Wisdom Tooth Removal

Surgical extraction of impacted or problematic wisdom teeth (third molars) to prevent pain and infection.

Wisdom Tooth Removal is recommended for patients with specific symptoms, abnormal test results, or as part of a planned treatment pathway. Your Oral Surgery / Maxillofacial Surgery specialist will evaluate your suitability.

Wisdom Tooth Removal is typically performed with Local or General. The anaesthesia team will review your health history and allergies before the procedure.

The typical duration is noted in the quick stats above. This may vary depending on complexity and individual patient factors.

Risks include minor discomfort, bruising, rare infection, and in some cases incomplete results requiring repeat testing. Serious complications are uncommon but are discussed at consent.

Wisdom Tooth Removal has a documented success rate of 99% at accredited centres. Individual outcomes depend on the underlying condition, patient health, and care team expertise.
