Impaction
Impacted teeth are a common dental condition that can cause severe pain, swelling, infection, and difficulty in chewing or opening the mouth properly. At Bhanu Dental Care & Implant Centre, we provide advanced and painless Impaction Treatment in Gurgaon using modern surgical techniques and expert dental care. Our experienced oral surgeons specialize in safely removing impacted teeth while ensuring maximum patient comfort and faster recovery.
An impacted tooth is a tooth that fails to erupt properly through the gums due to lack of space, incorrect positioning, or obstruction by surrounding teeth. Wisdom teeth are the most commonly impacted teeth, especially in adults. If left untreated, impacted teeth can lead to serious oral health problems including gum infection, tooth decay, cyst formation, jaw pain, and damage to nearby teeth.
At Bhanu Dental Care, we focus on accurate diagnosis, painless treatment, and personalized aftercare to help patients recover quickly and comfortably.
What Is Tooth Impaction?
Tooth impaction occurs when a tooth remains partially or completely trapped inside the gums or jawbone and cannot erupt normally. This usually happens due to overcrowding, improper tooth angle, or lack of sufficient space in the mouth.
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the teeth most commonly affected by impaction because they erupt at the back of the mouth where space is limited.
Types of Impacted Teeth
Partially Impacted Tooth
The tooth partially erupts through the gum but remains trapped, often leading to infection and food accumulation.
Fully Impacted Tooth
The tooth remains completely buried inside the gum or jawbone.
Horizontal Impaction
The tooth grows sideways and pushes against adjacent teeth.
Vertical Impaction
The tooth is positioned correctly but fails to erupt completely due to lack of space.
Angular Impaction
The tooth grows at an angle toward neighboring teeth or the back of the mouth.
