Wisdom Tooth Treatment
Not all wisdom teeth need to be removed, but if they cause problems such as impaction, crowding, or infection, extraction may be the best solution. We take a personalised approach to your care, offering a thorough assessment to determine the best course of action for your individual situation.
Our Wisdom Tooth Treatment Services Include:
Comprehensive Consultation & Assessment
During your initial visit, we assess the positioning of your wisdom teeth using digital X-rays to check for any signs of impaction, infection, or other potential issues. We’ll discuss your symptoms and concerns, and outline treatment options based on your specific needs.
Wisdom Tooth Extraction
If your wisdom teeth are causing pain, infection, or other complications, our wisdom teeth dentists offer safe and effective extraction procedures. Extractions are carried out under local anaesthesia. Most extractions are straightforward, but if your wisdom teeth are impacted or in a difficult position, we may recommend an oral surgeon for more complex cases.
Preventive Advice
If you’re experiencing pain or discomfort with your wisdom teeth, we’ll provide advice on how to manage the symptoms and prevent future issues. We may also discuss oral hygiene practices to help reduce the risk of infection or further complications.
Monitoring & Observation
In some cases, wisdom teeth can emerge without causing any issues. We’ll monitor their development through regular check-ups and X-rays to ensure they’re not causing any long-term problems. If your wisdom teeth remain healthy and aligned, we may recommend simply keeping an eye on them.
Post-Extraction Care & Recovery
After wisdom tooth extraction, we provide clear aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery. We’ll guide you on managing swelling, discomfort, and any potential complications, and we’re always available to answer questions during your healing process.

FAQs
How do I know if my wisdom teeth need to be removed?
Pain, swelling, infection, or crowding are common signs that your wisdom teeth need to be removed. Some impacted wisdom teeth cause no symptoms but can still affect surrounding teeth over time. An X-ray is the most reliable way to assess whether removal is needed.
Is wisdom tooth removal painful?
The procedure is carried out under local anaesthesia, so you shouldn’t feel pain during the extraction. Some soreness and swelling in the days afterwards is normal and manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.
How long is the recovery after wisdom tooth removal?
Most people feel comfortable within a few days, though full healing takes longer. We’ll give you specific aftercare instructions based on your extraction.
How much does wisdom tooth removal cost in Melbourne?

What happens if I leave an impacted wisdom tooth?
Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to infection, decay in the adjacent tooth, and ongoing pain. Not all impacted teeth need immediate removal, but they do need monitoring. Our team will advise you based on your situation.
