Purposeful Tooth Extraction
At times, wisdom teeth just need to go.
As holistic dentists, we know that the approach of removing wisdom teeth by default is outdated. But there are still times when taking out one or a few wisdom teeth is better for your long-term oral health. For urgent relief or proactive care—we’re ready to help.
Tooth Extraction For Pain Relief
If pressure, inflammation, or an infection is causing pain, wisdom teeth extraction can offer lasting relief.
Impacted Tooth Extraction
Extracting impacted teeth helps you avoid damage to nearby teeth and reduce the risk of decay or cysts.
Partially-Erupted Tooth Extraction
Taking these out makes tooth cleaning easier and decreases the possibility of gum infections or decay.

Wisdom Teeth Removal FAQ
1. Is wisdom teeth removal covered by insurance?
Coverage varies between plans, but most do provide some amount of coverage for wisdom teeth removal. If you’re eligible for the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), it provides coverage for tooth extraction and related costs like scans, anesthesia, and sedation. Whether you receive full or partial coverage will depend on your income and co-payment level.
2. Can I be “asleep” for my wisdom teeth removal?
For safety reasons, we can’t put you to sleep completely during your wisdom teeth removal surgery. That said, we can offer you light to moderate sedation on top of the standard dental anesthetic—for most people, it’s more than enough to help them feel comfortable and relaxed during the procedure.
3. Will I need new x-rays or other scans?
If you’ve had x-rays taken within the past few years and haven’t experienced any major mouth injuries, you probably won’t need new ones. However, if we check your x-rays and see that your wisdom teeth are positioned near nerves or larger blood vessels, we might suggest a targeted CT scan. It’ll make your surgery more precise and reduce the risk of complications.
4. How soon can you remove my wisdom teeth?
It depends on a few factors. If your wisdom teeth need to be extracted urgently because of pain, we’ll do our best to schedule you in ASAP, typically within a week. If you’re having wisdom teeth removed as a precaution or to support a less urgent treatment like Invisalign, then your surgery will probably be a few weeks after you book the initial consultation.
