Impacted or problematic wisdom teeth affect millions of Canadians. Our board-certified oral surgeon Dr. Steven Leung DDS MD provides safe, comfortable removal — often in a single appointment.
General dentists can remove simple wisdom teeth, but impacted or deeply embedded wisdom teeth carry higher risks best managed by an oral surgeon. Dr. Steven Leung's dual DDS and MD training means you receive hospital-level surgical expertise in a comfortable office setting.
Many patients prefer IV sedation (twilight sedation) for wisdom tooth removal — you remain relaxed and comfortable with little to no memory of the procedure.
The ideal age is between 17–25, when the roots are not fully formed and healing is fastest. However, wisdom teeth can be removed at any age if they are causing problems.
Removing all four wisdom teeth typically takes 45–90 minutes. Simple erupted teeth may take less time; impacted or complex cases may take longer.
Stick to soft foods for the first 3–5 days: yogurt, smoothies, mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs. Avoid hard, crunchy, or spicy foods, and don't use straws for at least 24–48 hours.
Follow your post-op instructions carefully: no smoking, no straws, no vigorous rinsing for 24 hours. If you experience worsening pain 3–5 days after surgery, call us immediately.
