Why Choose Family Dental for Wisdom Tooth Removal?

Experienced Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons

Complex and impacted wisdom teeth require specialised care. At Family Dental, every surgical extraction is performed by experienced Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons who have extensive expertise in handling even the most challenging cases with precision and safety.

Advanced 3D CBCT Imaging

Before surgery, we use 3D Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) to accurately assess the position of your wisdom tooth, surrounding bone, and nearby nerves. This detailed planning helps minimise risks and allows for a safer, more predictable procedure.

Comfortable & Painless Procedure

Your comfort is our priority. We use advanced local anaesthesia and gentle surgical techniques to ensure that your wisdom tooth extraction is virtually pain-free. For anxious patients, additional comfort options can also be discussed.

Faster Healing & Minimal Swelling

Our minimally invasive approach reduces trauma to the surrounding tissues, helping to minimise swelling, discomfort, and recovery time. Where required, fine sutures are placed to support faster healing and improve post-operative comfort.

When Should a Wisdom Tooth Be Removed?

Your dentist may recommend wisdom tooth removal if you experience:

• Persistent pain at the back of the mouth
• Swollen or infected gums around the wisdom tooth
• Recurrent food impaction and difficulty cleaning
• Damage or decay affecting neighbouring teeth
• Cysts or infection around the impacted tooth
• Orthodontic concerns caused by lack of space
• Difficulty opening the mouth or chewing comfortably

Early evaluation can often prevent more serious complications and make the extraction procedure simpler.

What to Expect During Wisdom Tooth Extraction

At Family Dental, your treatment follows a carefully planned process:

1. Comprehensive clinical examination and digital X-rays or CBCT scan.
2. Detailed explanation of the procedure and personalised treatment plan.
3. Administration of local anaesthesia to ensure complete comfort.
4. Gentle removal of the wisdom tooth using minimally invasive surgical techniques.
5. Placement of sutures, if required, followed by detailed post-operative instructions and medications.

Most patients are surprised by how quick and comfortable the procedure is.

Recovery After Wisdom Tooth Removal

Initial gum healing generally takes 1 to 2 weeks, while most patients can return to their normal daily routine within 2 to 3 days. Mild swelling and discomfort during the first few days are completely normal and can be effectively managed with prescribed medications and cold compresses.

Our team provides comprehensive aftercare instructions and remains available to answer any questions throughout your recovery, ensuring a comfortable healing experience.
