Should you get your wisdom teeth extracted?
To determine whether your wisdom teeth need removal, a full dental examination is required. Our dentist will assess your teeth and surrounding areas, review your symptoms, and take digital or panoramic X-rays to evaluate positioning and hidden issues. Based on the findings, we’ll recommend whether extraction is needed to prevent current or future problems.
Signs You May Need Your Wisdom Teeth Removed
Symptoms don’t always mean a wisdom tooth needs to be removed. An examination and X-ray help us determine the cause of the problem.
Wisdom Tooth Pain
Pain or pressure at the back of your jaw can happen when a wisdom tooth is erupting, impacted, decayed, or surrounded by inflamed gum tissue.
Jaw Stiffness
A painful or infected wisdom tooth can make it uncomfortable or difficult to open your mouth.
Swelling
Swelling around the gum or jaw near a wisdom tooth can be a sign of inflammation or infection.
Gum Infection
Redness, tenderness, swelling, a bad taste, or repeated inflammation around a partially erupted wisdom tooth can be signs of infection.
Crowding or Pressure
An impacted wisdom tooth can press against the nearby molar and make the area harder to clean.
Decay
Wisdom teeth can be difficult to clean. Food and bacteria can collect around them and increase the risk of decay.
Our Wisdom Tooth Removal Process at Empress Walk Dental
Here’s what you can expect during your visit for wisdom tooth extraction in North York.
3D X-Ray & consultation
We take a detailed exam and a panoramic X-ray to see the exact position of your wisdom teeth.
Local anesthesia & sedation
We use a local anesthetic to numb the area and provide a comfortable treatment for anxious patients.
Extraction
Once you’re comfortable, the tooth is safely removed with minimal pressure on the surrounding tissue.
Recovery & aftercare
We provide clear instructions for healing and dry socket prevention. You will usually feel better within a few days, although full recovery can take a bit longer.
Emergency Wisdom Tooth Removal for Severe Pain
We offer emergency wisdom tooth extraction appointments to quickly handle your wisdom tooth pain, swelling, infection, or intense discomfort. If you are experiencing a wisdom teeth emergency, book your same-day or next-day visit and let us relieve your pain as quickly and safely as possible.
Wisdom Teeth Removal Cost in North York
Wisdom tooth removal typically costs $280–$700 per tooth in North York, ON. Simple removal generally costs less than surgical removal.
Simple extractions generally cost less than surgical removal of impacted or more complex wisdom teeth.
Insurance and CDCP
Eligible patients can use private dental insurance or the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP). We accept CDCP patients and offer direct billing to most major insurance providers.
Under current CDCP guidelines, tooth extractions can be covered when the procedure meets the plan's coverage requirements. Some procedures may require preauthorization, and coverage can vary based on the patient's eligibility and specific treatment.
What to Expect During Wisdom tooth removal Recovery?
- During the first 24 hours, it is important to rest and avoid strenuous activities.
- Applying ice packs to the outside of the face can help reduce jaw swelling.
- Prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication can manage discomfort.
- You should also avoid smoking, drinking through straws, or forcefully rinsing your mouth.

QUESTIONS

Call: (647) 503-4224
How much does a wisdom tooth extraction cost in North York?
The cost ranges between $280 and $700, depending on whether the tooth is fully erupted or impacted.
Does dental insurance cover wisdom teeth removal?
Most dental insurance plans do cover wisdom teeth removal, especially when it is medically necessary.
Are you accepting emergency walk-ins for wisdom tooth pain?
Yes, we do our best to accommodate emergency cases. If you are in significant pain or have swelling, contact us as soon as possible so we can arrange a prompt visit.
What is a dry socket, and how can I prevent it?
A dry socket happens when the blood clot at the extraction site becomes dislodged too early. It can delay healing and cause pain. Avoid smoking, using straws, and vigorous rinsing in the first few days to reduce the risk.
Is it safe to delay wisdom tooth removal?
If your wisdom teeth are impacted or causing crowding, delaying treatment may lead to infection or damage to nearby teeth. A consultation with our dentist can help you decide the right timing.
Is wisdom tooth extraction painful?
During treatment, the area is fully numbed with a local anesthetic, so you won’t feel any pain.
How long does wisdom tooth removal take?
A simple wisdom tooth extraction may take around 20 to 30 minutes. More complex cases, such as impacted teeth or surgical extractions, can take longer.
How long is the recovery after wisdom tooth extraction?
Recovery varies from person to person, but most patients feel better within 3 to 5 days. Full healing of the extraction site can take several weeks.
When can I eat normally again after wisdom tooth removal?
You should eat soft foods for the first few days after your extraction. Most people can slowly return to normal eating within about a week, depending on healing.
