Wisdom Teeth Extraction
Gentle, Expert Removal for Long-Term Oral Health
Wisdom teeth—also known as third molars—often erupt during the late teens or early twenties. In most patients, such teeth may result in pain, swelling or complications because of absence of space or poor location. At Woodgrove Dental, we provide safe, professional wisdom teeth extractions to protect your smile and relieve discomfort.
Why Remove Wisdom Teeth?
The removal of wisdom teeth may not be necessary to all people, but the practise is usually advised when they lead to or are likely to lead to:
Impaction (trapped beneath the gum or bone)
Infection or inflammation
Crowding or shifting of nearby teeth
Cysts or damage to adjacent structures
Tooth decay in hard-to-clean areas
Our Extraction Process
The first step is the complete evaluation by the means of X-rays to determine the location and the status of your wisdom teeth. Based on your needs, we’ll recommend:
Simple extraction (for fully erupted, accessible teeth)
Surgical extraction (for impacted or partially erupted teeth)
We care more about your comfort we employ local anaesthetic and in case of necessity even sedation facilities to give you a stress-free experience.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do all wisdom teeth need to be removed?
Not always. Provided they grow in correct position, grow full and easily clean, then they may not need extraction at all. Our team will assess and guide you.
What are the signs I need my wisdom teeth removed?
Common symptoms include pain at the back of the mouth, swelling, infection, difficulty opening your mouth, and shifting of other teeth.
Is wisdom tooth extraction painful?
You won’t feel pain during the procedure thanks to anaesthesia. Some post-operative soreness is normal but manageable with pain relief and aftercare.
How long is the recovery period?
Most patients feel better within 3–5 days, though complete healing can take up to two weeks, especially for surgical extractions.
Will I need time off work or school?
It’s a good idea to rest for 1–2 days post-extraction. Many patients plan their procedure around a weekend or take a day or two off.
