What Are Wisdom Teeth?

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last molars at the back of your mouth. These teeth start to emerge between the ages of 17 and 25.

Due to limited space in the mouth, wisdom teeth often fail to emerge correctly. They may grow at odd angles, partially erupt, or become impacted so they cannot break through the gum line. These issues can lead to various complications, such as

  • Crowding
  • Impacted Wisdom Teeth
  • Tooth Decay and Gum Disease
  • Pericoronitis

We perform wisdom tooth extraction with precision and care. Our experienced dental team uses 3D imaging to ensure a comfortable and efficient procedure. Trust us for a smooth and pain-free experience in managing your wisdom teeth.

Why Is Wisdom Tooth Extraction Important?

Wisdom teeth development usually happens between the ages of 18 to 25, and sometimes, you can only spot its growth on x-rays. Wisdom teeth cause four types of issues in your mouth.

The wisdom tooth develops at the wrong angle, presses other teeth, and possibly damages them. Your wisdom teeth do not develop in the normal way and can get trapped in your gums or jawbones. It is painful and needs the removal of the teeth for the relief. Your jaw does not has enough room for an additional set of molars. You experience gum disease or cavities around the wisdom teeth.

Wisdom Teeth and Treatment Options

At our Port Melbourne Dental clinic, we examine your wisdom tooth using X-rays. This helps us to confirm the difficulty level of the teeth removal. While many wisdom teeth can be removed by applying local anaesthesia, some wisdom teeth need surgical extraction. 

After extracting your wisdom tooth, your dentists may put sutures on your gum for quick healing. As a leading clinic for wisdom tooth removal in Melbourne, we recommend our patients to give a follow-up visit after a week of the extraction.

What to Expect After the Wisdom Teeth Removal?

You may experience facial swelling, discomfort, and pain for a few days after the removal. You can speak with our dentist and use normal painkillers to relieve the pain. 

We recommend that our patients do not eat or drink during the first six hours after the wisdom teeth removal treatment.

What’s the Procedure for Wisdom Tooth Extraction in Melbourne, VIC?

Dental Examination and X-rays

Before proceeding with the extraction, the team at Bay Street Dental Group will conduct a thorough dental examination and take X-rays. These images help us to assess the wisdom teeth’ position and condition.

Anaesthesia Administration

During the extraction procedure, we prioritise your comfort and ensure a pain-free experience. Local anaesthesia is given to numb the area surrounding the affected tooth. We also offer sedation options for more complex cases or anxious patients to help you feel relaxed throughout the procedure.

Incision and Access

A small incision may be necessary to access the tooth beneath the gumline for impacted wisdom teeth. Our skilled oral surgeons will create a gentle and precise incision to ensure minimal discomfort and expedite healing.

Tooth Removal

Once the wisdom tooth is accessed, we carefully extract it from its socket. Our dental team utilises specialised tools and techniques to ensure a smooth extraction. Sometimes, the tooth must be divided into smaller pieces for easier removal.

Wound Closure

After the wisdom tooth is successfully removed, we use dissolvable stitches to close the incision site. These stitches promote proper healing and reduce the risk of infection. Our wisdom teeth removal professionals will provide detailed aftercare instructions to follow during the recovery period.
