Wisdom Teeth Removal

          Wisdom teeth are the last of the adult teeth that emerge from the gums in your late teens or early twenties. These large grinding teeth, also known as the third molars, sometimes never develop in certain people, while in others, up to 4 teeth are seen, one at each end of the upper and lower gums

Wisdom teeth usually cause no problems, but if there isn't enough space for them to grow they can cause pain, swelling, infection or damage to other teeth. Surgical removal (extraction) of one or more wisdom teeth can help to resolve these problems.

The wisdom teeth removal procedure is routinely carried out as a day-case procedure with no overnight stay. Some patients can choose to have their wisdom teeth removed under general anaesthesia. This means they are asleep during the procedure. Many people opt to have their wisdom teeth removed under local anaesthesia, which means that they stay awake, but the area around the wisdom tooth is completely numb. Sedative drugs can be given with local anaesthesia to help you feel relaxed during the procedure.

Our services are provided in an environment of optimum safety that utilizes modern monitoring equipment and staff who are experienced in anesthesia techniques.
