Tooth disimpaction is typically performed under local anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the procedure. Post-surgery discomfort can vary, but pain can usually be managed with prescribed medication.

Impaction refers to the condition where a tooth, such as a wisdom tooth, is unable to emerge properly due to being blocked or misaligned. Extraction is the removal of a tooth, including impacted ones, to relieve discomfort or prevent further complications.

Healing typically takes 1-2 weeks for initial recovery, though full recovery may take a few months. Most patients can return to regular activities within a few days, but it’s important to follow post-operative care instructions to ensure proper healing.

While generally safe, risks include infection, nerve damage, prolonged bleeding, or damage to surrounding teeth. Following care instructions and attending follow-up appointments can minimize these risks.

Before disimpaction, you should avoid eating or drinking for a few hours if you're under anesthesia. Arrange for someone to drive you home post-surgery, and follow any pre-surgery instructions provided by your dentist or oral surgeon
