Impacted Teeth Treatment in SDA, Hauz Khas, South Delhi

Impacted teeth are a common dental condition where a tooth fails to erupt properly due to lack of space or incorrect positioning. This condition most often affects wisdom teeth (third molars) and can lead to pain, swelling, infection, and damage to nearby teeth.

At Aura Care Clinic, Hauz Khas, we provide advanced diagnosis and painless impacted tooth removal using modern technology and expert care.

WHAT ARE IMPACTED TEETH?

An impacted tooth is a tooth that is partially or fully trapped in the gums or jawbone instead of growing normally.

This usually happens when:

  • There is not enough space in the jaw
  • The tooth grows at an incorrect angle
  • Nearby teeth block its eruption

   Most commonly seen in:

  • Wisdom teeth (third molars)
  • Canines (in some cases)
