Hi, Dr Yong here from DENTL in East Melbourne.
If your wisdom teeth are causing pain, crowding, or frequent infections, you might have considered having them removed. The good news is, modern techniques make wisdom teeth extractions smoother and more comfortable than ever.
First, we start with a thorough consultation and 3D X-ray imaging to assess your wisdom teeth’s position, root structure, and whether they’re impacted. This helps us determine the best approach for removal.
Now, if your wisdom teeth have fully erupted, removal is often quick and straightforward. We numb the area with local anaesthetic, gently loosen the tooth, and remove it in one piece.
But for impacted or partially erupted teeth, we may need to make a small incision in the gum and carefully section the tooth into smaller parts for a smoother removal. If your case is complex, we may recommend IV sedation, so you can relax or even sleep through the procedure.
The good news is most patients feel back to normal in about a week, and with proper care, the risk of complications is minimal.
So, if your wisdom teeth are giving you trouble, it’s best to act early before they cause further damage. Simply call us at (03) 8820 1699 or DM us to book an assessment. We’ll guide you through the process so you feel informed and confident about it.
