Wisdom teeth removal is a common procedure for treating pain and crowding issues relating to the erupting wisdom teeth. Wisdom teeth are the rear-most set of molars and typically erupt between the ages of 15-22. They can cause crowding, pain and in severe cases, infection.
Our experienced dentists ensure the process is safe and comfortable, helping you maintain optimal oral health.
Removing impacted wisdom teeth that cause crowding is crucial for avoiding more serious dental issues. Wisdom teeth that push against other teeth can cause misalignment and shift their position. These issues can be more complex, time-consuming and costly to treat as they progress.
The removal procedure can alleviate pain and prevent further damage to existing teeth. It can also remove the need for orthodontic treatment to correct the misalignment of teeth and bites.
We appreciate the idea of dental surgery may be daunting, so our team's primary focus is on your comfort. Our state-of-the-art practice means you are in safe hands from your first appointment.
The procedure is typically performed with a local anaesthetic with most patients reporting only moderate or mild discomfort. If you have sensitive teeth and gums or experience dental anxiety, our team can help tailor the treatment to your needs.

Our dentists recommend eating liquid and soft foods for 24-48 hours after surgery. Soups, yoghurt and smoothies are ideal as they avoid chewing. Avoiding hot liquids such as tea or coffee will also help maintain comfort.
Most patients can resume normal eating and drinking within a week of treatment. If you are unsure about what to eat, speak to our team.
