Wisdom Teeth Removal Near You
Wisdom tooth problems can grow slowly and be uncomfortable before you even know it. If there’s not enough room in the jaw, these rear molars can develop sideways, become stuck under the gums, or push against teeth nearby. This can lead to swelling, pressure, infections, and pain when chewing.
At 52nd Dental, we provide comfortable and professional wisdom teeth removal in Calgary to help protect your oral health before small issues become larger concerns. Our dental team carefully examines your teeth and recommends treatment only when necessary.
Why Wisdom Teeth May Need Removal
Wisdom teeth usually occur between the late teenage years and early twenties. Some people never experience complications, while others develop problems because the teeth cannot erupt properly.
Common reasons for wisdom teeth extraction include :
- Wisdom teeth stuck below the gums.
- Swelling or pain in the back teeth
- Displacement or crowding pressure
- Hard to clean around partially erupted teeth.
- Decayed teeth or infected gums, tenderness or pain in the jaw
- Cysts occur around the impacted tooth.
Removing problematic wisdom teeth early can help maintain a healthier and more comfortable smile.

Reasons We Extract Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth extractions, though not always necessary, are usually performed due to an active issue like pain, swelling, decay, or infection, or as a preventive measure against serious future problems. Impaction of one or more wisdom teeth, if left untreated, can lead to damaging consequences, including:
Damage to adjacent teeth: Impacted wisdom teeth can negatively impact the second molars, causing tooth decay, gum disease, and potential bone loss.
Disease: While rare, cysts and tumors may develop around impacted wisdom teeth.
Infection: Trapped bacteria and food under the gum tissue can lead to an infection, which can cause significant pain and risk.
Tooth Crowding: Some propose that impacted wisdom teeth may exert pressure on other teeth, causing them to become misaligned. This theory, however, is not universally accepted and lacks scientific validation.

What Are Wisdom Teeth?
Third molars, more popularly known as wisdom teeth, are typically the final set of four teeth to surface in the oral cavity, usually appearing between the ages of 17 and 25. These teeth are situated at the rear of the mouth, both upper and lower, adjacent to the throat’s entrance.
For many people, the jaw does not provide sufficient room for the wisdom teeth to properly erupt and fully function. When this occurs, the tooth may become impacted, lodged in an inappropriate or potentially detrimental position. If neglected, impacted wisdom teeth can lead to infection, damage to neighboring teeth, and possibly cysts or tumors.
There are various categories, or levels, of impaction based on each tooth’s actual depth within the jawbone:
Soft Tissue Impaction: The tooth’s crown has breached through the bone, but the gum covers part or all of the tooth’s crown and has not adequately positioned itself around the tooth. This condition can lead to infection and/or tooth decay as food can get trapped under the gum due to difficulties in maintaining cleanliness in the area, causing pain and swelling.
Partial Bony Impaction: The tooth has partially emerged, but a part of the crown remains beneath the gum and the surrounding jawbone. The challenge to keep this area clean often leads to infection.
Complete Bony Impaction: The tooth is entirely enclosed by the jawbone, necessitating more complex extraction procedures.
Wisdom Teeth Examination
Before any dental procedure, a comprehensive examination of the wisdom teeth and their surroundings is crucial. Your dentist will take panoramic or digital X-rays to assess the wisdom teeth’s positioning and identify any current or potential future problems. Early evaluation and treatment (usually in the mid-teens) are recommended to detect potential issues and improve results for patients requiring wisdom teeth extraction. Your dentist can only propose the best options for your case after a thorough examination.
What to Expect
The extraction of wisdom teeth is a routine procedure, often performed under local anesthesia, intravenous sedation, or general anesthesia by a dentist trained in office surgery. The procedure doesn’t necessitate an overnight stay, and patients are sent home with postoperative instructions and, if needed, medication to manage any subsequent swelling or discomfort.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wisdom Teeth
In Calgary, the average cost for a single wisdom tooth extraction typically ranges from $175 to $600. For a full set of four impacted teeth, the total cost usually falls between $1,500 and $3,500 depending on the complexity and sedation used.
Many Calgary clinics offer flexible monthly payment plans and third-party financing to make the procedure more manageable. Eligible residents may also access support through the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) or local public health dental programs for lower-cost care.
A simple extraction of an erupted wisdom tooth averages about $250, while surgical removal for an impacted tooth averages $500 to $750. These prices align with the current Alberta Dental Fee Guide used by most dental practices in the city.
Provincial healthcare rarely covers extractions unless performed in a hospital for medical emergencies, but many private insurance plans cover 50% to 80% of the cost. The new federal Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) also provides coverage for eligible seniors, children, and persons with disabilities.
