Wisdom Teeth Removal in Albania
For most people, wisdom teeth make their presence known at the worst possible time — a dull ache at the back of the jaw, swollen gums, or a sudden sharp pain that won’t go away. If your wisdom teeth are causing problems, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to keep putting it off.
At KissDent in Tirana, wisdom teeth removal is one of the most common procedures we perform.

What Are Wisdom Teeth — and Why Do They Cause Problems?
Wisdom teeth are your third molars — the last teeth to develop, usually appearing between the ages of 17 and 25. Most adults have four, one in each corner of the mouth. The problem is that by the time they arrive, there’s often simply no room for them.
When a wisdom tooth can’t emerge properly, it becomes impacted — meaning it’s blocked, grows at an angle, or remains partially or fully trapped beneath the gum. This is where the trouble begins.
Even wisdom teeth that do erupt fully can cause issues. Their position at the very back of the mouth makes them difficult to clean properly, leaving them vulnerable to decay, infection, and gum disease over time.

Signs You May Need Your Wisdom Teeth Removed
Not every wisdom tooth needs to come out. But certain signs suggest it’s time to have them assessed:
- Persistent pain or pressure at the back of the jaw
- Swollen, red, or bleeding gums around the back teeth
- Difficulty opening your mouth fully or pain when chewing
- Repeated infections in the gum tissue around the tooth (pericoronitis)
- Crowding — wisdom teeth pushing against neighbouring teeth
- Decay or damage to the wisdom tooth or the tooth in front of it
- Cysts or fluid-filled sacs developing around an impacted tooth
If you’re experiencing any of these, a consultation and a panoramic X-ray will give us a clear picture of what’s happening beneath the surface.

The Different Types of Wisdom Tooth Impaction
Wisdom teeth don’t always come in the same way, and the complexity of removal depends on how the tooth is positioned. At KissDent, we assess every case individually using high-resolution digital imaging before recommending a treatment approach.
Mesial impaction — the tooth angles forward toward the front of the mouth. The most common type.
Vertical impaction — the tooth is upright but blocked and cannot fully erupt through the gum.
Horizontal impaction — the tooth lies completely on its side, pressing directly into the root of the neighbouring molar. Often the most complex to remove.
Distal impaction — the tooth angles backward, away from the other teeth.
Understanding the exact type of impaction allows our surgical team to plan the safest, most efficient approach before touching a single instrument.
The Wisdom Teeth Removal Procedure at KissDent
We believe the best way to ease anxiety is through clarity. Here is exactly what happens when you come to KissDent for wisdom teeth removal.
Step 1: Consultation and Digital X-Ray
Your appointment begins with a clinical examination and a full panoramic X-ray. This gives our specialist a complete view of the wisdom tooth’s position, its roots, and its proximity to the jawbone and nearby nerves. We’ll explain our findings clearly and walk you through the recommended approach.
Step 2: Anaesthesia
Local anaesthetic is administered carefully to ensure the area is completely numb before we begin. You will be fully awake and aware — but you will not feel pain. Many patients are surprised by how comfortable the experience is once the anaesthetic takes effect.
Step 3: The Removal
For a straightforward erupted wisdom tooth, removal is quick and simple. For impacted teeth, a small incision is made in the gum to access the tooth. The tooth may be gently sectioned into two or three pieces — this actually makes removal easier and less traumatic for the surrounding tissue than attempting to remove it whole. The site is then cleaned thoroughly.
Step 4: Closure and Aftercare
Dissolvable sutures are placed to close the site where needed. Before you leave, you’ll receive clear written aftercare instructions and direct contact details for our team. We don’t send you home with a leaflet and a wave — we make sure you know exactly what to expect and how to reach us.
Recovery — What to Expect After Wisdom Tooth Removal
Recovery after wisdom teeth removal is different for everyone, but most patients are back to their normal routine within a few days. Here’s what you can generally expect:
Day 1–2: Some swelling, mild bleeding, and discomfort are normal. Swelling often peaks at around 48 hours before beginning to ease. Rest, apply a cold pack to the cheek in intervals, and take prescribed or over-the-counter pain relief as directed.
Day 3–4: Swelling begins to reduce and discomfort decreases noticeably for most patients. Soft foods are still recommended.
Day 5–7: Most patients feel significantly better. Gentle rinsing with warm salt water helps keep the area clean.
1–2 weeks: Full soft tissue healing. Dissolvable stitches will have broken down on their own.
To support smooth healing:
- Avoid smoking and alcohol for at least 48–72 hours
- Don’t use straws — the suction can dislodge the blood clot and cause a painful dry socket
- Eat soft foods: yoghurt, soup, mashed vegetables, scrambled eggs
- Sleep with your head slightly elevated for the first night
- Avoid vigorous exercise for 24–48 hours
If you experience severe or worsening pain after day 3, or notice signs of infection such as fever or increasing swelling, contact us immediately. Complications after wisdom tooth removal are rare — but we are always available to help.

