WHAT TO EXPECT
WHAT ARE WISDOM TEETH?
If your teeth are well-aligned and healthy, you can generally keep your wisdom teeth. However, if they are impacted or misaligned, they can damage existing teeth. Sitting far back in the mouth, wisdom teeth are difficult to clean. This can lead to build-up of tartar and plaque, and even decay.
The Service
We can conduct straightforward wisdom teeth removal in the comfort of our clinic. For more complicated wisdom teeth removal, or if general anaesthetic is required, we refer clients to a trusted specialist.
PRICING
The cost of wisdom teeth extraction will vary from person to person. We quote for wisdom teeth removal after making a thorough examination of your mouth and consulting with an OPG X-ray, to ensure accuracy and transparency in our pricing. If you have existing X-rays which are less than one year old, you’re welcome to bring them along to your consultation.

FAQS
How do you know if your wisdom teeth are infected?
Symptoms may include:
- Reddened, inflamed gum alongside the wisdom tooth
- Swelling
- Soreness
- Pain
- Pus from the gum line
- Difficulties with opening your mouth and swallowing
- Fever
What is an impacted wisdom tooth?
Impacted wisdom teeth are those which have not yet erupted in the mouth. This can be caused by a physical barrier, like another tooth, or when the wisdom tooth is angled away from a vertical position.
Impacted wisdom teeth may need to be removed. If your teeth are painful, we recommend a thorough examination with one of our qualified dentists, who will thoroughly examine your mouth and develop a personalised treatment plan.
