A Bit About Wisdom Teeth

Not everyone is born with a complete set of wisdom teeth—in fact, some of us are born with no wisdom teeth at all!

Many people with wisdom teeth experience issues when they begin to emerge. If you live in Dutton Park and your wisdom teeth have started to break through the gum, come see us at Dentists in Annerley for a stress-free consultation.

Wisdom Teeth Removal Dutton Park

We offer expert wisdom teeth extraction in the Dutton Park area. We can extract a single tooth or up to all four teeth if needed.

Wisdom teeth issues are common as people come into adulthood. Many people don’t have sufficient space in their mouth for the extra teeth, or the teeth may be located in the wrong area of the mouth.

Other reasons you may need an extraction include:

Damage to the adjacent teeth
Infection or cyst around the wisdom tooth
Causing pain or pressure
Gum infection (pericoronitis)
Unable to clean adequately
Orthodontic reasons

Our knowledgeable dentists can assess your situation and decide if an extraction is suitable for you.

The main reason to remove wisdom teeth include:

  1. No space for it to erupt
  2. Impacted
  3. Causing damage to the adjacent teeth
  4. Infection or cyst around the wisdom tooth
  5. Causing pain or pressure
  6. Causing a gum infection (pericoronitis)
  7. Early removal due to higher risk of issues while roots are yet to fully form
  8. Unable to clean adequately
  9. Orthodontic reasons

Prior To Removal

Before removal, you can come to see us in our Dutton Park clinic for an assessment. That assessment will include an OPG x-ray to see where your wisdom teeth are sitting.

Our dentists will determine if you have any infection or damage to the surrounding area.

If the x-ray indicates that the roots of your wisdom teeth are close to or curved around a nerve, we will require a 3D (CBCT) scan to further investigate.

On The Day Of Your Procedure

Most wisdom teeth can be removed in the chair under local anaesthetic, meaning you will stay conscious during the procedure. With local anaesthetic, the rest of your mouth will be numbed so you will not feel any pain. There’s no need to travel far from Dutton Park, as this can be done from our clinic.

For more complex cases, there are options for sedation. We can provide nitrous sedation, IV or general anaesthetic. You will be asleep during the removal process if you are given general anaesthetic. General anaesthetic is performed in the hospital, while nitrous and IV sedation can also be conducted at our South Brisbane dental clinic.

Recovery usually takes 3-4 days, aided with prescribed medication.
