Wisdom Teeth Removal at St Ives Smiles Dentistry

Wisdom teeth bothering you? At St Ives Smiles, we evaluate and diagnose potential issues with wisdom teeth early, usually between the ages of 18-21. Some people have enough space to keep their wisdom teeth, while others may need them removed due to misalignment or decay. We use full mouth X-rays, and 3D imaging for more complex cases, to assess the position and health of your wisdom teeth, helping decide the best course of action, whether it’s removal in our clinic under local anaesthesia or a referral to an Oral Surgeon. For patients who feel anxious about the procedure, sedation options for anxious patients are also available.

FAQs About Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars that typically emerge in late adolescence or early adulthood.
They may need to be removed if there’s not enough space for them, they’re misaligned, or if they’re difficult to clean and become decayed.
We use a full mouth X-ray to examine the positioning and health of your wisdom teeth.
Removal options include in-chair extraction under local anaesthesia or, for more complex cases, referral to an Oral Surgeon.
We take every precaution to minimise discomfort, using effective pain relief methods during and after the procedure. For more detailed information or to schedule an evaluation, book a consultation today. We’re here to guide you through the process and ensure your comfort and health every step of the way.
