Wisdom teeth removal at iSmile Dental in Langley is done with local anaesthesia or sedation, in our clinic, with experienced clinicians. Whether your wisdom teeth are impacted, partially erupted, or causing crowding, we’ll explain your options clearly and only recommend extraction if it’s actually the right call for you.
Not everyone needs them out. We’ll recommend extraction if you have:
If your wisdom teeth are healthy, fully erupted, and you can clean them well, we may simply monitor them. See our guide on signs your wisdom teeth need removal for more detail.
For nervous patients or fully impacted teeth, sedation makes the appointment far more comfortable. Most patients say they don’t remember the procedure. We monitor vitals throughout and you’re driven home afterward.

Cost depends on whether teeth are erupted (simple extraction, $150–$300) or impacted (surgical extraction, $400–$700). All four impacted wisdom teeth typically range $1,500–$2,800 with sedation. Most insurance plans cover wisdom tooth removal as medically necessary. We’re CDCP-approved and direct-bill major insurers.
The procedure itself is painless with proper anaesthesia. Recovery involves 2–4 days of soreness and swelling, controlled with prescribed and over-the-counter pain medication.
Soft foods only for the first 3–5 days: yogurt, eggs, mashed potatoes, soup, smoothies. No straws, no crunchy food, no spicy food. We’ll send you home with a printed list.
Dry socket happens when the blood clot in the extraction site dislodges. It causes severe pain 3–5 days after surgery. It’s preventable by avoiding straws, smoking, and vigorous rinsing for the first week.
Most patients return to desk work in 2–3 days. Avoid heavy exercise for a week.
Not always — research increasingly suggests removing only symptomatic or clearly problematic wisdom teeth. We’ll review X-rays and tell you what we’d actually recommend.
