Some dental problems require more than a filling or a crown. When infection has progressed beyond what root canal treatment can resolve, a tooth is impacted and causing damage, or surgical removal is the most appropriate course of action — oral surgery is the next step.
At Dr. Wendy's Dental Clinic in CBD Belapur, surgical procedures are performed by a specialist. The most common reason patients in Navi Mumbai visit us for oral surgery is wisdom teeth — but our services cover extractions of all kinds and several other procedures that require a surgical approach.

Wisdom Tooth Removal in CBD Belapur
Wisdom teeth — the third molars — are the last adult teeth to erupt, typically between the ages of 17 and 25. When they erupt fully in proper alignment and the jaw has enough space for them, they cause no problems. When they do not — which is common — they can cause:
- Persistent pain and swelling at the back of the jaw
- Partial eruption with gum tissue trapped over the crown (pericoronitis)
- Pressure against adjacent teeth, causing crowding or damage to the tooth in front
- Cysts forming around an unerupted tooth
- Repeated infections in the gum overlying an impacted tooth
Not Every Impacted Wisdom Tooth Needs Immediate Removal
Some impacted wisdom teeth remain stable for years without causing symptoms. The decision to remove is based on clinical assessment: your symptoms, the X-ray position of the tooth, and the risk of future problems. Dr. Wendy will go through your X-rays with you and explain the options clearly — including why removal may or may not be the right call in your case.
What to Expect During Oral Surgery at Our Belapur Clinic
Before the Procedure
A clinical examination and X-rays are taken to plan the surgical approach. Your medical history, current medications, and any allergies are reviewed in detail. You will receive clear instructions about what to eat or avoid beforehand, and what to arrange for your recovery.
During the Procedure
Oral surgery at Dr. Wendy's Dental Clinic is performed under local anaesthesia. You will feel movement and pressure during the procedure but not sharp pain. The amount of time the procedure takes varies with complexity — a straightforward extraction is much quicker than the removal of a deeply impacted wisdom tooth.
After the Procedure — Recovery
Most patients in CBD Belapur manage recovery at home. Swelling and soreness for two to four days after a surgical extraction is normal. You will be given clear written post-operative instructions covering what to eat, what to avoid, how to manage discomfort, and signs to watch for. Dr. Wendy is accessible for follow-up if any concerns arise during recovery.
When Is Extraction the Right Choice?
Dentistry prioritises saving natural teeth wherever possible. Extraction becomes appropriate when:
- A tooth is too severely damaged by decay or fracture to restore with a crown
- Gum disease has caused significant bone loss around the tooth root
- An impacted tooth is actively causing damage to the adjacent tooth
- A tooth is the source of persistent infection that root canal treatment cannot resolve
- Orthodontic treatment requires the removal of specific teeth to create space
Oral Surgery Cost in CBD Belapur
The cost of oral surgery in Belapur depends on the complexity of the procedure. A straightforward simple extraction costs considerably less than the surgical removal of a deeply impacted wisdom tooth with a difficult position. All costs are discussed at the assessment appointment, before the procedure is scheduled. There are no surprise charges.
