As impaction is a bit surgical case because we need to trim or reduce some amount of bone, so it is recemended to get it done one by one only. A gap of atleast 2 weeks between both the extractions is necessary, specially after horizontal extraction. tc

Hi
Good Evening
Impactions require surgical removal of the wisdom teeth and may be time consuming.
Removing them may also require removal of a little bone surrounding your impacted tooth.
Hence its advisable to get only one of your impacted tooth removed at a time and to keep at least a gap of 3-4 weeks in-between the removal of teeth so as to allow proper healing.
regards
