Complex wisdom tooth extraction is a surgical dental procedure performed when a wisdom tooth is impacted, partially erupted, deeply positioned, or located close to nerves and surrounding structures. Such cases cannot be managed with simple extraction techniques.

The procedure may involve creating a gum incision, removing a small amount of bone, and sectioning the tooth to allow safe removal with minimal trauma. It is performed under local anesthesia with appropriate pain control. Complex wisdom tooth extraction helps relieve pain, prevent infection, cyst formation, and damage to adjacent teeth, while supporting proper healing and long-term oral health.
