Wisdom Teeth Removal in Turkey
Wisdom tooth removal is a routine oral surgical procedure used to remove one or more wisdom teeth that are impacted, infected, causing pain, or affecting neighbouring teeth. Removing problematic wisdom teeth helps relieve discomfort, protect your oral health, and prevent future complications.
Most patients are able to return home within 1–3 days after wisdom tooth removal. Mild swelling and discomfort are common during the first few days, but following your surgeon’s aftercare instructions will help ensure a smooth recovery and reduce the risk of complications.

THE PROCEDURE
What is wisdom teeth removal?
Wisdom tooth removal is a procedure performed to extract one or more third molars that are impacted, partially erupted, infected, or causing pain and damage to neighbouring teeth. Removing problematic wisdom teeth helps relieve discomfort, prevent infection, reduce the risk of crowding, and protect your long-term oral health.
Unlike routine tooth extractions, wisdom teeth often require a surgical approach because they may be trapped beneath the gums or jawbone. Early removal is commonly recommended when there is a risk of future complications or insufficient space for the teeth to erupt properly.
At Revitalize in Turkey, every wisdom tooth removal is carefully planned using advanced digital imaging to assess the position of your teeth and surrounding structures. Our experienced oral surgeons use modern surgical techniques to ensure safe, comfortable treatment and a smooth recovery, combining exceptional clinical care with the outstanding value and hospitality that have made Turkey a leading destination for dental treatment.

ANSWERS
Frequently asked questions
What are wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth are the third and final set of molars, which usually emerge between the ages of 17 and 25. Some people have enough space for them, while others develop problems because the teeth become impacted or grow at an angle.
When should wisdom teeth be removed?
Wisdom teeth may need to be removed if they are impacted, causing pain, repeated infections, tooth decay, gum disease, damage to neighbouring teeth, or are likely to cause future problems.
Is wisdom tooth removal painful?
No. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, sedation, or general anaesthetic where appropriate, so you should not feel pain during treatment. Some swelling, soreness, and jaw stiffness are normal afterwards and usually improve over several days.
How long does recovery take?
Most patients recover within 7–10 days, although the gums continue to heal over the following weeks. Swelling generally peaks during the first 48–72 hours before gradually improving.
How long will I need to stay in Turkey?
Most patients are able to return home within 1–3 days after wisdom tooth removal, provided healing is progressing normally and your surgeon is happy for you to travel.
What can I eat after wisdom tooth removal?
Soft foods such as yoghurt, soup, mashed potatoes, pasta, scrambled eggs, and smoothies are recommended for the first few days. Avoid hard, crunchy, spicy, or very hot foods until the area has healed.
What should I avoid after the procedure?
Avoid smoking, drinking through a straw, vigorous mouth rinsing, heavy exercise, and touching the extraction site for the first few days, as these can interfere with healing and increase the risk of a dry socket.
Will removing my wisdom teeth affect my other teeth?
No. Removing problematic wisdom teeth does not affect the function of your other teeth. In many cases, it helps protect neighbouring teeth from damage, infection, and crowding while improving your long-term oral health.
