Our expert team promises a comfortable wisdom tooth extraction procedure backed by top-notch general dentistry services in NSW.
Comfort in Minutes with World-Class Expertise
Wisdom teeth aren’t always problematic, but when they are, you’ll know it. From pain and swelling to infection and misalignment, these third molars can be quite the troublemakers.
We recommend wisdom tooth removal if you’re experiencing:
- Persistent jaw discomfort, where you might experience ongoing pain or find it hard to move your jaw freely.
- Facial swelling with noticeable swelling around your jawline or gums.
- Dental issues like tooth decay, recurring infections, or abscesses in the area.
- Alignment problems where the wisdom tooth might be protruding against your other teeth, cheeks, or gums.
- X-ray findings show Cysts or other jaw complications visible.
Dapto Dentists aim not just to fix problems, but prevent them. Hence, we suggest early extraction after your dental check up and clean visit.
Wisdom Tooth Extraction Procedure at Dapto Dentists
At Dapto Dentists, wisdom tooth extraction is far from a daunting experience. Our compassionate team, modern technology, and commitment to gentle care make the process smoother than you expect.
Step 1: A Thorough Consultation
We begin with a thorough consultation, discuss your dental history and symptoms while addressing any concerns. We examine further using state-of-the-art devices for accurate analysis. These reports allow us to plan for either a simple or surgical extraction.
Step 2: Simple Extraction
For teeth that have fully erupted and are not impacted, we’ll use local anaesthesia to numb the area before gently removing the tooth. You’ll feel nothing more than a little pressure. You also get aftercare guidance for the smoothest recovery.
Step 3: Surgical Extraction
For wisdom teeth that are partially erupted, trapped beneath your gum, or growing at an angle, our dentist might suggest going for a minor surgical procedure. In more complex scenarios involving sensitive nerves or specific health conditions, we will refer you to a trusted dentist with specialised training to handle such cases.
Role of IV Sedation in Wisdom Teeth Removal
Anxiety surrounding wisdom teeth removal is common. However, with intravenous
(IV) sedation, patients can undergo the procedure with complete comfort.
A sedative is administered through an IV catheter, inducing a state of deep
relaxation. When combined with a local anesthetic, the procedure is entirely pain-free
and stress-free.
What to Expect After the Procedure
Most patients recover within 7 to 10 days. The healing process generally looks like:
● Swelling and mild bruising near the jaw
● Stiffness when opening the mouth
● Minor bleeding in the first 24 hrs
● Discomfort that can be managed with medication
Here, knowing what to do and what not to play a significant role during your recovery.
| Do’s | Don’ts |
|---|---|
| Apply cold packs for the first 24–48 hrs to reduce swelling. | Don’t smoke or use straws, as suction can dislodge the blood clot. |
| Eat soft, cool foods like yoghurt, soup, or mashed potatoes. | Avoid hot, spicy, crunchy or hard foods that may irritate the site |
| Take prescribed pain relief and antibiotics exactly as directed. | Take prescribed pain relief and antibiotics exactly as directed. Don’t rinse your mouth forcefully or spit excessively in the first 24 hrs. |
| Keep your head slightly elevated when resting to reduce swelling. | Avoid intense physical activity for at least 48 hrs post-surgery. |
| Rinse gently with warm salt water after 24 hrs to aid healing. | Don’t touch the extraction site with your fingers or tongue. |

FAQs on Wisdom Teeth Removal
1. Is it safe to delay wisdom tooth extraction?
Delays can lead to infections, nerve pressure, or tooth misalignment. Early treatment is always safer and simpler.
2. Can wisdom teeth removal impact my speech?
Not permanently. Some patients may feel slight tongue or cheek stiffness initially, but speech normalises quickly as swelling reduces.
3. How much does wisdom tooth removal cost at Dapto Dentists?
Costs vary based on complexity. We offer FREE consultations with X-rays (valued at $350) so you can understand your options before committing.
4. Can I remove all wisdom teeth at once?
Yes, many patients prefer to have all four removed in a single session, being aware of the frustration they cause. We’ll assess and recommend the best plan for your comfort.
5. How long does it take to fully heal?
Most people feel better within a week, though deeper healing can take a few more weeks. Follow-up visits ensure proper recovery.
6. Will I need antibiotics after my wisdom teeth removal?
In certain cases involving an infection or complex surgery, we may prescribe antibiotics to prevent post-op complications.
7. Are there alternatives to wisdom tooth extraction?
If the wisdom teeth aren’t causing issues and are fully erupted, we may monitor them regularly through our general dentistry services rather than remove them.
8. Can I brush my teeth normally after the surgery?
Yes, but gently. Avoid the extraction region for the first 24 hours, and after that, use a soft toothbrush and rinse carefully with warm salt water.
