Wisdom Tooth Removal
Expert, calm wisdom tooth surgery — with thorough aftercare for a smooth recovery.
What is Wisdom Tooth Removal?
Wisdom teeth (third molars) often emerge between ages 17 and 25. When there isn't enough space, they can become impacted — causing pain, infection or damage to neighbouring teeth. Modern surgical techniques make removal far more comfortable than most patients expect.

Wisdom Tooth Removal FAQs
Do all wisdom teeth need to be removed?
No. If they're healthy, fully erupted and easy to clean, they can stay. Removal is recommended when they cause pain, infection or risk to other teeth.
Is the surgery painful?
The surgery itself is painless thanks to local anaesthesia. Mild swelling and soreness for 2–3 days afterwards is normal and well-controlled with medication.
How long is recovery?
Most people return to work or school in 2–3 days. Full gum healing takes 2–4 weeks.
Can both sides be done together?
Yes — many patients prefer to do both upper or both lower (or all four) in one visit to keep recovery to a single window.
