Wisdom teeth removal at Clinica Crocetta in Milan is planned with 3D CBCT imaging and proprietary RELU nerve mapping (precision to tenths of a millimetre), performed with minimally invasive techniques by Dr. Luca Giboli. English-speaking consultation; conscious sedation available.
3D CBCT planning and RELU nerve mapping
Every wisdom tooth extraction at Crocetta is planned on a 3D Cone Beam CT, with the RELU software mapping the inferior alveolar nerve to within a tenth of a millimetre. This is the key to minimising the risk of nerve injury in lower wisdom tooth extractions, especially in horizontally impacted cases close to the nerve canal.
Minimally invasive surgical technique
The clinic uses the EWF technique (Extraction Without Forceps — using only elevators) and piezoelectric sonic surgery, which selectively cuts bone without damaging soft tissue. Documented experience: over 8,000 surgical interventions, with permanent paraesthesia rate of zero in over 3,200 complex cases.
One side at a time or all four together
Patients can choose to remove one wisdom tooth, the two on the same side, or all four in a single session — often under conscious sedation with a dedicated anaesthetist. Operating one side at a time leaves the other side free for chewing during recovery.
Indicative costs
Upper wisdom tooth extraction from €180; lower from €250 (up to €500 for full bony impaction); 3D CBCT with RELU mapping approximately €90. The free first visit defines the personalised plan.
Recovery and aftercare
Most patients return to normal activities in 2–4 days for simple extractions, slightly longer for complex impactions. Written post-operative instructions in English provided. Follow-up check at 7–10 days. Conscious sedation requires an accompanying person.

Martina B. · Wisdom teeth extraction · ★★★★★
I had to have two impacted wisdom teeth removed and I was panicking. Dr. Giboli was fantastic: rapid procedure, painless, with the 3D CT to plan everything safely. Zero swelling and very quick recovery. I felt nothing. For oral surgery in Milan I put myself in the right hands.
Andrea R. · Impacted wisdom tooth · ★★★★★
Horizontally impacted wisdom tooth close to the nerve — a complicated case. Dr. Giboli extracted it with a minimally invasive technique and incredible precision. You can tell from his hospital surgical experience. Everything explained step by step, no post-op pain. An outstanding oral surgeon — I recommend him in Milan.
Chiara V. · All four wisdom teeth · ★★★★★
I had all four wisdom teeth removed in two sessions. Dr. Giboli and the staff made me feel at ease despite my anxiety. Very fast procedures, very clear post-op protocol and no complications. Ultra-modern studio at Crocetta. The best surgery experience I could have had in Milan.
Rosa Marchi · Invisalign Full + extraction · ★★★★★
The studio and Dr. Piasente were recommended to me by a doctor friend. From the very first moment I noticed enormous skill and broad knowledge across the board, both from the gnathological and the orthodontic point of view. He has hands like a fairy — superb delicacy and care. I should add I had a phobia of the dentist and had to have a tooth extracted, and in just two appointments I felt deep peace of mind under his clearly expert eyes. I FELT NOTHING! I want to say it for everyone who, like me, has this strong fear (often unjustified). I also did a full Invisalign treatment — they are official providers — and I have to say I had a great experience. They explained that it is not an automatic treatment as one might think, but it is the doctor who modifies the position of each single tooth. We agreed I’ll come in for a check-up every 6 months — he will definitely be my dentist forever. Thank you so much, Dr. Piasente, you are my hero.
Frequently asked questions
How painful is wisdom tooth removal?
With anaesthesia the procedure is painless; post-operative discomfort is usually well controlled with common analgesics for 2–4 days.
Can I have all four removed at once?
Yes, often with conscious sedation. One side at a time gives easier recovery; all four at once means a single post-op period.
How long is recovery?
Typically 2–4 days for simple extractions, up to 7–10 days for complex impactions. Sports and intense activity can be resumed after 3–4 days.
What is the risk of nerve damage?
Very low at Crocetta thanks to 3D CBCT and RELU nerve mapping: zero permanent paraesthesia recorded over more than 3,200 complex cases.
Is conscious sedation available?
Yes, with a dedicated anaesthetist for anxious patients or for removing all four wisdom teeth in a single session.
