What is wisdom tooth assessment?
Allo Dental Clinic provides wisdom tooth assessment near Yonge and Lawrence in Toronto. Wisdom teeth do not always need removal. They do need assessment when they hurt, trap food, damage nearby teeth, or cannot come through cleanly. Your dentist explains the diagnosis, options, expected fees, and referral needs before treatment begins.
The goal is to understand position, risk, and timing before deciding anything.
We examine the gums and take appropriate imaging to see how the wisdom teeth sit. Then we explain whether monitoring, hygiene support, removal, or referral makes sense.
If removal is likely to be surgical or close to important anatomy, we arrange referral and make sure you understand the reason.
Is wisdom tooth assessment right for you?
