Wisdom Teeth Removal
Relief from impacted or painful wisdom teeth. We remove problem wisdom teeth safely and comfortably, with sedation available for nervous patients.
Overview
About Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth (third molars) are the last to come through, usually in the late teens or early twenties. There's often not enough room for them, so they can become impacted — stuck under the gum or growing at an angle. This can cause pain, swelling, infection, crowding and damage to neighbouring teeth.
We use 3D imaging to assess the position of your wisdom teeth and their roots relative to nerves, allowing us to plan a safe, precise removal. Many wisdom teeth can be removed comfortably in the chair; for complex cases we'll discuss sedation or referral so you always get the right care.

Assessment & imaging
We examine the teeth and take 3D or panoramic images to map the roots and nearby nerves.

Comfort & anaesthetic
The area is fully numbed; we also offer sedation to keep anxious patients relaxed throughout.

Gentle removal
The wisdom tooth is carefully removed, with stitches placed if needed to help healing.
- Step 04
Recovery guidance
We provide clear aftercare instructions and pain-relief advice for a smooth recovery.
Is it right for you?
Removal is recommended when wisdom teeth are impacted, causing pain or infection, crowding other teeth, or are difficult to keep clean. Not every wisdom tooth needs to come out — we'll only recommend it when it's in your best interest.
Recovery & aftercare
Rest for 24 hours, apply ice to reduce swelling, eat soft foods and avoid smoking, straws and vigorous rinsing for a few days to prevent dry socket. We'll guide you through every step.
