Treatment Overview
Impacted Wisdom Tooth Microsurgery in Korea represents one of the most precise and minimally invasive methods for removing deeply impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth.
This advanced procedure combines 3D CBCT imaging, AI-guided surgical planning, and microsurgical techniques to achieve maximum safety, accuracy, and comfort.
Unlike conventional extractions that require large incisions or bone removal, microsurgery focuses on tissue preservation, nerve protection, and fast recovery.
Korean oral surgeons are global leaders in microsurgical dentistry, using high-magnification microscopes, ultrasonic piezosurgery, and regenerative healing methods to deliver consistently excellent outcomes with minimal discomfort.
Purpose & Benefits
Purpose
- Safely remove deeply impacted or complex-positioned wisdom teeth.
- Protect nerves, sinuses, and surrounding bone structure.
- Minimize tissue trauma for faster, aesthetic recovery.
- Correct or prevent infection, cysts, and gum inflammation.
- Provide a precision-driven, minimally invasive alternative to conventional oral surgery.
Benefits
- Microscopic Precision: High-magnification vision ensures exact surgical control.
- Nerve Safety: 3D CBCT and microsurgical tools protect delicate structures.
- Minimal Incisions: Tiny access openings preserve gum and bone integrity.
- Reduced Pain & Swelling: Less trauma results in faster, more comfortable healing.
- Fast Recovery: Return to normal activities within a few days.
- Enhanced Aesthetic Healing: Maintains natural gum contour and smile harmony.
Ideal Candidates
Microsurgery is ideal for patients requiring complex wisdom tooth removal while prioritizing safety, precision, and recovery comfort.
Ideal Candidates Include:
- Patients with horizontally or vertically impacted wisdom teeth.
- Individuals with roots close to nerves or sinus cavities.
- Those with thin gums or sensitive oral tissues.
- Patients seeking aesthetic and minimally invasive solutions.
- International visitors looking for affordable, world-class oral microsurgery in Korea.
Possible Risks & Complications
While microsurgery significantly reduces complications, minor and temporary effects can occur:
- Mild swelling or tenderness for 1–2 days.
- Slight bleeding or gum sensitivity.
- Temporary jaw stiffness or fatigue.
- Very rare risk of nerve tingling (less than 0.5% with 3D-guided planning).
Korean dental clinics minimize these risks through AI nerve mapping, microscopic visualization, and ultrasonic bone cutting — ensuring precise, controlled surgery.
Surgical Techniques Used
Korea’s Impacted Wisdom Tooth Microsurgery System merges digital diagnostics with microsurgical innovation for precision and patient comfort.
Key Techniques Include:
- 3D CBCT Imaging: Full 3D visualization of tooth, nerve, and bone anatomy.
- AI Surgical Simulation: Virtual modeling of extraction pathway and safety zones.
- Microscope-Assisted Surgery: High-magnification view enhances precision and control.
- Ultrasonic Piezosurgery: Gentle vibration-based bone cutting with zero tissue trauma.
- Micro-Flap Incision: Minimally invasive entry for faster healing.
- PRF Healing Therapy: Platelet-rich fibrin boosts soft-tissue and bone regeneration.
- Laser Hemostasis: Reduces bleeding and sterilizes surgical area for clean recovery.
Recovery & Aftercare
- Apply cold compresses for 24 hours to minimize swelling.
- Eat soft foods and avoid hot or spicy dishes for several days.
- Maintain good oral hygiene with gentle rinsing after 24 hours.
- Take prescribed antibiotics and pain relief as directed.
- Attend digital or in-person follow-ups for healing assessment.
Typical Recovery Time: 3–5 days, depending on extraction complexity.
Most patients experience little to no postoperative pain and can resume normal activities within a few days.
Results & Longevity
Expected Results
- Safe, complete removal of impacted wisdom teeth.
- Minimal bleeding and rapid healing.
- Preservation of gums, bone, and nerves.
- Natural, aesthetic recovery without scarring.
Longevity
- Permanent solution — extracted wisdom teeth will not recur.
- Stable, healthy jawbone and gum integrity maintained long-term.
- Reduced risk of infection or future dental complications.
