Wisdom Teeth Removals Stones Corner
Although not everyone has four wisdom teeth, many people born with wisdom teeth experience jaw pain, sore throats, bleeding gums, and teeth alignment issues as they start to emerge. Dentists in Annerley believes in trying to save your natural teeth whenever possible, however, when it comes to wisdom teeth it’s best to take a proactive approach. You may only need a single wisdom tooth extracted or up to all four extracted. We offer expert wisdom teeth removal near Stones Corner to prevent unnecessary pain and suffering.
If you have enough room your mouth for the wisdom teeth to emerge, we will choose not to operate as long as there is no decay or sign of infection.
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 Extraction
Are you looking for an experienced dentist near Stones Corner for wisdom teeth extraction? Dentists in Annerley provide high-quality dental care to the South Brisbane region. At your consultation, we will take a full mouth image, also called an OPG x-ray, and evaluate the condition of your wisdom teeth. We will assess if the teeth are sitting close to a nerve, and if there has been any damage or signs of infection.
If the x-ray indicates that the roots of your wisdom teeth are close to or curved around a nerve, we will perform a 3D (CBCT) scan before we schedule the extraction.
On The Day of Surgery and Healing
Before your procedure, we will discuss what sedation options work best for your circumstances. There is no need to travel far from Stones Corner for local anaesthetic, IV sedation or nitrous gas—we can perform the surgery in the chair at the clinic. We will make sure your experience is comfortable, safe and stress-free.
If you prefer general anaesthetic, we will perform the procedure at the hospital.
After the procedure, you should have minimal discomfort during the next 3-4 days of healing. Our dentists will most likely recommend some painkillers to help you heal. You can also rinse your mouth with warm salty water and place ice packs on your cheeks to help with the pain.
Medical certificates can be provided on request.
