What is Wisdom Teeth Removal?
Wisdom teeth are the last molars to emerge, usually in your late teens or twenties. When there isn't enough room, they can become impacted (stuck), partially erupt, or grow at awkward angles — causing pain, infection, and damage to adjacent teeth.
We take a gentle, considered approach to wisdom tooth removal, only recommending extraction when clinically necessary.
End the Pain
Remove the source of recurring pain and infection once and for all.
Prevent Damage
Stop impacted wisdom teeth from damaging healthy adjacent teeth.
Gentle, Reassuring Care
We support anxious patients with clear communication and a calm clinical approach.
Your Treatment Journey
Assessment & X-Rays
We examine your wisdom teeth and take detailed X-rays to assess their position and plan your treatment.
Panoramic Diagnostic Imaging: Our detailed X-rays give us a complete view of your wisdom teeth positioning (highlighted), enabling us to assess impaction, proximity to nerves, and plan the safest, most precise surgical approach for your case.
Treatment Planning
We discuss the procedure, explain each stage, and answer any questions you have.
Anaesthesia
Local anaesthesia ensures you feel no pain during treatment.
Comfort-Led Care: Your relaxation is our priority. Using advanced, gentle numbing techniques, we ensure the area is completely anaesthetised, providing a calm and entirely pain-free experience.
Extraction
The wisdom tooth is carefully removed. For impacted teeth, a small incision may be needed.
Recovery & Aftercare
We'll provide detailed aftercare instructions and medication to support recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. If your wisdom teeth have fully erupted, are healthy, positioned correctly, and not causing problems, they can remain. We only recommend removal when there is a clinical reason to do so.
During the procedure, you will feel pressure and movement but no pain thanks to local anaesthesia. Post-operative discomfort varies but is usually manageable with over-the-counter or prescribed painkillers.
Most patients return to normal activities within 3-5 days, though swelling and tenderness may persist for up to a week. Full healing of the extraction site takes 1-2 weeks. We provide detailed aftercare instructions.
Impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth can cause recurring infections (pericoronitis), damage to adjacent teeth, cyst formation, and chronic pain. Early assessment prevents these complications from worsening over time.
Yes, removing all four at once is common and often preferred to reduce the total number of procedures and recovery periods. We will discuss whether this approach is suitable based on your specific situation.
Dry socket occurs when the blood clot protecting the extraction site is dislodged, exposing bone and nerves. Avoid smoking, using straws, spitting forcefully, and vigorous rinsing for at least 48 hours to minimise this risk.
