Many wisdom teeth will require some form of surgery to remove. At our practices in Applecross, we offer several options. If the procedure is straightforward and the patient comfortable, we may be able to extract wisdom teeth by numbing the patient with local anaesthetic in the dental chair. For those that are anxious, we can arrange IV sedation (also called sleep dentistry or twilight sedation) to be administered by a GP anaesthetist and the procedure can be performed in the dental chair.

We also have regular bookings at Southbank Day Surgery in South Perth where we can perform wisdom tooth removal under general anaesthetic with an anaesthetist. This is often the preferred choice for the patients with private health insurance and hospital cover.

The recovery period for wisdom teeth extraction varies for every patient. Often it can take several days and for more severe cases there can be swelling and discomfort for a week or more. We will discuss the likely recovery period for you prior to your wisdom teeth extraction and provide comprehensive guidance on how to best care for your wounds post-surgery.

Each person’s wisdom teeth can be quite different and can appear in many different positions. It may be that the wisdom teeth are buried so far under the gums that they will never cause an issue. Or it may be that you do have enough room for them, and you are able to keep them clean and do not need to have them removed.

The best way to find out whether wisdom teeth removal is right for you would be to have a dental examination and full mouth x-ray at our clinic in Perth, to check their position.

In most cases wisdom teeth may eventually cause issues such as tooth and nerve decay which would then result in a root canal.

At Perth Dental Implant Centre, we take a more proactive approach and advise having wisdom teeth removed before they cause an issue, to avoid further treatments, discomfort and pain however, it's ultimately up to you.

As a rough guide, most people need their wisdom teeth removed anywhere between 15 and 25 years of age depending on the development of the teeth. But some people may find that they do not have issues with their wisdom teeth until later in life. We like to remove them before they start causing problems so that we can plan a suitable time for the patient that does not interfere with life events such as exams or work commitments.
