Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom Teeth Removal at Yeronga Smile Dental
What are wisdom teeth and why do they cause problems? Wisdom teeth are the last molars to erupt, usually appearing between the ages of 17 and 25. For many people, there simply isn’t enough space in the jaw to accommodate them — which can cause them to grow at odd angles or become impacted (trapped beneath the gum or bone).
Impacted or poorly aligned wisdom teeth can lead to pain, swelling, infection, and even damage to nearby teeth. That’s why it’s important to have them assessed early by an experienced dentist. If you’re looking for a reliable dentist Yeronga locals trust for wisdom teeth removal, our team is here to help.
How do I know if I need my wisdom teeth removed?
You might need your wisdom teeth removed if you experience:
Even if your wisdom teeth aren’t causing symptoms now, they may still be affecting your oral health. That’s why a consultation and X-ray is recommended to determine the best course of action.
What does the wisdom teeth removal process involve?
At Yeronga Smile Dental, we offer both simple and surgical wisdom teeth extractions depending on the position of the teeth. Here’s what to expect:
We’ll talk you through the whole process beforehand and make sure you feel informed, relaxed, and ready.
Is wisdom teeth removal painful?
We use effective numbing techniques and a calm, supportive approach to make the procedure as pain-free as possible. You might feel some pressure during the extraction, but not pain. Afterwards, mild discomfort and swelling are common, but these typically subside within a few days. We’ll give you aftercare instructions and pain relief recommendations to help you recover comfortably.
What is recovery like after wisdom teeth removal?
Recovery times vary, but most people feel back to normal within 3–7 days. We recommend:
- Resting on the day of the procedure
- Eating soft foods and avoiding hot drinks for 24–48 hours
- Gently rinsing with salt water after 24 hours
- Avoiding smoking and strenuous activity while healing
Our team is always just a phone call away if you have any concerns during recovery.
Can I have all four wisdom teeth removed at once?
Yes, if recommended, all four can be removed in a single appointment. This may help you avoid multiple healing periods and get everything done at once. We’ll discuss what’s best for your situation based on your X-rays and overall health.
Does health insurance cover wisdom teeth removal?
Many private health funds include wisdom teeth removal under general or major dental cover. We’ll provide you with a detailed treatment plan and help you understand your rebate options. Payment plans are also available if you’d prefer to spread the cost.
