Wisdom Tooth Removal in Da Nang
Removal of third molars, including impacted wisdom teeth — planned with CBCT imaging and supported by the hospital anesthesia team for more complex cases.
Wisdom teeth — the third molars at the back of each jaw — often have too little room to come through cleanly. When they become impacted, cause repeated infection, or press on the tooth in front, removal is frequently the sensible option. Healthy wisdom teeth that are easy to clean, on the other hand, are usually left alone.
At Vinmec Picasso, wisdom tooth removal is planned with CBCT 3D imaging inside Vinmec Da Nang International Hospital. Lower wisdom teeth sit close to the nerve that supplies the lip and chin, and upper ones lie near the sinus, so a 3D view helps the team plan the safest route for each tooth. For more complex or impacted cases, the hospital anesthesia team can assess IV sedation or general anesthesia for suitable patients.
Why CBCT planning helps
A flat X-ray shows the tooth in two dimensions; a CBCT scan shows exactly how the roots relate to nearby nerves, bone and the sinus. That detail helps the team decide the approach and explain the specific risks and expectations for your case before anything is booked.
Comfort and recovery
Most removals are done under local anesthesia while you stay comfortable. Afterwards, some swelling and soreness for a few days is normal. You receive written aftercare guidance and a review appointment so healing can be checked, and the team is available if you have concerns during recovery.

Is it right for you?
Often recommended when:
- A wisdom tooth is causing pain, repeated infection or swelling
- A tooth is impacted and pressing on or damaging the neighbouring tooth
- Decay or gum problems around a wisdom tooth cannot be reliably managed
May not be the right option when:
- The wisdom tooth is healthy, fully erupted and easy to clean
- Symptoms may settle with treatment that does not require removal
Suitability is confirmed only after a clinical examination and CBCT 3D imaging. Alternatives are discussed where they exist.
What the treatment involves
Assessment & CBCT imaging
A CBCT 3D scan maps the roots and their relationship to nearby nerves and the sinus, so the safest approach for each tooth can be planned.
Anesthesia decision
Local anesthesia is used for most cases. For anxious patients or impacted teeth, IV sedation or general anesthesia can be assessed with the hospital anesthesia team.
Removal
The tooth is removed, often in sections if it is impacted, to protect the surrounding bone and nearby structures.
Closing & review
The site is cleaned and stitched where needed, and you receive written aftercare guidance and a follow-up review.
Recovery & aftercare
- Swelling, soreness and limited mouth opening are common for a few days and usually ease with ice and standard pain relief.
- Keep to soft foods, avoid vigorous rinsing on the first day, and follow the cleaning instructions you are given.
- Attend the review so healing can be checked; contact the clinic promptly if pain, swelling or fever increases.
