Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Wisdom teeth
Let's sort out those wisdom teeth
Wisdom teeth can cause pain, swelling or crowding and sometimes they just don’t have space to grow. If it’s time to take them out, we’ll walk you through every step. Whether you need one removed or all four, we’ll keep you comfortable and make sure the healing process is clear and manageable.
Why take wisdom teeth out?
Wisdom teeth are the final molars to appear (usually in your late teens or twenties). For some, they come through without trouble. But for many others, there’s not enough space, which can lead to pressure, swelling, infections or damage to nearby teeth. In those cases, we usually recommend a wisdom tooth extraction.

What are the benefits of Wisdom Tooth Removal?
Prevents crowding
Wisdom teeth often push against existing teeth, causing shifting and misalignment. Removing them helps maintain a straight, even smile.
Reduces risk of infection
Impacted wisdom teeth can trap food and bacteria, leading to gum infection, swelling, and pain. Extraction removes this risk.
Protects neighbouring teeth
When wisdom teeth press on nearby molars, they can cause damage, cavities, or bone loss. Removal protects the surrounding teeth.
Prevents cysts and jaw damage
Impacted wisdom teeth can sometimes form cysts, which damage bone and nerves. Extraction eliminates this complication.
Relieves pain and discomfort
Wisdom teeth can cause ongoing jaw pain, headaches, or swollen gums. Extraction provides lasting relief and prevents future flare-ups.
