Most wisdom tooth removals at Tulip Dental are straightforward same-day procedures under local anaesthesia. For complex impacted cases, Dr. Sumit Firke uses OPG X-ray assessment and surgical extraction protocol — still in-clinic, still same day.
Dr. Sumit Firke has performed over 1,000 tooth extractions including complex surgical wisdom tooth removals at Tulip Dental. His Fellowship in Oral Implantology gives him the surgical training for impacted and horizontally positioned wisdom teeth that many general dentists refer out — handled here in-clinic, same day.
His approach to wisdom tooth removal is systematic: proper OPG X-ray assessment to understand root position and impaction angle, adequate anaesthesia so the procedure is genuinely painless, and clear post-operative instructions so recovery is smooth and predictable.
Need to Come Out Dombivli" class="what-img">Wisdom teeth — the third molars — typically erupt between ages 17–25. Most adults do not have enough space in their jaw for these teeth to emerge fully. When a wisdom tooth becomes impacted (stuck under the gum or against the adjacent tooth), it causes pain, pressure, infection, and often decay in the tooth next to it.
An impacted wisdom tooth left in place does not resolve on its own. It becomes progressively more difficult to remove as the roots continue to develop and bone density increases with age. The best time to remove a problematic wisdom tooth is as soon as it starts causing symptoms — not years later when the roots are fully formed and the removal is more complex.
A full-mouth OPG (panoramic) X-ray shows the exact position of the wisdom tooth, root length, proximity to the nerve, and the degree of impaction. This is the essential step before any surgical extraction — it allows Dr. Firke to plan the procedure with complete information.
Adequate anaesthesia is the difference between a comfortable procedure and an unpleasant one. Dr. Firke administers the injection slowly, allows full onset time, and does not proceed until the area is completely numb. Most patients describe feeling only pressure, not pain.
Simple wisdom teeth: loosened with dental elevators and removed intact. Surgical (impacted) wisdom teeth: a small incision in the gum allows access; the tooth may be sectioned into pieces for easier removal. The socket is cleaned and sutured if needed. Procedure time: 15–45 minutes depending on complexity.
Gauze packing for 30–45 minutes. Ice pack instructions for the first day. Prescription for pain relief and antibiotics if indicated. Written post-operative instructions. Most patients are comfortable within 24–48 hours. Swelling peaks at day 2 and resolves by day 5.

"I had been dreading my impacted wisdom tooth removal for two years. Dr. Firke showed me the X-ray, explained exactly what he was going to do, and was so calm throughout. I felt nothing — just pressure. It was out in 25 minutes. I genuinely cannot believe how easy it was."
"I had all four wisdom teeth removed over two appointments. Dr. Firke removed two per sitting — efficient, painless, and the recovery was exactly as he described. Day 3 I was eating normally. His post-operative instructions were very clear and made recovery completely smooth."
"My wisdom tooth was horizontal — the kind that always gets referred to a specialist. Dr. Firke handled it in-clinic, same day. I was expecting something scary. It was 40 minutes, I felt nothing, and I was back at work the next day. His Fellowship training makes all the difference."
