Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth can often cause pain, crowding, or infections—especially if they are impacted or growing incorrectly. A wisdom tooth extraction is a common and safe procedure that helps prevent future dental problems like swelling, decay, and misalignment.

Our experienced dental team are highly skilled in both simple and complex extractions, ensuring a safe and smooth procedure. Whether your wisdom teeth are partially erupted, fully impacted, or causing discomfort, we use advanced techniques, to provide gentle, effective treatment. We understand that you may be anxious before your extraction appointment, which is why we also offer oral sedation to help make the whole experience as comfortable as possible for you.

Why might my dentist recommend wisdom tooth extraction?

  • To avoid further and more complicated impactions

  • To reduce the chance of pain, swelling and infection from a partially erupted wisdom tooth

  • To remove food traps created by a partially erupted wisdom tooth

  • To prevent harm to adjacent teeth

  • To avoid the formation of cysts

  • To reduce potential crowding and optimise orthodontic treatment.

  • To achieve better gum health

Our dentists here at Carlton Dental offer removal of wisdom teeth in a calm and compassionate environment that takes the anxiety out of tooth extraction. Whether you opt for local anaesthesia in one of our dentists’ chairs or general anaesthesia in a hospital, the choice is entirely yours.

Oral sedatives is also available to you in our surgery as an accompaniment to local anaesthesia if you prefer.

While the local anaesthetic alone will prevent pain, the sedation lessens your awareness of the procedure. Of course, general anaesthesia in a hospital enables you to be completely unaware of the entire experience as you sleep through the procedure.
