Wisdom Teeth Removal Adelaide
Gentle & Professional Care
At Accolade Dental, we understand that the thought of having your wisdom teeth removed can feel daunting. That’s why we offer in-chair wisdom teeth extractions using local anaesthesia, ensuring your comfort every step of the way. Whether you’re experiencing pain, swelling, or simply want to stay ahead of potential issues, our Adelaide dental team is here to help.
What Are Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last teeth to come through, usually during your late teens or early twenties. Because the modern jaw often doesn’t have enough space, these teeth can become impacted, partially erupted, or push against adjacent teeth—leading to pain, swelling, gum inflammation, or even tooth decay.
When they don’t come in properly, removing wisdom teeth is often the best option to protect your oral health. Our team offers safe, effective removal of wisdom teeth right here in our Seaford Heights clinic.
When Should Wisdom Teeth Be Removed?
Not everyone needs their wisdom teeth out, but in many cases, early removal can prevent bigger issues later. You might need wisdom teeth removal if you’re experiencing:
- Pain or pressure at the back of your mouth
- Gum swelling or redness around the wisdom teeth
- Crowding of other teeth
- Signs of infection, decay, or cyst formation
We often recommend extractions during the late teens, as the roots are not yet fully formed – making for a smoother recovery.
What to Expect During the Procedure of wisdom teeth removal?
At Accolade Dental, your comfort and safety are our top priorities. Here’s how the process works:
- We begin with a thorough consultation and x-rays to assess the position of your wisdom teeth.
- If removal is recommended, the procedure will be performed in the chair under local anaesthetic. You’ll remain awake and comfortable throughout.
- The tooth is gently removed, and we’ll give you clear aftercare instructions to support your healing.
Most patients return to normal activities in three to five days, with minor discomfort managed by over-the-counter pain relief. We’ll also advise on how to keep the area clean, what to eat, and what to avoid (like drinking through a straw!).
