A painful wisdom tooth can turn your Seoul trip into a nightmare. Whether it's suddenly flaring up or you've been putting off extraction back home, Happy Yein Dental Clinic offers same-day wisdom tooth assessment and extraction. Our surgeons trained at Seoul National University perform hundreds of extractions yearly — including difficult impacted wisdom teeth. Located 2 minutes from Hoehyeon Station in Myeongdong.

🔍 Do You Need Wisdom Tooth Extraction?

Pain or swelling at the back of your jaw
Partially erupted tooth — food gets trapped, causing infection
Impacted tooth — pressing against neighboring teeth, visible on X-ray
Pericoronitis — inflamed gum tissue around a partially erupted tooth
Recurring infections — antibiotics give only temporary relief

We take a panoramic X-ray and CT scan to assess the position of your wisdom teeth and plan the safest extraction approach.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you extract an impacted wisdom tooth the same day?

In most cases, yes. After CT scan assessment, we can perform surgical extraction immediately. Very complex cases (close to nerve) may require a planned surgery.

How long does wisdom tooth extraction take?

Simple extraction: 15-30 minutes. Surgical extraction of impacted tooth: 30-60 minutes. You can walk out of the clinic afterward.

Will I be unconscious during the procedure?

We use local anesthesia (you're awake but feel no pain). IV sedation is available for anxious patients — please ask when you call.

I'm a tourist — can I get all 4 wisdom teeth removed at once?

We can remove 2 on the same side in one visit. Removing all 4 at once is possible but not recommended for tourists as recovery is more challenging.
