Impacted, infected or crowding wisdom teeth removed calmly — with clear costs, sedation options and a realistic recovery plan before you book.
Home › Dental Services › Wisdom Tooth Removal › Mississauga City Centre
Wisdom teeth arrive between roughly 17 and 25, and there is often no room left for them. If yours are impacted, repeatedly infected or pushing the teeth in front of them, removal is usually the right call. For patients around Mississauga City Centre and Square One, Eglinton Oak Dental is a direct run west along Eglinton Avenue West to 3960 Eglinton Avenue West, Unit 12, with free parking outside — a meaningful difference on a day when you are going home with gauze in your mouth. Our main wisdom tooth removal page covers the procedure in full.
Warning Signs
When wisdom teeth need to come out
Pain at the Back of the Jaw
Persistent ache behind the last molar, often worse when chewing.
Recurring Gum Infection
Pericoronitis — a swollen, tender flap of gum over a partly erupted tooth.
Impaction on X-ray
A tooth angled into the neighbouring molar, damaging it where you cannot see.
Decay You Cannot Clean
Wisdom teeth sit where a toothbrush barely reaches, so cavities are common.
Crowding
Pressure that undoes orthodontic work — often noticed as lower front teeth shifting.
Or: Leave Them Alone
Healthy, fully erupted, cleanable wisdom teeth do not need removing. We will say so.

What removal day looks like
- Imaging and planning: we check root shape and the position of the nerve before anything is booked
- Anaesthetic: local freezing, with sedation available if you would rather not be fully aware
- Access: for impacted teeth a small gum incision, and sometimes the tooth is sectioned to remove it cleanly
- Removal and cleaning: the socket is irrigated and debris removed
- Stitches: usually dissolvable, gone within one to two weeks
- Aftercare: written instructions, gauze, and a number to call if anything worries you
A simple extraction takes about 20 minutes; a fully impacted lower wisdom tooth can take 45 minutes or so.
Recovery: what is normal and what is not
Normal: swelling, jaw stiffness, mild bruising, and discomfort that improves each day. Not normal: pain that gets worse from day three, a foul taste, or fever — that pattern suggests dry socket or infection and needs a call, not a wait. Take two or three days off around the procedure if you can, and book it before a weekend rather than before an exam or a flight.

Investment
How much does wisdom tooth removal cost in Mississauga?
The variable is difficulty, not location: an erupted upper wisdom tooth is quick, a fully bony lower one is not. Most private plans cover extractions as a basic or surgical service at 50–80%, and eligible patients may have coverage under the CDCP. Our detailed guide covers wisdom teeth removal cost and recovery in Mississauga.
Aftercare that actually prevents dry socket
Dry socket happens when the blood clot protecting the socket is dislodged, exposing bone. It is painful and entirely preventable. For the first 24 hours: no rinsing, no spitting, no straws, no smoking, and nothing hot. Bite firmly on the gauze for the first 30–45 minutes. From day two, gentle warm salt-water rinses after meals. Stick to soft, cool foods — yogurt, soup once it has cooled, scrambled eggs, smoothies eaten with a spoon rather than a straw. Keep your head slightly elevated on the first night to reduce throbbing.
Do all four have to come out at once?
Not necessarily. Removing all four in one appointment means one recovery period and one course of time off, which most patients prefer. Removing them one side at a time means you can always chew on the other side, which suits people who cannot take time off work. Neither is medically superior — it is a scheduling decision, and we will plan it around your life.

Frequently asked questions: wisdom tooth removal in Mississauga City Centre
How much does wisdom tooth removal cost in Mississauga?
A simple extraction is typically $200 to $350 per tooth, a surgical extraction $350 to $600, and a fully bony impacted tooth $500 to $900. All four together commonly total $1,200 to $3,000.
Does wisdom tooth extraction hurt?
Not during the procedure — the area is fully frozen, and sedation is available. Afterwards expect soreness and swelling that peaks around day two and improves steadily from there.
How long is the recovery?
Most people are back to normal activity within about a week. Swelling peaks at 48 hours, and the socket continues closing for two to four weeks.
What is dry socket and how do I avoid it?
Dry socket is a dislodged blood clot leaving bone exposed, and it is painful. Avoid rinsing, spitting, straws and smoking for the first 24 hours, and it is largely preventable.
Should I have all four removed at the same time?
It is a scheduling choice. All four at once means one recovery period; one side at a time lets you keep chewing normally. Neither approach is medically superior.
Do wisdom teeth always need to be removed?
No. Healthy, fully erupted wisdom teeth that you can clean properly can stay. Removal is recommended when they are impacted, repeatedly infected, decayed or damaging the tooth in front.
Is wisdom tooth removal covered by insurance or the CDCP?
Most private plans cover extractions at 50 to 80 percent as a basic or surgical service. Eligible patients may have coverage under the Canadian Dental Care Plan.
How far is the clinic from Square One?
We are a direct drive west along Eglinton Avenue West, typically 15 to 20 minutes from Square One, with free parking directly outside the clinic.
