Impacted Wisdom Teeth in vienna
What Are Wisdom Teeth?
Third molars are commonly referred to as wisdom teeth. They are usually the last teeth to develop and are located in the back of your mouth, behind your second molars. Their development is usually completed between the middle teenage years and early twenties, a time traditionally associated with the onset of maturity and the attainment of wisdom.
Wisdom Teeth Presentation
To provide you with a better understanding of wisdom teeth, we have provided the following multimedia presentation. Many common questions pertaining to wisdom teeth are discussed.
Do You Need Relief from Wisdom Tooth Pain?
Don’t suffer any longer! Dr. Bonacci can gently extract wisdom teeth to prevent future complications.
What Is An Impacted Tooth?
Although most people develop and grow 32 permanent adult teeth, many times their jaws are too small to accommodate the four wisdom teeth. When inadequate space prevents the teeth from erupting they are called impacted. This indicates their inability to erupt into the proper position for chewing and cleaning.
Types Of Impactions
We will need to see you for a consultation to determine if you will benefit from wisdom tooth removal. A special x-ray of your mouth and jaws (panorex) will be taken to determine if your wisdom teeth are impacted, if there is room for them to erupt, and how difficult it will be to have them removed.
- Soft Tissue Impaction: There is not enough room to allow the gum tissue to retract for adequate cleaning of the tooth.
- Partial Bony Impaction: There is enough space to allow the wisdom tooth to partially erupt. However, the tooth cannot function properly in the chewing process, and creates cleaning problems, among others.
- Complete Bony Impaction: There is NO space for the tooth to erupt. It remains embedded in the jaw bone or if even partially visible requires complex surgical techniques for removal.The impacted wisdom tooth may also be in an unusual position and difficult to remove. This situation can also arise when the shape or size of the jaw bone and other facial structures make removal of this tooth significantly more complex.

I am an older person who needed to have a couple of wisdom teeth extracted. Not always an uncomplicated procedure for an older person. However, I found that I was in good hands with Dr. Bonacci. He really demonstrated that he knows what he is doing. I was impressed. I had no complications at all. Everything went very smoothly. I am really happy that I went to Dr. Bonacci for this procedure and can only recommend him.

I needed to have my wisdom teeth out with a short turn around time and was very nervous to get the procedure done. Dr. Bonacci and his team were incredibly accommodating, friendly, and made the procedure as stress free as possible. The instructions given before and after getting your teeth removed are clear and easy to follow. I will definitely use Dr. Bonacci if additional care is needed and would recommend him to anyone who needs to get their wisdom teeth removed.

Dr. Bonacci is such an amazingly skilled oral surgeon. I had a very severe impacted tooth sitting deep inside my gum. It was very close to my facial sensory nerves. I was worried that sensory nerves might be damaged during the surgery. In fact, Dr. Bonacci warned me that it was going to be a difficult surgery. But he did such a wonderful job. He extracted my impacted tooth without any damage to my sensory nerves. And the surgery went very smoothly. My recovery was rapid and without much pain. I highly recommend any one who needs an oral surgery go to see Dr. Bonacci. Thank you so much, Dr. Bonacci.

My experience with my wisdom teeth removal was excellent. I apparently had "dinosaur teeth" so the incisions had to be larger than normal, but Dr. Bonacci didn't run into any problems and made a clean job of it. The recovery has been exactly as they told me it was going to be, three days of increasing swelling with a turning point on the fourth day. The staff were all very nice and explained everything about the surgery and recovery clearly and succinctly. Thank you!
