Do all wisdom teeth need to be removed?

No — plenty of wisdom teeth stay healthy and cause no trouble at all. We only suggest removal where there's a clear clinical reason, such as pain, repeated infection, decay or damage to the neighbouring tooth.

Will I need a CT scan?

Not everyone will. If your dentist feels a CT scan is needed to check the tooth's position or nearby nerves, one is provided free before treatment goes ahead.

Will the extraction hurt?

Treatment itself is carried out under local anaesthetic, so pain shouldn't be an issue at the time. Some soreness afterwards is normal and usually manageable with the advice and medication we recommend.

Yes — IV conscious sedation is offered to suitable patients aged 18 and over to help you stay relaxed through treatment, charged separately from the extraction itself.

How long does recovery take?

Most people are back to normal within a few days, though more complex extractions can take a little longer. Detailed aftercare advice is given to support the quickest possible healing.

What should I eat after my extraction?

Stick to soft foods for the first few days and steer clear of very hot food, alcohol and smoking. You'll get full aftercare instructions before leaving the practice.

Wisdom Tooth Extractions
...comfortable treatment, expert care.

Not every wisdom tooth needs to come out, but when one causes pain, infection or damage to the tooth next to it, removal is often the sensible answer. We use modern techniques to keep wisdom tooth extractions as comfortable as possible and help you recover quickly.

Overview — 001

Safe, comfortable wisdom tooth removal with careful planning.

Being the last teeth to come through, wisdom teeth frequently find there simply isn't enough space left for them to emerge properly. That can bring pain, swelling, recurring infection, harm to the tooth next door, or a spot that's just impossible to keep clean. Once we've had a proper look, we'll tell you whether it's best to keep an eye on the tooth or take it out. A number of wisdom tooth cases benefit from further imaging first. Where a CT scan would help us understand exactly where the tooth sits in relation to nearby nerves and other structures, we provide it free of charge, so treatment can be planned as safely and precisely as possible.
