Wisdom Teeth Removal
Reduce current (or future) pain and protect the rest of your mouth with our safe and effective wisdom teeth removal treatment.
Expert care for a painless procedure.
Wisdom tooth extraction is one of the most common dental surgeries; almost all patients will go through at least one during their life. If your dentist believes your wisdom teeth are at risk of causing infection, crowding, or decay in your mouth, removal is a safe and simple way of preventing these problems.
- Simple, routine procedure
- Prevent infection & decay
- Stop teeth from crowding
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
If your dentist recommends a wisdom tooth extraction, it is likely a preventative measure to keep the rest of your teeth safe. Wisdom teeth often grow in at an angle, crowding your existing teeth, or may remain only partially erupted and cause infection.
The extraction may be done under local anaesthetic. For more complicated extractions we may refer you to an Oral Surgeon, and there you do have the option of being asleep during the procedure. Recovery is usually quite quick–as fast as two or three days for simple removals.
