Dr. Mahesh Pund · Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon

Wisdom Tooth & Difficult Tooth Removal

Impacted, angled or deeply buried wisdom teeth handled with dedicated surgical training — including cases referred in from other dental practices.

About the Procedure

What it involves

Not every wisdom tooth extraction is routine. Impacted teeth, unusual root angles, and proximity to nerves or sinuses call for surgical judgment beyond a standard extraction. As an Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon, Dr. Mahesh Pund plans each case on imaging first — assessing the tooth's exact position relative to nerves and bone — before deciding the safest surgical approach, which is why many of these cases arrive as referrals from other dentists.
