Dr. Sigel's Comprehensive Training
Dr. Sigel has extensive experience in complex extractions, including wisdom teeth removal. He attended an intensive surgical training course in Guatemala, where he gained hands-on experience performing challenging wisdom teeth extractions. This training has allowed him to confidently address even the most difficult cases.
Why You Need Your Wisdom Teeth Removed
Wisdom teeth generally emerge in your late teens to early twenties. While some individuals may have no issues, others experience complications as these teeth can grow in awkward positions. In these cases, wisdom teeth can cause problems such as:
Crowded Mouth
Wisdom teeth can cause overcrowding when there’s not enough space in the mouth. This can shift other teeth and lead to alignment issues.
Infections
Partially erupted wisdom teeth create an opening for food and bacteria to enter. This can result in painful gum infections and swelling.
Damaging Neighbouring Teeth
Impacted wisdom teeth can push against the second molars, putting pressure on neighbouring teeth and increasing the risk of infections.
Cysts & Tumours
In rare cases, cysts or tumours can develop around impacted wisdom teeth. These can damage the jawbone or nerves and may require additional treatment.
Our Wisdom Teeth Removal Process
At Lakeview Dental, we prioritize a smooth and stress-free surgical procedure.
1.
IV Sedation Consultation
Your process begins with a consultation to discuss IV sedation, which is our standard for wisdom teeth removal. Dr. Sigel will review your health history, address concerns, and guide you through the procedure to make sure you’re relaxed and informed.
2.
The Extraction Procedure
On the day of your extraction, our team will be there to provide ongoing support from the moment you walk in the door. Dr. Sigel will administer IV sedation and then carefully remove your wisdom teeth, using his advanced training to manage any complexities.
3.
PRF Therapy for Faster Healing
After your extraction, we use Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) to speed up healing. PRF is made from your own blood and applied to the extraction site to promote faster recovery and minimize the risk of complications.
4.
Aftercare
After your procedure, we provide detailed post-op instructions to guide you through your recovery. You'll also receive take-home information for easy reference. Our team is always available to answer questions and support you every step of the way.
Post Extraction Aftercare
Pain Management
Pain is a common outcome after wisdom teeth removal, but it can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers or prescribed medications if necessary.
Dietary Restrictions
For the first few days, stick to soft foods and liquids, gradually reintroducing harder foods as you begin to heal and feel more comfortable.
Oral Hygiene
Maintaining your oral health is essential, but avoid brushing or flossing near the extraction site for the first 24 hours to allow healing.

The first thing a patient notices is the pristine condition of the office and it only gets better from there. The staff is friendly and kind, they made senior patients feel very comfortable. Their work is first class, the Dentist is young but he instills confidence, I was very pleased with my visit to the Lakeview Dental and am returning next week as is my Husband.

I just started to see Dr Sigel and his team in September, after being referred to the Dr by
my partner. This is my first time seeing a dentist in Canada since immigrating from Santiago, Chile 1 year ago.
I had a great dentist back home but was a little worried with whether dentistry was different in Canada. I was very pleased with my experience with Dr Sigel’s team.
My first appointment was the typical cleaning and X-rays. The hygienist was great! A very small cavity that I knew about from a year ago was now at a stage that needed attention. Dr Sigel did an amazing job. Completely painless and quick.
Without doubt, I highly recommend Lakeview Dental’s team.

Our family has been so happy with Lakeview dental. The hygienists have all been fantastic and we trust Dr. Seigel and his advise. My toddler had his first dentist visit here, and by his second visit he was comfortable and happy to let Dr. Seigel look at his teeth. Great office all around!

I've seen many dentists in my life - Dr. Sigel is one of the best (thank you for doing this). Three visits - three very quickly and professionally repaired teeth.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does recovery take?
Most patients recover within 3-7 days, though it may take up to two weeks for the full healing process.
Is the procedure painful?
With the use of IV sedation, you’ll be completely comfortable during the procedure. Any discomfort after the extraction is typically manageable with prescribed pain medication.
How can I minimize swelling?
Applying an ice pack to your face in the first 24 hours can help reduce swelling. Avoid excessive movement of the mouth to promote quicker healing.
