Wisdom Teeth Removal and Tooth Extractions
At Pavilion Dentistry, we perform both simple extraction of already erupted teeth and more complicated extractions involving the removal of impacted and erupted wisdom teeth.
Importance of Removing Your Wisdom Teeth
By the age of eighteen, the average adult has 32 teeth; 16 teeth on the top and 16 teeth on the bottom. Your wisdom teeth, also known as your third molars, are the last teeth at the very back of your mouth. When your wisdom teeth align properly and gum tissue is healthy, wisdom teeth do not have to be removed. Unfortunately, this does not always happen.
The average mouth is made to hold only 28 teeth. It can be painful when 32 teeth try to fit in a mouth that holds only 28 teeth. This is why in many cases it is important to remove your wisdom teeth.
The removal of wisdom teeth is necessary when your wisdom teeth are prevented from properly erupting within the mouth. They may grow sideways, partially emerge from the gum and even remain trapped (impacted) beneath the gum and bone. Impacted teeth may take many positions in the bone as they attempt to find a pathway that will allow them to erupt successfully.
Most people are advised to remove their wisdom teeth, as early extraction will help to eliminate the problems associated with impacted wisdom teeth, such as:
- Bacteria and plaque build-up
- Development of cysts
- Tumor development, infection and jaw and gum disease
- Crowding of the mouth and pushing straight teeth out of alignment

Your Tooth Replacement Options
A single implant replaces one missing tooth with a titanium post and custom crown. It looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth while preserving surrounding bone and avoiding changes to healthy adjacent teeth.
Multiple Teeth Replacement
Missing several teeth? Implant-supported bridges restore multiple teeth using strategically placed implants, giving you a fixed, permanent solution without replacing every tooth individually.
All-on-X in St. Catharines: Full Arch Restoration
All-on-X uses as few as four strategically placed implants to support a complete arch of permanent teeth. It is the ideal solution for patients with most or all teeth missing, or those with multiple failing teeth.
Key benefits include:
- Teeth placed the same day as surgery in many cases
- Prevents bone loss and facial changes
- No adhesives, slipping, or clicking
- Full chewing function restored
- Easy maintenance with regular brushing and cleanings
The All-on-X Treatment Process in St. Catharines
Consultation and 3D Imaging: Advanced cone beam CT imaging allows our specialist to assess your bone structure and build a precise, personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Implant Surgery: Implants are placed under IV sedation or general anaesthesia for your complete comfort. Temporary teeth are often attached the same day as surgery.
Healing Phase: Over three to six months, your implants fuse naturally with the jawbone through osseointegration, creating a stable, permanent foundation.
Final Restoration: Your custom-crafted permanent teeth are attached, completing your All-on-X in St. Catharines smile transformation.
Sedation Options for Your Comfort
We offer two sedation levels to ensure a stress-free All-on-X experience:
IV Sedation: Produces a deeply relaxed state. You remain comfortable and largely unaware of the procedure throughout.
General Anaesthesia (GA): Full unconsciousness for patients with significant anxiety, complex cases, or extensive procedures. Administered and monitored by a qualified professional.
Frequently Asked Questions About All-on-X in St. Catharines
Am I a candidate for All-on-X in St. Catharines?
Most adults with missing or failing teeth are potential candidates. Bone density, general health, and lifestyle factors are all assessed during your consultation. Conditions like diabetes require careful evaluation but do not automatically disqualify you.
Is the All-on-X procedure painful?
Surgery is performed under sedation or GA, so you won't feel pain during the procedure. Post-operative discomfort is normal and manageable with medication. Most patients find recovery more comfortable than expected.
How long does All-on-X treatment take?
The full process typically takes three to nine months from consultation to final restoration. Many patients receive temporary teeth on surgery day so you are never without a functional smile.
What is the difference between All-on-4 and All-on-6?
The number of implants depends on your bone density and clinical needs. Our St. Catharines implant specialist recommends the most appropriate option during your personal consultation.
Do I need bone grafting before All-on-X
How long do All-on-X implants last?
With proper care, implant posts are designed to be permanent. The prosthetic teeth may need adjustment over time depending on wear and individual factors.
