Wisdom Tooth Removal

Wisdom Tooth Removal Lansvale

Living with problematic wisdom teeth can significantly impact your daily life. At Odontologie, we provide expert wisdom tooth removal services for residents in Cabramatta, Lansvale, and surrounding areas, helping you maintain optimal oral health and comfort.

Wisdom teeth typically emerge between ages 17 and 25, often causing discomfort and dental complications. To understand how many wisdom teeth people typically have, it’s important to note that the average person has a full set of four, although some may have none or only one. These third molars can become impacted, grow at awkward angles, or create pressure on neighbouring teeth, leading to pain and potential oral health issues.

Signs That You Need Your Wisdom Teeth Removed

Recognising the right time for wisdom tooth removal helps prevent future complications. Common indicators include:

Persistent jaw pain or swelling

Difficulty opening your mouth

Frequent infections around wisdom teeth

Damage to nearby teeth

Gum inflammation and tenderness

Severe pain that persists despite medication

Impacted Wisdom Teeth

Impacted wisdom teeth are a common dental issue that can cause significant discomfort and complications. When a wisdom tooth doesn’t have enough room to grow, it can become impacted, meaning it grows at an angle or remains trapped in the gum tissue. This can lead to several problems, including:

Pain and discomfort in the jaw, gums, and nearby teeth

Infection and swelling of the gum tissue

Damage to nearby teeth, including tooth decay and gum disease

Crowding of other teeth, leading to orthodontic issues

Difficulty chewing and biting food

What You Need to Know

Sometimes, removing wisdom teeth early can provide several advantages. Younger patients typically experience faster healing and reduced recovery time, while removing problematic wisdom teeth prevents damage to healthy teeth, reduces the risk of infections, and maintains proper alignment.

Preparing for wisdom teeth removal involves several steps to ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery. Here are some tips to help you get ready:

  • Follow your dentist’s or oral surgeon’s instructions about eating and drinking before the procedure. Typically, you’ll need to stop eating and drinking for a certain period beforehand.
  • Avoid certain medications, such as blood thinners, as your dentist or oral surgeon advises.
  • Arrange for someone to drive you home after the procedure, especially if you will be under sedation or general anesthesia.
  • Plan for a gentle diet post-procedure, avoiding spicy, crunchy, or hard foods that could irritate the extraction site.
  • Stock up on soft foods like soups, smoothies, and yogurt to help with your recovery.

Discuss any concerns or questions you have with your dentist or oral surgeon before the procedure to ensure you feel prepared and confident.

At Odontologie, we make wisdom tooth removal straightforward and comfortable. During your initial consultation, our dentists and oral surgeons thoroughly examine your teeth and discuss any concerns. We use advanced imaging technology to assess the position of your wisdom teeth and create a tailored treatment plan.
The procedure is generally performed under local anaesthetic, ensuring you remain comfortable throughout. Our experienced team monitors you closely during the extraction, which typically takes 45-60 minutes.
There are several types of wisdom teeth removal procedures, depending on the complexity of the case and the individual’s needs. Here are some common types:


Simple Extraction: This is the most straightforward type of wisdom teeth removal, where the tooth is removed in one piece.
Surgical Extraction: This procedure involves cutting the gum tissue and possibly removing some bone to access the impacted tooth.
Impacted Wisdom Teeth Removal: This type of removal is necessary when the tooth is impacted. It may require cutting the gum tissue and bone to extract the tooth.
Wisdom Teeth Removal with Sedation: For those who are anxious or undergoing a more complex extraction, sedation anesthesia can be used to help the patient relax during the procedure.

Recovery from wisdom tooth removal usually takes about a week. During this time, a blood clot forming in the socket will help to protect the underlying bone and nerves. 

Most patients return to their normal activities within 2-3 days, and we provide comprehensive aftercare instructions when you leave our clinic, including:

  • Pain management techniques
  •  Dietary recommendations
  • Oral hygiene guidelines 
  • Follow-up care schedule.
