An impacted tooth
lying sideways or stuck under the gum or bone.
You were told to go to a big hospital.
Many difficult cases can be handled here; the CT shows whether yours can.

How we do it
Why does a 3D CT matter for wisdom tooth removal?
Lower wisdom teeth often sit close to the nerve that gives feeling to the lip and chin, and upper ones close to the sinus. A regular X-ray is flat; a 3D CT shows exactly how the roots, nerve and sinus relate to each other. That lets the surgeon plan the safest way to remove the tooth and tell you honestly about the risks before you decide.
Extraction is carried out by Dr. Dong-hwan Hong, a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon trained at Seoul National University Dental Hospital, whom patients name in their reviews for difficult wisdom teeth. Prosthodontist Dr. Je-woong Yeon is also named by reviewers for wisdom tooth removal. Read more on our specialist dentists page.
