In this complete article, Dr ZNIBER answers all your questions about wisdom tooth extraction in Casablanca: when to extract, how the procedure goes, what to expect afterwards and how to recover quickly.

What is a wisdom tooth?

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last teeth to appear in the mouth, usually between 17 and 25. We have 4 in total — 2 upper and 2 lower — right at the back of the jaw.

They are often a problem because the modern jaw lacks the space to accommodate them properly. As a result, they grow at an angle, stay stuck in the bone or press on the neighbouring teeth.

Impacted wisdom tooth — what is it?

An impacted wisdom tooth is completely or partly trapped in the jawbone. It cannot come through normally and causes pain, infections and complications if it is not treated.

Partially impacted wisdom tooth

A partially impacted tooth has partly come through the gum. It is particularly prone to infection because the flap of gum partly covering it is a breeding ground for bacteria.

When should a wisdom tooth be extracted?

Contrary to popular belief, not all wisdom teeth need to be removed as a matter of course. Dr ZNIBER assesses each case individually. Extraction is recommended in these situations:

Signs that call for urgent extraction

Intense pain at the back of the jaw lasting more than 48 hours
Swelling of the cheek or neck
Infection of the gum around the tooth (pericoronitis)
Fever together with toothache
Difficulty opening the mouth or swallowing

Situations requiring a planned extraction

Impacted wisdom tooth visible on an X-ray
Lack of space causing other teeth to shift
A tooth that cannot be reached with a toothbrush and develops decay
A cyst around the wisdom tooth
Pressure on the root of the neighbouring tooth

When not to extract?

A well-positioned, accessible, healthy wisdom tooth with no symptoms has no reason to be removed. Dr ZNIBER never recommends an unnecessary extraction.

In more complex cases where the extracted tooth cannot be kept, a replacement such as a dental implant can be considered to restore a complete set of teeth.

How is a wisdom tooth extracted in Casablanca?

Step 1 — Consultation and X-ray

Dr ZNIBER starts with a complete clinical examination and a panoramic X-ray to assess the exact position of the tooth, its relationship with the nerve and how complex the extraction will be.

Step 2 — Local anaesthesia

An effective local anaesthetic is injected around the tooth. You feel no pain at all during the procedure. Only slight pressure may be felt — never pain.

Step 3 — Surgical extraction

Depending on the position of the tooth, Dr ZNIBER may:

Extract the tooth directly if it is accessible
Make a small incision in the gum to reach the impacted tooth
Section the tooth into several pieces to make extraction easier

The procedure lasts between 20 and 45 minutes depending on its complexity.

Step 4 — Stitches and aftercare

Once the tooth has been extracted, dissolvable stitches are placed. Dr ZNIBER gives you a complete prescription and precise instructions for a quick, complication-free recovery.

Swelling: normal, peaks on day 2–3, gone in 4 to 5 days

Frequently asked questions — Wisdom teeth in Casablanca

How long does the procedure take?

Between 20 and 45 minutes depending on the complexity. An impacted tooth takes longer than an accessible one.

Can all 4 wisdom teeth be removed at the same time?

Technically possible but rarely recommended. Dr Zniber prefers to proceed in stages to ensure optimal comfort.

When can I go back to work?

Usually the next day for office work. Allow 2 to 3 days if your job is physical.

Do the stitches need to be removed?

Dr Zniber uses dissolvable stitches that disappear on their own in 7 to 10 days. No need to come back to have them removed.

Is the extraction covered by CNOPS or CNSS?

Partly, depending on your cover. Ask at your consultation.

What should I do if I have severe pain after the extraction?

Contact the clinic immediately on 06 97 88 85 80. Severe pain after day 3 may indicate a dry socket that needs prompt care.
