Wisdom Teeth Removal in Geelong
Wisdom teeth can cause discomfort, swelling, or infection when there is not enough space for them to come through properly. At Geelong Dental Centre, we provide careful and considered wisdom teeth removal in Geelong. As a trusted Geelong dentist, our goal is to assess whether removal is necessary and guide you through your options so you can make an informed decision.
When do wisdom teeth need to be removed?
Not all wisdom teeth need to be removed. However, removal may be recommended if your wisdom teeth are causing pain, crowding, repeated infections, or are difficult to clean.
During your consultation, your Geelong dentist will examine your teeth and may take X-rays to understand the position of your wisdom teeth and whether removal is the best option for your long-term oral health.
What happens during the procedure?
Wisdom teeth extraction is a relatively routine procedure. Some dentists or surgeons would advise wisdom tooth extraction especially if they are impacted and have no room to grow. The procedure is generally performed by an Oral Surgeon under sedation. If there is an infection present this will need to be cleared up before extraction of the wisdom teeth.
After the tooth (or teeth) are removed, the patient is given a gauze to bite down softly for a recommended amount of time to limit any bleeding. Some pain and swelling may occur, but it should subside within a few days.
We understand that wisdom teeth removal can feel concerning for many patients. Our team takes the time to explain the procedure, what to expect, and how to prepare beforehand. The removal process is planned carefully to minimise discomfort and support a smooth recovery. After your appointment, we provide clear aftercare instructions to help with healing and manage any swelling or discomfort.
