Wisdom Tooth Removal for Better Oral Health

Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to emerge, usually between the ages of 17 and 25. While some wisdom teeth grow normally without causing problems, many become impacted, overcrowded, or difficult to clean, leading to pain, infection, and damage to neighbouring teeth.

At Freemans Bay Dental, we provide safe and gentle wisdom tooth extractions to relieve discomfort, protect your oral health, and help prevent future dental complications. Our experienced team will assess your individual needs and ensure your treatment is as comfortable as possible.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Your treatment begins with a comprehensive examination and digital X-rays to assess the position of your wisdom teeth.

During the procedure:

  • The area is numbed with a local anaesthetic for your comfort.
  • The wisdom tooth is carefully removed using gentle techniques.
  • If the tooth is impacted, a small incision may be required.
  • The area is cleaned, and stitches may be placed if necessary.
  • You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to support a smooth recovery.

Our team will explain every step of the procedure and answer any questions you may have before treatment begins.

Gentle Wisdom Tooth Removal You Can Trust

When wisdom teeth erupt through upper and lower jaw, people experience pain and discomfort. Often the only alternative is for the tooth to be extracted as the wisdom teeth may not erupt completely making it difficult to clean them.

If your wisdom teeth are causing pain, swelling, or recurring infections, early treatment can help prevent more serious problems. At Freemans Bay Dental, we provide gentle, personalised wisdom tooth extractions with your comfort and long-term oral health in mind. Book a consultation today to find out whether wisdom tooth removal is the right solution for you.

Everything You Need to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do wisdom teeth need to be removed?
Wisdom teeth may need to be removed if they are impacted, causing pain, damaging neighbouring teeth, leading to infection, or increasing the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Your dentist will recommend extraction only if it is beneficial for your oral health.
What are the signs that my wisdom teeth need to be removed?
Common signs include pain at the back of the mouth, swollen or bleeding gums, jaw stiffness, difficulty opening your mouth, recurring infections, bad breath, or pressure on nearby teeth.
Is wisdom tooth extraction painful?
No. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, so you should not feel pain during the extraction. Some swelling and mild discomfort are normal afterwards, but these can usually be managed with pain relief and proper aftercare.
How long does a wisdom tooth extraction take?
The procedure typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the number of teeth being removed and whether they are fully erupted or impacted.
How long does it take to recover from wisdom tooth removal?
Most people return to their normal routine within 2 to 5 days after a simple extraction. Complete healing of the gums may take several weeks, while recovery from impacted wisdom teeth may take a little longer.
Do all wisdom teeth need to be removed?
No. If your wisdom teeth are healthy, fully erupted, properly aligned, and easy to clean, they may not need to be removed. Your dentist will assess your wisdom teeth with a clinical examination and X-rays before recommending treatment.