Sono stato ospite presso la clinica Kissdent di Tirana la scorsa settimana per effettuare degli impianti. Sono rimasto a dir poco sorpreso per la cortesia, la disponibilità, la gentilezza e la professionalità dei medici e di tutto il personale dipendente. Sono stato accolto all’aeroporto dal proprietario della clinica e dall’interprete con molta simpatia e familiarità. Prima di raggiungere la clinica avevo qualche dubbio ma, mi sono ricreduto da subito, quando ho assaporato la tendenza positiva che anima gli operatori (tutti, nessuno escluso). Ho trovato due dottoresse molto pazienti che mi hanno fatto sentire a mio agio e mi hanno ben consigliato sui lavori da eseguire. L’interprete straordinaria, non mi ha mai abbandonato (in caso di difficoltà durante il soggiorno potevo raggiungerla telefonicamente ricevendo sempre grande disponibilità e competenza). Mi sono trovato davvero molto bene. Tornerò volentieri a Gennaio per continuare le cure col piacere di incontrare ciascuno/a di loro.
Siamo stati in questa clinica x fare gli impianti, appena arrivati avevamo molti dubbi e ansia non conoscendo nessuno non sapevamo a chi ci stessimo affidando, poi tutto è svanito appena abbiamo conosciuto Berti, Vera, Alba, Renata e il resto dello staff tutti molto gentili disponibili e professionali, non credevamo che in meno di una settimana avremmo fatto metà del lavoro quando in Italia ci sarebbero voluti anni. Siamo rimasti molto contenti per il lavoro svolto, ritorneremo tra pochi mesi per completare il lavoro. Grazie infinitamente
Compliments to the entire team. Very professional, respect your time and plan around your need. They pick you up from the airport and drop you off as well. Came here with my family and my dad decide to do some treatment as well. In 4 days between me and my dad we have done 7 implants. Doctor is so sweet and you wont feel any pain at all. Same goes for extraction and fillings. The whole team is amazing. Located in the heart of the city of Tirana, very clean and like I said NO PAIN AT ALL. Thanks again everyone. See you soon
I went to Kissdent to see about old crowns (30 years old) and recent work that I had done in the EU that I was not happy with. With a panoramic xray (and visual aesthetic check) it was clear what needed to be done.
Fast-forward 2 weeks and I write now, with 9 beautiful new zirconium crowns. They are mostly back molars but one that I worried about most was my left front tooth. I have a difficult tooth colour to match.
Kissdent staff have done a wonderful job. The clinic and lab are located on the same premises so they are able to adjust the tooth colour and overall bite precisely.
All excellent quality work and material for a very reasonable price. Unbeatable in Europe and North America.
Kissdent clinic is pristine in terms of cleanliness, ambient and warm in atmosphere….but the best is the staff and the relief you feel knowing that you are in good hands. They are very professional and communicative (in english and several other languages). They take the time and do not rush you through.
They can do any form of dentistry…from cosmetics to implants and orthodontics but they do not try to sell you more services than you need. They respect strong and healthy teeth.
Thank you all very much for your great service and for my new smile!!!
Ich bin zum dritten Mal in der Praxis Kiss Dent. Ich bin absolut begeistert!
Ich hab ein Implantat am Frontzahn bekommen. Das war vor einem halben Jahr, die Behandlung war sehr sanft, sehr einfühlsam und ist fantastisch verheilt. Es hat nicht einen Moment wehgetan und ich hab mich jederzeit gut aufgehoben gefühlt.
Die Praxis ist top ausgestattet und die Mitarbeiterin sind alle sehr nett. Die Termine sind pünktlich, es gibt keine Wartezeit und die Arbeit ist absolut akkurat.
Jetzt hat man mir im dortigen Labor zwei Kronen angefertigt, die absolut natürlich und passgenau gearbeitet sind. Wirklich fantastische Arbeit. Die größte Herausforderung, Kronen im Frontbereich, haben die Ärztin und das angeschlossene Labor zu meiner vollsten Begeisterung gemeistert!
Ich kann diese Klinik nur allen sehr ans Herz legen.
Die Reise lohnt sich und ich komme auf jeden Fall wieder.

Frequently Asked Questions
The procedure itself is not painful. Local anaesthesia numbs the area completely before we begin. You may feel pressure or movement as the tooth is loosened and removed — but not pain. Post-operative discomfort is normal and manageable with standard pain relief. Most patients find the experience far less unpleasant than they expected.
A single wisdom tooth removal typically takes 20–45 minutes depending on the complexity of the impaction. If multiple teeth are being removed in one session, allow 1–2 hours for the full appointment.
Not necessarily. Some patients have all four removed in a single session for convenience — particularly those travelling from abroad. Others prefer to treat one or two at a time. Your specialist will advise based on your X-ray findings and your personal preference.
For anxious patients, we offer additional comfort measures and take a particularly gentle, step-by-step approach. Please let us know at your consultation that you feel anxious — this is very common, and our team is experienced in making nervous patients feel at ease.
