Wisdom Tooth Removal in Elk Grove Village, IL

Wisdom tooth removal is often required due to impacted teeth causing pain, swelling, bad taste or odor, or due to difficulty cleaning the adjacent teeth.  Wisdom teeth will cause shifting or crowding of the adult teeth as they start to grow.  The ideal age to remove your wisdom teeth is between 15-21 years.  The reason is that the teeth usually aren't fully formed and the jaw bone is softer.  The teeth are easier to remove at this age and recovery after the procedure is faster.

Dr. Vishal Advani is highly trained in Oral Surgery and removing all teeth, including Wisdom Teeth.  Dr. Advani has removed Wisdom teeth in Elk Grove Village and the Chicagoland area for 13 years.  Our office focuses on surgeries, including wisdom teeth removal, bone grafting, gum grafting and dental implants.  Dr. Advani and his staff will ensure your visit goes as smoothly as possible.  We have multiple 5-star Google reviews that highlight patients' experience with having their wisdom teeth removed.

We offer multiple options to make sure patients are comfortable during the removal of their 3rd molars.  We offer Oral Sedation, Nitrous, and IV sedation at our office. Dr. Advani recommends patients use either a combination of Oral Sedation with Nitrous or IV sedation to have their wisdom teeth removed.  All our sedation options are safe and very effective.

During the procedure, you will be numb and likely sedated and thus the procedure should be pain-free.  After the surgery, you will be numb for 2-6 hours immediately after the surgery.  Stitches are commonly placed and will dissolve on their own after 1-2 weeks. You will be given prescriptions for pain medication, antibiotics, and steroids.  You will apply ice or a cold compress to the sites for up to 20 minutes at a time for the first 2-3 days.  

You will be on a soft diet for the first 5-7 days and will need to avoid drinking through a straw or spitting for the first 24 hours.  Warm salt water rinses are recommended 2-3 times/day after the first 24 hours for the first 5 days. Day by day, the sites will start feeling better.

Most patients are back to school or work within 2-3 days. 

No follow-up appointment is typically needed

Dr. Vishal Advani has been removing wisdom teeth at multiple offices in the Chicagoland area for 13 years.  Dr. Advani was the sole doctor at multiple offices, where he only performed the removal of wisdom teeth.  While no tooth is too difficult to remove, there are rare instances where Dr. Advani may recommend not removing your wisdom tooth, such as a tooth that may never drop into the mouth and may never cause you any problems in the future.  There are also rare times when a tooth is too close to your nerve and a coronectomy would be a safer option for you, which is where the crown portion of the wisdom tooth is removed and the roots are intentionally kept to ensure the safety of your nerve.  Outside of these rare situations, Dr. Advani will be able to help you to remove your wisdom teeth.
