Wisdom Teeth Removal for Long-Term Comfort & Health
Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars to emerge, often in your late teens or early twenties. In many cases, they don’t have enough room to grow properly, and so they become impacted or misaligned. This can lead to pain, swelling, and infection.

Relieves pain, swelling, and discomfort
-
Prevents overcrowding or shifting of teeth
-
Stops recurring infections and gum inflammation
-
Reduces risk of decay in surrounding teeth

Promotes long-term oral health
From X-Rays to Aftercare

Impaction & Alignment Check
We identify any impaction, crowding, or misalignment concerns before planning treatment.
Extraction Approach
We offer local anaesthesia for comfort, followed by either a simple or surgical extraction depending on the complexity of your case.
Follow-Up Care
We stay in touch post-procedure to ensure everything is healing properly and comfortably.
Frequently Asked Questions About Wisdom Tooth Removal
Does wisdom tooth extraction hurt?
No. With local anaesthesia the procedure is comfortable. You may feel pressure, but no pain during the treatment.
How long does it take to heal after an extraction?
Initial healing takes 1–2 weeks. Complete bone healing can take a few months, depending on the complexity.
How many wisdom teeth can be removed at once?
All four can be removed in a single appointment if needed. Your dentist will advise what’s best for you.
Will my face swell after removal?
Mild swelling is normal and peaks around day 2–3. We’ll give you aftercare instructions to reduce it.
Will I need time off work?
Most patients return to normal activities the next day, though rest is advised for 24 hours.
Do all wisdom teeth need to be removed?
Not always. If they’re healthy, fully erupted, and not causing issues, they may not need removal.
