatment

Even if you are seeing an orthodontist and are told to have your wisdom teeth extracted by another clinic, or if you are told by a general dentist that it is a difficult wisdom tooth extraction and that they will refer you to a university hospital, we can handle all of these cases.

Frequently Asked Questions

Precautions before tooth extraction

What precautions should I take before wisdom teeth removal?

Perform extractions when you are not feeling sick. Eating immediately before may risk vomiting in patients with a strong vomiting reflex. Extraction on an empty stomach is also not recommended, given the difficulty in eating and drinking for several hours after surgery. Go to the tooth extraction having eaten or drank a short time before. Keep your mouth clean for the extraction to reduce the risk of intraoperative infection.

After Tooth Extraction

How much swelling is normal after a tooth extraction?

Although it varies from person to person, sometimes there is no swelling at all, sometimes there is large swelling, and sometimes there are blue bruises on the skin from the chin to the neck area, which then turn yellow, but they heal.

How long will the swelling last?

Generally, it lasts 3 to 4 days, but some people have it for as long as 2 weeks.
