Wisdom tooth extraction in Lima starts at S/ 700 (USD 200) at The Dental Clinic, depending on the position and complexity of the tooth. It is performed by an oral and maxillofacial surgery specialist under local anesthesia, with the option of conscious sedation, at our Miraflores and San Isidro locations. Initial recovery usually takes 3 to 5 days. The procedure is also known as wisdom tooth removal or third molar surgery.
We treat both simple and complex cases, including impacted wisdom teeth and retained third molars. In many cases, extraction is a recommended step before starting invisible orthodontics or braces, to keep the teeth from shifting during treatment. Book your evaluation today.
The wisdom tooth, also known as the third molar, is the last tooth to come into the mouth. In many cases it doesn’t have enough room to erupt and causes pain, infection or shifting of the neighboring teeth. Extraction consists of removing that tooth in a controlled way to prevent or resolve these complications.

After the clinical and radiographic evaluation, we give you an exact quote for your case.
After the extraction, a blood clot forms that protects the bone and allows healing. If it becomes dislodged, dry socket (alveolar osteitis), a painful complication, can develop. These instructions are meant to protect that clot and control inflammation.

Yes. Before starting treatment with clear aligners, it is often recommended to extract wisdom teeth that are impacted or about to erupt, so they don’t push the other teeth during treatment and to reduce the risk of relapse.
At The Dental Clinic we perform both treatments with the same team: the extraction, with the option of conscious sedation for greater comfort, followed by the planning of your invisible orthodontics with 3D scanning for a more predictable result.
Your wisdom tooth extraction is planned and supervised by Dr. Lilia Demartini (COP 21568), a specialist in Oral Rehabilitation and Aesthetic Dentistry with more than 20 years of experience in Peru, Germany and the USA. She leads the comprehensive evaluation of your case, in coordination with our team of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery specialists, aiming for a safe, precise procedure and a comfortable recovery.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and, when the case calls for it, conscious sedation, to make it as comfortable as possible. Mild discomfort in the following days is normal and is managed with the prescribed medication.
The initial phase lasts a few days (3-5 days), although complete healing can take several weeks. Following the post-operative instructions speeds up the process.
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks: pain, swelling, infection or bleeding. Careful planning, proper post-operative care and follow-up with the specialist help reduce them.

If you need a dental procedure but you're afraid of the dentist, this is the ideal place for you. I've had two wisdom teeth removed on two occasions and it's been the best experience, compared to the two other places I went to. The dentists are super attentive and patient. Plus, now during the pandemic they have excellent biosafety protocols.
Very grateful to Dental Clinic, excellent service. Dr. Oscar Rojas is a master at surgery and the assisting staff is first-rate, and Dr. Lilian Demartini was very kind giving the final instructions! Overall, from reception until you leave, everything was excellent! Blessings!
I should have had my wisdom teeth removed many years ago, but my fear of the dentist kept me from doing it. A few weeks ago I found Dental Clinic online and they gave me the confidence I needed to have the extractions done. The process was quite fast, painless and very professional. I recommend Dental Clinic for their great care and their honesty when giving a diagnosis.
