Wisdom Tooth Surgery
Assessment and removal options for painful, impacted or problematic wisdom teeth.
Wisdom teeth can become impacted, crowded, decayed or infected. An examination, and sometimes an X-ray, helps the dentist understand their position and discuss whether treatment is needed.
When to arrange an assessment
Pain, swelling, difficulty cleaning, decay or repeated infection around a wisdom tooth can be reasons to book an examination. Symptoms alone cannot show whether removal is needed.
The dentist assesses the tooth and discusses monitoring, cleaning or removal options based on your individual situation.
If surgery is recommended
The team explains the proposed procedure, anaesthesia options, recovery and after-care before you decide. The approach depends on the tooth's position and complexity.
Follow the written after-care instructions and contact the clinic if you have questions or a concern during recovery.
Treatment suitability, steps and outcomes vary. The dentist will assess your needs and explain options before care begins.
