Our dental clinic offers wisdom tooth removal under general anaesthesia without going to the hospital, giving you a comfortable experience.

Wisdom Tooth Removal

Also known as your third molars, wisdom teeth typically erupt sometime during your teenage years or early 20s. If your wisdom teeth begin to cause a problem, we can remove one or all four of them to preserve your oral health and avoid future issues.

Wisdom tooth removal is a common procedure, and we offer general anaesthesia to keep you comfortable and streamline your treatment.

When Is Wisdom Tooth Removal Necessary?

There are several instances where we may recommend wisdom tooth removal.

Here are some of the most common reasons for extraction:

Your teeth are “impacted” or trapped inside your gums or jaw
Your wisdom teeth come in crooked or sideways
You experience pain around one or more wisdom teeth
You start to trap food in the back of your mouth
You develop gum disease around your back molars
Your wisdom teeth are decayed
You need room in your mouth for orthodontics

Exploring the Benefits of General Anaesthesia/IV Sedation

Our dental clinic offers general anaesthesia/IV sedation for wisdom tooth removal and other dental treatments. When you choose Lumino Smiles for your oral health needs, you can expect numerous benefits, including the following:

Because we offer IV sedation in our dental clinic, you can save on hospital expenses, making it a more cost-effective option for your budget.

Efficient Care

After your procedure, you’ll wake up feeling good. Not only that, but in most cases, you can expect to go home straight after.

Frequently Asked Questions

About Sleep Dentistry in Pascoe Vale, VIC

Sleep dentistry is ideal for patients with dental phobias or anxiety. It should also be considered for lengthy and invasive dental treatments or those with a strong gag reflex.

For sleep dentistry, we administer anaesthesia through an IV, so you’ll not recall your treatment or feel anxious while in the dental chair. We then closely monitor your progress as we treat your smile.

It’s crucial to arrange transportation after your treatment, as you should not drive. We also recommend resting for the day and not making any important life decisions.

Platelet-Rich Fibrin Treatment: Helping You Heal Faster

Whenever we extract a tooth, we use PRF, or Platelet-Rich Fibrin treatment, to support faster healing. This revolutionary treatment option often reduces your recovery time from weeks to days and offers other benefits, including minimised swelling, less bruising and decreased discomfort.

For this treatment, we draw a small amount of your blood before your extraction and place it in a special medical device that creates a fibrin membrane. After your extraction, we place this membrane plug into your empty tooth socket.

The fibrin membrane encourages faster healing and can lower your risk of a dry socket, as well as promote bone preservation and tissue repair.

Recovering from Your Wisdom Tooth Removal: Tips for Success

Before you leave our dental clinic, we’ll answer your questions and provide some helpful advice on how to recover as quickly and comfortably as possible:

Place ice packs on your face to reduce swelling and discomfort
Go home and rest for the remainder of the day.
Eat soft foods such as eggs, smoothies and potatoes.
Avoid using straws or spitting for several days.
Take over-the-counter pain relievers as directed.
Avoid strenuous activity for a couple of days.
