Expert care for your wisdom teeth - from evaluation to comfortable extraction
Whether your wisdom teeth are causing pain or simply need monitoring, we'll assess your smile and recommend the most appropriate treatment for your long-term oral health.
Not every wisdom tooth needs to be removed. Many people have wisdom teeth that grow normally and remain healthy for life. Others may develop problems because there isn't enough room for the teeth to erupt properly.
During your examination, we'll assess the position of your wisdom teeth using a clinical examination and X-rays before recommending whether monitoring or removal is the best option.
You should arrange an assessment if you notice:
Wisdom teeth are the final set of molars, usually appearing between the ages of 17 and 25. Because they erupt later than other teeth, there often isn't enough space for them to grow into the correct position.
When this happens, wisdom teeth may become impacted, partially erupted or difficult to clean, increasing the risk of future dental problems.
An impacted wisdom tooth is one that cannot fully erupt because it is blocked by neighbouring teeth, gum tissue or bone.
Impacted teeth are more likely to cause pain, infection, decay, gum disease and damage to nearby teeth if left untreated.
