Wisdom Teeth
Assessment and gentle removal options when wisdom teeth cause pain, crowding, or repeated infection.
- Careful assessment
- Comfort-focused
- Clear aftercare plan
Overview
Wisdom teeth often emerge at an angle or become trapped beneath the gum — leading to pain, infection, and pressure on neighbouring teeth. We assess each case carefully and only recommend removal when clinically necessary, guiding you through the process with clear advice and genuine care.
Good for
- Pain or swelling at the back of the mouth
- Repeated infection around wisdom teeth
- Crowding or pressure on adjacent teeth
- Partially erupted teeth that are hard to clean
Sedation options may be available depending on assessment and complexity.
How it works
What to expect
A clear, step-by-step overview of your wisdom teeth appointment.
Assessment & X-rays
We examine the position of your wisdom teeth using X-rays to determine whether removal is necessary and plan the safest approach.
Treatment planning
We explain the procedure, discuss anaesthetic options, and answer any questions so you feel fully informed and comfortable before proceeding.
Extraction
The tooth is removed under local anaesthetic (or sedation if arranged). We work carefully to minimise trauma to surrounding tissue.
Aftercare & recovery
We provide clear written aftercare instructions and a follow-up plan. Most patients recover comfortably within a few days.
FAQ
Common questions
No — only when they're causing problems or are at clear risk of doing so. If your wisdom teeth are healthy, well-positioned, and easy to clean, we may recommend monitoring rather than removal.
The procedure is done under local anaesthetic, so you shouldn't feel pain during treatment. Swelling and discomfort afterwards is normal and typically manageable with prescribed or over-the-counter pain relief.
Most patients feel back to normal within 3–5 days for straightforward extractions. More complex impacted teeth may take up to a week or more.
Sedation options may be available depending on the complexity of your case and your level of anxiety. We'll discuss this during your assessment appointment.
