Infection or cyst around the wisdom tooth
Causing a gum infection (pericoronitis)

Unable to clean adequately

Wisdom Tooth Extraction You Can Trust
The thought of having an invasive dental surgery can be daunting. Know that our Holland Park practitioners are here to make you feel safe and comfortable.
At your wisdom teeth consultation, we will analyze your teeth placement with a full mouth X-ray. From there, we can determine the type of surgery you will need and next steps.
Sometimes the wisdom teeth are sitting close to or around a nerve. This can make surgery slightly more complex. Your dentist will discuss this with you if that is the case.
Surgery and Recovery
For surgeries performed under local anaesthetic, IV sedation or nitrous oxide, we will see you at the clinic near Holland Park for your procedure. Our professional staff will make sure that you are comfortable, and stress-free in the chair.
Procedures performed under general anaesthetic are done in the hospital.
During the first 3-4 days following the extraction, some discomfort and swelling inside and outside your mouth are normal. We prescribe medication and give detailed post-operative instructions to assist with healing and pain.
We recommend that you arrange for someone to take you home safely following the procedure.Our dentists near Holland Park will provide you with exceptional dental care at an affordable price.
