For many of our patients, wisdom teeth (the final molars that arrive in your late teens or early twenties) don’t have enough room to join the rest of your smile safely. When they grow sideways, get stuck under the bone (impacted), or crowd your existing teeth, they can turn from a milestone into a source of constant pressure.
Wisdom tooth extractions in Calgary can help address and reduce the risk of the common issues associated with third molars. At 16th Avenue Dental, we take the mystery and the “horror stories” out of the process, helping make it as comfortable as possible.

Do I Need to Remove My Wisdom Teeth?
Removal is sometimes the right choice, but we do not automatically recommend it. Every smile has a different story. We assess your specific alignment and monitor your wisdom teeth to give you a straightforward recommendation.
We typically recommend removal when we see:
- Persistent Pressure: That dull ache at the back of your jaw that won’t quit.
- Partial Emergence: When a tooth only pokes through partway, creating a pocket that is hard to clean and prone to infection.
- Crowding: When wisdom teeth push against your other teeth and affect their alignment.
- Cyst Formation: Helping care for the health of your jawbone, since fluid-filled sacs can develop around unerupted teeth.
Our Wisdom Tooth Removal Process in Calgary
We know that the idea of an extraction can be intimidating. We’ve designed our process to feel as comfortable and supported as we can.
Comfort-First Care
From the moment you’re in the chair, our focus is on making the experience quiet and controlled. We use local numbing so you should not feel sharp pain (though you may feel some pressure as we remove the tooth). If your case is complex or requires deep sedation, Dr. My Le will coordinate your care with a local specialist.
Clear Recovery Support
A good recovery starts with a clear plan. We give you personalized, actionable advice on how to manage the first 48 hours. Our team will outline what to eat, how to keep the site clean, and which signs of infection to watch out for. Our goal is to help you get back to your campus or office routine as soon as possible.
