Wisdom Tooth Removal in Sector 48, Gurugram
Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars that usually appear between the late teens and mid-twenties. Many people have enough room for them and never have a problem. Others find that their wisdom teeth come in at an angle, get stuck partway under the gum or bone (impacted), or only partly break through. When that happens, they can cause pain, swelling, repeated infections, or damage to the tooth next to them. Removal is usually recommended when a wisdom tooth is causing symptoms, is likely to cause problems later, or is making it hard to clean the area properly.
Who typically needs this treatment
You may be a candidate for wisdom tooth removal if you have ongoing pain near the back of your jaw, swollen or bleeding gums around the tooth, a bad taste or odour that will not go away, difficulty opening your mouth fully, or repeated infections in the same spot. Sometimes a wisdom tooth causes no pain at all but is spotted on a routine X-ray as impacted or poorly positioned, and removal may still be advised to prevent future problems.
What happens at your visit
First visit: examination and X-ray
Dr Lokesh Yadav will examine your mouth and take an X-ray to see the exact position of the wisdom tooth, its roots, and how close it is to nearby nerves and teeth. This helps decide whether the tooth can be removed simply or needs a more careful surgical approach. Your medical history and any medicines you take will also be reviewed at this stage.
Second visit: the removal
Most wisdom tooth removals are done under local anaesthesia, so you stay awake but the area is completely numb. Depending on the tooth's position, this may be a straightforward extraction or a minor procedure involving a small gum incision. You will be talked through what to expect before starting, and the procedure itself is usually completed in a single sitting.
Follow-up visit
A follow-up visit is arranged to check healing, remove any stitches, and make sure there is no infection. If you have concerns before this scheduled visit, you can call the clinic at any time.
What changes the cost from case to case
The effort needed to remove a wisdom tooth varies from patient to patient, which is why we do not quote one fixed figure here. Things that affect the case include:
- Whether the tooth has fully erupted or is impacted under gum or bone
- The position and angle of the tooth and its roots
- Whether a simple extraction or a minor surgical approach is needed
- Whether one wisdom tooth or more than one needs removal
- Any additional care required for infection or swelling beforehand
Because of this, treatment is priced case by case after examination. Our price list page has the clinic's starting prices, and Dr Lokesh Yadav can give you a clearer estimate once he has seen your X-ray and examined the tooth.
Aftercare
Good aftercare makes a real difference to how comfortable your recovery is. In general, you should:
- Bite gently on the gauze placed after the procedure for as long as advised
- Avoid rinsing, forceful spitting, or using a straw on the first day
- Eat soft, cool foods for a few days and avoid chewing on the treated side
- Take any prescribed medicines exactly as directed, completing the full course if antibiotics are given
- Avoid smoking and alcohol until you are told it is safe
- Rinse gently with warm salt water once advised, to keep the area clean
Mild swelling and discomfort for a few days is normal. If you notice heavy bleeding, worsening pain, fever, or symptoms that are not settling, contact the clinic promptly.

Frequently asked questions
Does wisdom tooth removal hurt?
The procedure itself is done under local anaesthesia, so the area is numb and you should not feel pain during removal. Some soreness and swelling afterwards is normal and usually settles within a few days with the medicines and aftercare advice given to you.
How long does recovery take?
Most people feel noticeably better within three to four days, though full healing of the gum can take a couple of weeks. Recovery time depends on how the tooth was positioned and whether the removal was straightforward or surgical.
Do all wisdom teeth need to be removed?
No. Many wisdom teeth that have enough room and are healthy can stay in place. Removal is usually suggested when a tooth is causing pain, infection, damage to neighbouring teeth, or is impacted in a way that is likely to cause problems later.
How much does wisdom tooth removal cost?
This depends on factors like whether the tooth is impacted and whether one or more teeth need removal, so we do not quote a fixed figure here. Our price list page has the clinic's starting prices, and Dr Lokesh Yadav can give you a clearer idea after an examination and X-ray.
Is wisdom tooth removal done under general anaesthesia?
Most cases are comfortably managed under local anaesthesia in the clinic. Whether any additional sedation is appropriate would be discussed with you based on your specific case and medical history.
