Often wisdom teeth don’t have enough room to grow properly, so they can easily become stuck (impacted) or grow at the wrong angle at the back of the jaw. This can lead to pain, infection, or damage to nearby teeth. If you’re feeling pain, swelling, or think your wisdom teeth might be causing problems, our experienced team can help.

Wisdom Teeth

Common Problems Wisdom Teeth Can Cause 

Impaction

Crowding and 
Misalignment

Cysts or Damage

Wisdom teeth stuck under the gum or growing at an angle can lead to pain, infection, or harm to nearby teeth.

Crowding and Misalignment Pressure from emerging wisdom teeth can push other teeth out of alignment, undoing past orthodontic work. 

Occasionally, wisdom teeth can form cysts or cause decay and damage to neighbouring teeth.

Infection and Gum Issues

Partially erupted wisdom teeth can trap food and bacteria, causing repeated infections and swelling.

Comfortable, Safe, and Stress Free 

We offer careful assessments and advanced imaging to check your wisdom teeth early. If removal is needed, we provide gentle, precise surgery — and sedation options to help you feel calm and comfortable throughout.

The 
Process 

We start with a full consultation, digital X-rays, and scans to see exactly how your wisdom teeth are positioned and to plan the safest approach.

Comprehensive Check

We’ll explain whether removal is needed now or later, what the procedure involves, and the sedation options available. You’ll know exactly what to expect and what it will cost — no surprises.

Tailored Treatment Plan

For your peace of mind, we offer local anaesthesia and sedation for wisdom teeth surgery. Whether it’s a straightforward extraction or a more complex case, you can rest easy knowing you’ll feel relaxed and pain-free.

Comfortable Surgery with Sedation

After your procedure, we’ll give you clear instructions for caring for your mouth, managing discomfort, and keeping the area clean as it heals. We’ll also arrange follow-up visits to make sure everything is healing as it should.
