Tooth Impaction
Tooth impaction is a common dental condition managed at Moolchand Hospital by experienced oral and maxillofacial surgeons. An impacted tooth is one that fails to fully erupt into its correct position in the dental arch due to insufficient space, an abnormal angle of eruption, or obstruction by adjacent teeth or bone. Wisdom teeth (third molars) are most frequently impacted, though canines and premolars may also be affected.
Impacted teeth can cause severe pain, recurrent gum infections (pericoronitis), crowding of adjacent teeth, damage to neighbouring tooth roots, cyst formation, and decay in the partially erupted tooth. Early assessment and timely surgical management prevent these complications.
At Moolchand Hospital in Lajpat Nagar, our oral surgeons perform thorough evaluation using digital panoramic radiographs and 3D CBCT scans to assess the exact position, angulation, and depth of the impacted tooth relative to vital structures including nerves and sinuses. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia or sedation, ensuring complete patient comfort throughout.
Surgical removal involves reflecting the gum tissue, removing a small amount of overlying bone if necessary, sectioning the tooth for ease of removal, and suturing the site. Post-operative healing is typically smooth, with most patients returning to normal activity within a few days.
Moolchand Hospital's oral surgery team provides comprehensive pre-operative counselling, precision surgical technique, and attentive post-operative care to ensure the safest and most comfortable experience for patients undergoing impacted tooth removal.
Our team of globally acclaimed super specialists has pioneered several tooth impaction surgeries.
