What is the need for wisdom teeth removal?

Infection– when an impacted wisdom tooth starts pushing through the gums, an infection known as pericoronitis may occur. This will lead to infection or inflammation and you may feel pain, swelling and jaw stiffness.

Crowding– a wisdom tooth may push nearby teeth and cause the front teeth to become crowded.

Damage to nearby molars or impaction – an impacted wisdom tooth may push against the molars in front of it, which can have serious consequences like decay or even nerve death.

Cysts – an impacted wisdom to may lead to the formation of a large sack of fluid known as a cyst.

Areas We Cover in Perth

The backmost teeth of the human mouth are wisdom teeth that cause pain and discomfort. Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to grow and usually make us feel their presence in our late teens. Unfortunately, most of us don’t have enough space in our mouth for wisdom teeth to pass through the gums or erupt completely, and they get clogged or impacted. Both impacted and non-impacted wisdom teeth can cause many problems, and the removal of one or more teeth is the best solution.

Wisdom teeth pain is the most common problem people have, and the only solution for getting rid of wisdom teeth is getting them removed from our wisdom teeth Perth experts. So if you are located in Perth, Joondalup, Connolly, Heathridge, Currambine, Ocean Reef, Wanneroo, or surrounding areas. Consult our expert dentists for wisdom teeth removal and get rid of them for a lifetime.

Can I go to sleep for my wisdom teeth extraction?

Wisdom teeth extraction can be relatively simple. A lot of wisdom teeth can be removed while you are awake. Other forms of sedation are available to relieve anxiety about the procedure. At Dental at Joondalup we offer oral sedation dentistry, intravenous (IV) sleep dentistry, and general anaesthetic services.

Oral sedation dentistry involves taking a few tablets one hour prior to your dental treatment. This allows you to be much more relaxed when you are completing the wisdom tooth extraction. Intravenous sleep dentistry is performed by our sedationist at the comfort of our own clinic – this allows you to fall asleep and not remember the procedure. General anaesthetic services are available in a hospital setting away from the clinic.

How will I feel after the wisdom tooth extraction?

After the operation you may have pain and swelling which could last up to a few days. You’ll be prescribed painkillers and antibiotics generally; however, the swelling will make it difficult for you to open your mouth wide and you will need to eat soft foods until you feel comfortable to do otherwise. There will be stitches that generally dissolve on their own and playing with them with your tongue will be probably the greatest annoyance.

What is the cost of wisdom teeth removal in Perth?

The cost of wisdom teeth removal in Perth depends on the difficulty of having them removed and starts from $200 per tooth. Here at Dental at Joondalup, patients could have teeth extracted under oral sedation, IV sleep dentistry or general anaesthetic. The cost of sedation can be discussed at your consultation depending on your needs.
