Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth can cause problems if they come through at the wrong angle or if there isn’t enough space in your jaw. At Dentistry by Design, our experienced dentists may recommend wisdom teeth removal to correct an existing problem or as a preventive measure to avoid pain and complications in the future.

Do I need to remove my wisdom teeth?
The wisdom teeth are the last teeth to grow, normally between your late teens and mid-20s. They don’t always have to be removed, but they are the most likely teeth to cause problems, making wisdom teeth removal a common procedure.
Our dentists may recommend removing a wisdom tooth if:
- the tooth is impacted (stuck) in your gum or may cause infection
- the tooth is not erupting normally or is growing at the wrong angle
- the tooth may cause crowding or put pressure on your other teeth
- the tooth may be difficult to clean and be vulnerable to decay
- the tooth may cause injuries to your cheek or mouth
- you're having orthodontic treatment
When you visit our Balmain dentists with a wisdom tooth problem, we’ll examine your mouth using state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to pinpoint the problem and develop your personal treatment plan.
What to expect from wisdom teeth removal
Extracting a wisdom tooth may be a simple or complex procedure, depending on the condition of the tooth and your symptoms. Our dentists will make sure you know what to expect and tailor the treatment to your needs.
A wisdom tooth may be removed intact or our dentists may need to make an incision in your gum and extract the tooth in pieces, taking precautions to avoid infections. We provide local anaesthesia to numb your mouth so you won’t feel any pain, and we can also discuss other sedation options.
The recovery period following wisdom tooth removal can be anywhere from a day to a week. You should expect minor bleeding and pain that can be managed with normal painkillers. Risks of wisdom teeth removal will be reduced when you choose a suitably qualified and experienced dentist.
Is wisdom teeth removal painful?
An impacted wisdom tooth can be extremely painful, but wisdom tooth removal is performed under local anaesthesia, so you won’t feel any pain during the procedure and can look forward to long-term pain relief and peace of mind.
We can provide other types of sedation if you need additional pain relief or help to feel calm and relaxed during your treatment.
