Wisdom teeth are molars found at the four very back corners of your mouth. Typically, they are the last of your teeth to erupt, occurring during the late teen years or early twenties.
Whilst in some cases wisdom teeth grow without causing any discomfort, in many patients these molars become impacted (fail to emerge) due to insufficient space in the mouth. In such situations, extraction is often recommended.
Some of the symptoms of impacted wisdom teeth include:

If you are experiencing the symptoms of an impacted wisdom tooth, it’s important to see your dentist as soon as possible as extraction will prevent many complications including gum disease and decay.
At Dr. Korol Dental, we offer sedation dentistry services to help patients avoid any pain, anxiety and discomfort during the wisdom tooth extraction procedure.
Our highly-qualified dentists have special training in sedation and extractions that will allow you to remain comfortable during the procedure and remember little to nothing about it afterwards.
It can take up to 2 weeks to fully recover from your wisdom teeth removal procedure. During this time, you may experience:
If you experience any excess bleeding, severe pain or other unusual symptoms, you should contact your dentist immediately.

Dr. Korol is very personable and the quality of her work is exceptional. I was the recipient of a number of composite veneers and was very pleased with the efficiency of the procedure and the end result.

Generous with her time, even on short term notice. I woke up with pain one morning and she was more than willing to give me her immediate professional advice. Would recommend to anyone in the greater Calgary area!

I have been seeing Dr. Korol for the removal of my amalgam fillings. She is a wonderful dentist - very personable and professional, and I would highly recommend her. Having been terrified of dentists in the past, she is very calm and walks me through every step as she goes.
