An impacted tooth is one that cannot fully erupt into the oral cavity or remains completely beneath the gum line. This condition most often affects third molars — “wisdom teeth” — and less commonly, canines or premolars. The main causes of impaction include lack of space in the dental arch, abnormal tooth position in the jaw, dense bone tissue, or hereditary anatomical features.
An impacted tooth may remain asymptomatic for a long time but can eventually cause discomfort — pressure on adjacent teeth, jaw pain, gum inflammation, or even cyst formation. In some cases, it grows at an angle or horizontally, damaging the roots of neighboring teeth.
Delaying the removal of an impacted tooth can lead to serious complications such as inflammation (pericoronitis), abscesses, shifting of teeth, bite misalignment, or even nerve damage. Additionally, bacteria tend to accumulate around the tooth, causing bad breath and infections.
Professional impacted tooth extraction at RELAXDENT in Lviv is performed using modern equipment, precise diagnostics, and reliable anesthesia. The procedure is painless and carried out by an experienced oral surgeon, ensuring the safety of neighboring teeth, preventing complications, and restoring comfort during chewing.
In the early stages, impaction may not cause any noticeable symptoms — many patients discover it accidentally during a routine check-up or X-ray. However, as the tooth begins to press on adjacent ones or partially erupts through the gum, discomfort and inflammation may occur.
Common signs of an impacted tooth include:
– Pain or pressure in the jaw area that worsens when chewing
– Swelling, redness, or tenderness of the gums around the “wisdom tooth”
– Bad breath or a foul taste
– Headache or radiating pain to the ear or neck
– Difficulty opening the mouth
– Shifting or misalignment of teeth
If the tooth partially erupts, the gum around it may become inflamed, forming a pocket that traps food and bacteria — this often leads to pericoronitis (inflammation around the impacted tooth). Without treatment, the condition can worsen, causing abscesses, facial swelling, and fever.
Tooth impaction is not random — it results from a combination of anatomical, genetic, and local factors.
The main causes include:
– Lack of space in the dental arch
– Excessively dense jawbone tissue
– Incorrect tilt or rotation of the tooth bud
– Hereditary anatomical traits
– Trauma or inflammation affecting tooth development
– Hormonal or metabolic disorders
– Delayed loss of baby teeth
Each case is unique, so accurate diagnostics are essential. At RELAXDENT, we use 3D computed tomography to precisely determine the position of the impacted tooth, its stage of development, and any potential risks. This allows us to plan the extraction with maximum precision — painlessly, safely, and without complications.
The dentist examines the oral cavity, assesses the position of the impacted tooth, and creates a personalized extraction plan based on the patient’s individual features
Using 3D X-rays, the exact location, angle, and proximity of the tooth to the nerves are determined, allowing the procedure to be performed safely and without risk
Modern local anesthesia is administered before the extraction to completely eliminate any pain or discomfort
The oral surgeon carefully removes the tooth, cleans the area, treats it with antiseptics, and, if necessary, applies sutures to promote faster healing
