Oral surgery Specialist care, Palarivattom
A wisdom tooth stuck under the gum, a broken root that will not come out, or a tooth that has to go before an implant can go in: these are jobs for a surgeon's hands. An oral and maxillofacial surgeon is the dental specialist for surgery of the mouth, jaws and face.
At 32 Sparkles Dental Clinic in Palarivattom, Kochi, surgical extractions and wisdom tooth removal are carried out by our MDS oral and maxillofacial surgeon, Dr Jaeson Painatt. Clinical protocols are overseen by our founder, Dr Nikita Menon, a dentist with 19+ years of clinical experience.
Swelling around a wisdom tooth, or bleeding after an extraction that will not stop? Bite firmly on clean gauze and call us. We keep same-day emergency slots.
01 Conditions
Most patients see an oral surgeon for a tooth that cannot simply be lifted out. The usual starting point is wisdom tooth pain, a swollen gum at the back of the mouth, or a tooth that has broken off at the gum line.
Send us your X-ray of the tooth; it shows how deep it sits and how difficult removal will be.

Surgical work at our clinic is carried out by one oral and maxillofacial surgeon, who also reviews you after surgery.
Removes impacted wisdom teeth and difficult teeth, and supports implant cases that need surgical input.
For implant cases, Dr Jaeson works alongside our founder and implantologist, Dr Nikita Menon, when a case needs surgical input, such as removing a tooth and preparing the site for an implant.
03 Overview
An oral and maxillofacial surgeon is a dentist with a three-year MDS in surgery of the mouth, jaws, face and neck. Within a dental clinic, most of that training is used for operations on teeth and the bone around them: removing impacted teeth, taking out roots that have broken, small biopsies, and surgery that prepares the jaw for dental implants.
A general dentist can remove a tooth that is fully through the gum and has straight roots. When a tooth is buried, angled, close to the nerve in the lower jaw, or near the sinus in the upper jaw, the surgeon's training in cutting bone safely and closing the wound well makes recovery more predictable.
If a wisdom tooth sits close to the nerve on your X-ray, ask for a surgeon to assess it before any attempt to remove it.
04 Treatments
The oral surgery treatments below each have their own page with the steps, recovery and costs.
Removing a wisdom tooth that is impacted, causing infection or damaging the tooth in front.
Removing a tooth or root that needs the gum opened or bone removed.
Removing a tooth that cannot be saved, with a plan for what replaces it.
When the space needs filling afterwards, the surgeon plans the extraction with our implant dentist so the bone is protected for a later single tooth implant.
We tell you before surgery how long it will take and what recovery will be like.
Call to discuss surgeryAsk a question05 When to see one
Only when it is causing problems or is likely to. A wisdom tooth that has come through fully, is easy to clean and bites against the tooth above can usually stay. Removal is advised when the tooth causes repeated infection of the gum around it, decay in the tooth in front, a cyst, or damage to the neighbouring root.
The NHS advises against removing wisdom teeth that are causing no problems. Our surgeon follows the same principle: if the tooth is healthy and doing no harm, it is monitored on X-rays rather than removed.
06 How we work
A surgical extraction at 32 Sparkles Dental Clinic in Palarivattom is planned before the day, so the time in the chair is short and predictable.
A full X-ray shows the root shape, the angle of the tooth and how close it is to the nerve in the lower jaw. A 3D CBCT scan is added when the tooth sits very close to the nerve.
Medicines, blood thinners, diabetes and blood pressure are reviewed, and any adjustment is agreed with your doctor.
Local anaesthetic numbs the area completely. You feel pressure and movement but not sharp pain.
The gum is opened if needed, a little bone may be removed, and the tooth is often divided so it comes out in pieces with less force.
The site is cleaned and stitched, and a review is booked for about a week later.
Plan two days of rest after a lower wisdom tooth removal; most swelling peaks on the second or third day and then settles.
07 Cost
In Kochi, a routine tooth extraction generally costs ₹1,000 to ₹8,000 per tooth. Surgical extractions and impacted wisdom teeth are priced after an X-ray, because the work depends on how deep and angled the tooth is. These are indicative market ranges collected from Kochi clinic listings, not a quotation from 32 Sparkles Dental Clinic.
| Treatment | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Simple extraction | ₹1,000 to ₹8,000 per tooth |
| Surgical extraction of a root or tooth | Quoted after X-ray |
| Impacted wisdom tooth | Quoted after X-ray |
| CBCT scan, when needed | Quoted with the plan |
Deeply impacted teeth, roots close to the nerve, a CBCT scan, removing more than one wisdom tooth, and treating an infection first.
Teeth that are fully through the gum, removal before repeated infections set in, and treating several teeth in one sitting when it is safe.
Your final cost depends on several factors, including the position of the tooth and the type of surgery needed. An in-person evaluation with an X-ray is required before we can give you an estimate.
Oral surgery is usually paid on the day of the procedure. Ask at the front desk whether EMI is available.
Ask whether the quote includes the review visit and stitch removal, so the total is clear before the day.
You get a written estimate after your X-ray has been reviewed.

A first oral surgery visit at 32 Sparkles Dental Clinic takes about 20 to 30 minutes. The surgeon examines the area, reviews or takes an X-ray, explains the procedure and recovery, and answers your questions.
Surgery is usually booked for a separate appointment, so you can plan rest afterwards. Eat a light meal beforehand, and bring a list of medicines, especially blood thinners.
10 Honest limits
Most dental surgery can be done safely in the clinic under local anaesthetic. Some cases are better managed in a hospital, where general anaesthesia and more support are available, and we will say so plainly.
We refer or plan hospital care when:
We will also advise keeping a tooth when a root canal and crown can save it.
Ask what the plan is if the tooth turns out harder to remove than expected; a surgeon should explain this before starting.

15 FAQ
A simple wisdom tooth can take 15 to 20 minutes. An impacted tooth that needs bone removed may take 30 to 60 minutes.
Most people return to work in two to three days. Swelling and stiffness settle over about a week, and the gum heals over a few weeks.
Often, yes, if it is safe and you prefer one recovery period. Some people choose one side at a time so they can still chew on the other side.
Dry socket happens when the blood clot is lost from the socket, leaving the bone exposed. It causes increasing pain two to four days after an extraction. It is treated by cleaning and dressing the socket.
Wait until the numbness wears off, then eat soft, cool food on the other side. Avoid hot drinks, straws and smoking for the first day.
Often, yes. Some stitches dissolve on their own; others are removed at the review visit about a week later.
There is a small risk of temporary numbness of the lip or tongue when the tooth sits close to the nerve. The X-ray assessment shows this risk, and the surgeon will discuss it with you beforehand.
