Wisdom Teeth Removal
From $5.49/week* OR for surgical extraction $6.46/week
When it comes to wisdom teeth, sometimes they’re just not that wise. These late bloomers can cause a host of issues if they don’t have enough room to grow properly. At DENTL in East Melbourne, we’re here to ensure your wisdom teeth don’t cramp your style—or your smile.
Our experienced team makes the process of wisdom teeth removal as smooth and comfortable as possible, so you can get back to smiling without a hitch.
What Is Wisdom Teeth Removal?
Wisdom teeth removal is a common dental procedure aimed at preventing potential problems caused by these pesky latecomers. Your wisdom teeth are the last set of molars to develop, typically emerging in your late teens or early twenties.
However, they often don’t have enough space to grow in properly, leading to issues like impaction, overcrowding, or infection.
- Impacted Wisdom Teeth: When wisdom teeth don’t have enough room to erupt, they can become trapped (or impacted) beneath the gum line. This can lead to pain, swelling, and even infection.
- Overcrowding: If your jaw doesn’t have space for these extra molars, they can push your other teeth out of alignment, causing discomfort and affecting the appearance of your smile.
- Infection and Decay: Wisdom teeth are located at the back of your mouth, making them difficult to clean properly. This can lead to cavities, gum disease, or even cysts forming around the impacted teeth.
Wisdom teeth removal is the proactive way to avoid these complications and maintain a healthy, pain-free smile.
Benefits of Wisdom Teeth Removal
Here’s why removing those wisdom teeth might be the smartest move for your dental health:
- Preventing Future Problems: Removing your wisdom teeth before they cause trouble can save you from pain, infections, and misalignment down the road.
- Relieving Pain: If your wisdom teeth are already causing discomfort, extraction can provide immediate relief and prevent further complications.
- Protecting Other Teeth: Wisdom teeth removal helps preserve the alignment of your other teeth, keeping your smile straight and beautiful.
- Reducing the Risk of Infections: By removing wisdom teeth that are hard to clean, you reduce the risk of cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues.
- Improving Oral Health: Without wisdom teeth to worry about, you can focus on maintaining a clean and healthy mouth with less hassle.
Getting those wisdom teeth out of the way now can prevent a lot of headaches—literally and figuratively—in the future.
The Step-by-Step Process
Here’s what you can expect during wisdom teeth removal at DENTL:
1.
Initial Consultation: We’ll begin with a comprehensive examination, including X-rays, to assess the position of your wisdom teeth and determine the best course of action. This is your opportunity to ask questions and get comfortable with the process.
2.
Preparation: On the day of the procedure, we’ll ensure you’re completely comfortable. Depending on your needs, we’ll discuss anaesthesia options, including local anaesthesia, sedation, or even general anaesthesia for a completely relaxed experience.
3.
Extraction: Our skilled dental professionals will carefully remove your wisdom teeth using precise techniques to minimise discomfort and promote a quick recovery. We’ll make sure the procedure is as swift and painless as possible.
4.
Post-Procedure Care: After the extraction, we’ll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. This includes tips for managing any swelling, pain, or bleeding, as well as what to eat and drink while you heal.
5.
Follow-Up: We’ll schedule a follow-up appointment to check on your recovery and make sure everything is healing properly. If you have any concerns or questions, we’re just a phone call away.
At DENTL, we take the stress out of wisdom teeth removal, ensuring you’re comfortable from start to finish.

Most patients recover within a week. You’ll likely experience some swelling and discomfort during the first few days, but by following our aftercare instructions, you’ll be back to your normal routine in no time.
