Wisdom Teeth Removal Highgate Hill
Have you been suffering from jaw pain, sore throats or bleeding gums around your back teeth? If so, your wisdom teeth might be the culprit! Dentists in Annerley offers expert wisdom teeth extractions near Highgate Hill.
Most patients we see in the clinic do not have enough space for their wisdom teeth to erupt through the gum. In this case, they become tough to clean, and can damage adjacent teeth.
Avoid pain, decay, infection, crowding and cysts by removing your wisdom teeth before they become a nuisance. In some cases, you may only need a single wisdom tooth removed, or you may need up to all four extracted. Our dentists will walk you through the right steps for your individual circumstances.
The main reason to remove wisdom teeth include:
- No space for it to erupt
- Impacted
- Causing damage to the adjacent teeth
- Infection or cyst around the wisdom tooth
- Causing pain or pressure
- Causing a gum infection (pericoronitis)
- Early removal due to higher risk of issues while roots are yet to fully form
- Unable to clean adequately
- Orthodontic reasons
Before Your Wisdom Teeth Extraction
Looking for wisdom teeth extraction near Highgate Hill? Look no further than Dentists in Annerley.
At your consultation, we will take an OPG x-ray to assess the state of your wisdom teeth. This full mouth image will allow us to see where the wisdom teeth are sitting. If the teeth have caused any damage, if there is an infection or if the teeth are sitting close to the nerve and/or surrounding structures, further action might be needed before performing the extraction.
On The Day of Your Extraction
Most wisdom teeth extraction surgeries can be done conveniently at our clinic right outside Highgate Hill. Extractions at the clinic are done under local anaesthetic. We will make sure you are comfortable, and you will not feel any pain during the surgery.
For more complex surgeries or nervous patients, there is the option to use sedation techniques, including nitrous, IV and general anaesthetic. Our dentists can provide nitrous and IV sedation at the clinic for your convenience. General anaesthetic must be done in hospital.
Post surgery, your dentist will provide post-operative instructions and likely prescribe medication.
We expect healing to take 3-4 days.
We can provide medical certificates on request.
