Why Extraction May Be Necessary
Wisdom teeth often emerge between the ages of 17 and 25 and may not have enough room to grow properly. They can become impacted, cause pain, infection, or disrupt the alignment of other teeth.
Left untreated, problematic wisdom teeth can lead to gum disease, cysts, damage to neighbouring teeth or jaws.
For these reasons, extraction is often recommended as the safest and most effective solution to protect your long-term oral health.
Our Procedure – How It Works
- Consultation & Assessment
We’ll begin with a detailed examination and digital imaging of your jaw and wisdom teeth. This allows us to determine whether extraction is necessary, and to plan the best approach for your situation. - Anesthesia & Comfort
Depending on complexity and your comfort needs, we can provide local anaesthesia, sedation or other appropriate options. Mayo Clinic+1 - Extraction
In the procedure, the gum tissue may be gently opened and any bone covering the tooth removed. The wisdom tooth may be removed whole or in sections to minimise trauma. - Post-Removal & Healing
Once the tooth is out, the area is cleaned, may be stitched, and gauze is placed to manage bleeding. You will be given specific instructions for after-care to support healing and reduce risk of complications.
What to Expect After the Procedure
Common symptoms that indicate the need for wisdom tooth removal include jaw pain, swelling, tenderness, bleeding gums, bad breath, and difficulty opening the mouth fully. Some people also experience headaches, ear pain, or shifting teeth as pressure builds in the back of the jaw. Even if there are no noticeable symptoms, wisdom teeth can still cause silent damage beneath the gums, crowding the bite or harming adjacent teeth. A dental examination and X-ray can reveal whether wisdom teeth are impacted, misaligned, or growing in a way that threatens long-term oral health. Early diagnosis allows for safer and more comfortable treatment.
Risks of Ignoring Wisdom Teeth Issues
Delaying treatment for problematic wisdom teeth can lead to a chain reaction of oral health problems. Impacted molars can create infection, bone loss, gum disease, and decay in surrounding teeth. They may also cause teeth to shift and disrupt orthodontic work, resulting in bite misalignment and aesthetic changes to the smile. In more severe cases, untreated wisdom teeth can form cysts or abscesses, which are painful conditions that require more extensive treatment later. Removing wisdom teeth at the right time prevents these complications, protecting both your smile and overall oral wellness.
Am I a Good Candidate?
Extraction may be recommended if you:
- Have pain, swelling or infection around your wisdom teeth.
- Have impacted teeth (teeth that are blocked from emerging properly).
- Are experiencing crowding, shifting or damage to adjacent teeth.
- Want to prevent future problems even if symptoms are mild.
