WISDOM TEETH REMOVAL

Wisdom tooth removal. Clear advice. Comfortable care.

Wisdom teeth can cause pain, infection or problems for the teeth around them. We can assess your wisdom teeth, discuss whether removal is necessary, and explain the options available to you.

Many wisdom teeth can be removed comfortably in the dental chair under local anaesthetic, without the need for treatment in hospital. We’ll explain what to expect during the procedure and provide clear instructions to help you manage your recovery afterwards.

Every wisdom tooth is different, and some more complex cases are best managed by a specialist. Where removal is suitable in our practice, having treatment with your regular dentist can provide a straightforward and convenient option without the additional costs that may be associated with specialist care.

Careful assessment. Straightforward treatment. Support from start to finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Wisdom teeth that are healthy, functioning and easy to clean may not need removal. We assess their position, surrounding gums and neighbouring teeth before recommending treatment.
Local anaesthetic is used to numb the area during treatment. You may feel pressure or movement, but you should not feel sharp pain. Some discomfort, swelling and tenderness are common afterwards, but usually very minimal and controllable with readily available medication
The cost depends on the position of the tooth, the complexity of removal and whether surgical treatment is required. We provide an estimate after examining your teeth and reviewing any necessary X-rays.
Much quicker than you'd think! For most simple cases, many people can resume routine activities within a day or two. For more complicated cases, swelling and discomfort are often most noticeable during the four to five days, but any pain is usually managed quite easily with over the counter medications such as Panadol or Nurofen.
Many wisdom teeth can be removed safely under local anaesthetic in the dental chair. This can be much more affordable than going to the hospital and having sedation or a general anaesthetic.
It's recommended to arrange an assessment for wisdom teeth even if you aren't having any particular issues. Wisdom teeth can cause potentially serious issues later, so it's a great idea to assess them early when there's nothing wrong yet.
