At Malvern Hills Dental Care, we offer a private alternative for patients needing the removal of wisdom teeth or complex extractions, especially for those suffering from intolerable pain due to high demand, delays and long waiting lists in the public healthcare system. Our practice is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including a CBCT scanner, which provides a 3D image of the tooth and surrounding anatomy for precise treatment planning.
Wisdom tooth removal, also known as third molar extraction, is a surgical procedure to remove one or more wisdom teeth. These are the last teeth to erupt in the mouth, typically between the ages of 18 and 25. While some individuals may never develop issues with their wisdom teeth, others can experience significant discomfort and complications, necessitating removal.
Wisdom teeth can often become problematic due to the limited space available in the modern human jaw, which has evolved to be smaller due to changes in diet. When there is not enough room for the wisdom teeth to emerge properly, they can become trapped or impacted. This impaction can lead to several issues, including pain, infection, decay and gum disease affecting either the wisdom tooth or nearby teeth and tissues. By removing the problematic wisdom teeth, we can alleviate pain, prevent infections and resolve or prevent further dental complications.
When you arrive for your appointment at Malvern Hills Dental Care, our friendly reception team will greet you. During your consultation, which will include an examination of your tooth and necessary X-rays. If the consultation indicates that immediate extraction is required and feasible, we aim to perform the procedure the same day to provide you with prompt pain relief.
The extraction procedure is performed under local anaesthesia within our practice. The anaesthesia ensures you do not feel pain during the procedure, although you may still feel pressure and movement. Using advanced imaging from our CBCT scanner, we can plan the extraction with high accuracy, minimising risks and ensuring the best possible outcome.
Wisdom tooth removal offers numerous benefits, primarily by relieving pain and preventing more serious dental issues. By addressing impacted or problematic wisdom teeth, we can prevent infections, reduce the risk of tooth decay and gum disease and protect the health of adjacent teeth. Additionally, removing wisdom teeth that cannot properly emerge can prevent crowding and misalignment of other teeth, thereby maintaining the overall structure and health of your smile.
