Wisdom teeth are the third large molars located in the back of the jaw. They usually emerge between the ages of 17 and 25, but often only partially or not at all. When there isn’t enough space in the jaw, they can cause discomfort or complications. As a specialized practice for oral surgery in Pinneberg, we are focused on the safe and gentle removal of wisdom teeth.
Wisdom teeth that do not fully erupt, known as impacted wisdom teeth, often remain trapped in the jawbone or only grow at an angle out of the gums. This can lead to the following issues, among others:
These complications often occur in young adults. Therefore, in many cases, we recommend early removal – ideally between the ages of 17 and 25. At this age, the procedure is usually easier, and healing is faster.
Before we surgically remove a wisdom tooth, we carry out a precise diagnosis. In addition to a clinical examination, we use modern imaging methods such as digital X-ray technology or, in complex cases, digital volume tomography (CBCT). This allows us to accurately assess the position, root alignment, and proximity to sensitive structures such as the inferior alveolar nerve – ensuring safe planning for your wisdom tooth surgery.
The removal of wisdom teeth is performed in our practice on an outpatient basis. Depending on the position of the tooth and your preference, the treatment is carried out under local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia. We perform numerous procedures of this kind each year – routinely, atraumatically, and with maximum preservation of the surrounding tissue.
After wisdom tooth surgery, slight swelling and discomfort are normal. With the right aftercare, wound healing is usually uncomplicated:
We will give you a detailed consultation in advance and provide all instructions for optimal healing.
As a referral-only practice, we perform the surgical removal of wisdom teeth exclusively on behalf of your general dentist. We coordinate the treatment individually with you and the referring colleague – precisely planned, surgically safe, and with great empathy.

Apicoectomy (WSR), technically called apicoectomy, is an effective surgical procedure for the long-term preservation of inflamed or severely damaged teeth. In our practice for Oral Surgery & Implantology at the Pinnau, we use modern diagnostics and microsurgical techniques to offer you a gentle procedure with a high success rate.
During an apicoectomy, we precisely remove the inflamed tip of the tooth root, which continues to cause problems despite previous root canal treatment. At the same time, we thoroughly remove inflamed tissue in the surrounding jawbone. This creates optimal conditions for healing and prevents further spread of the infection.
An apicoectomy (WSR) is considered when conventional root canal treatments have not led to the desired success, for example in cases of:
In our practice, we use digital volume tomography (DVT) to obtain an accurate, three-dimensional image of the affected area. This allows us to precisely assess the position of the root tip and important anatomical structures such as nerves and the maxillary sinus. This enables precise planning and minimizes risks for our patients from Pinneberg, Hamburg, and the surrounding area.
We place great importance on your optimal recovery. After the procedure, we will provide you with comprehensive information about proper aftercare and support the healing process with targeted measures. In most cases, you can resume your daily activities free of discomfort after just a few days.
As a specialized referral practice, we stand for competence, experience, and personal care. We work closely with your general dentist to optimally coordinate your treatment. Our state-of-the-art equipment and many years of experience guarantee you the best possible results.
