WHY WISDOM TOOTH EXTRACTION?
Wisdom teeth often lack room to come through properly. They can become impacted, painful or infected, and can damage neighbouring teeth. Removing them carefully brings relief and protects your oral health.
THE PROCESS
We plan every wisdom tooth removal using X-rays and take care to keep you comfortable throughout.
An X-ray shows the position of the wisdom tooth and nearby nerves.
The area is numbed with local anaesthesia, and other comfort options can be discussed.
The tooth is removed gently. If it is impacted, a small opening in the gum may be needed.
We give aftercare advice and review your healing to ensure it is going well.
THE BENEFITS
Stops repeated pain and swelling behind the last teeth.
Prevents decay and damage to the teeth in front.
Makes cleaning the back of the mouth easier.
Avoids infection and crowding problems.

GOOD TO KNOW
Find answers to common questions about wisdom tooth extraction.
No. Only those causing problems or likely to cause problems need removal. We examine and X-ray them first.
The area is numbed, so you should feel no pain during the procedure. Some soreness and swelling afterwards is normal.
Removal usually takes 20 to 60 minutes, depending on how the tooth is positioned.
Most people feel better in three to five days, with swelling peaking at about two days, and full healing taking a few weeks.
Soft, cool foods for the first few days. Avoid hot, spicy or hard foods, and do not use a straw.
Many people rest for a day or two. We will advise you based on how complex your case is.
