Wisdom Tooth Removal in Pascoe Vale

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 problems, we can remove one or all four to preserve your oral health and avoid future issues.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Does every wisdom tooth need to be removed?

No, not all wisdom teeth need to be removed; in fact, if they are already fully erupted and not causing concern, you may be able to leave them alone.

When you visit us for a check-up, we’ll look to see if your erupted wisdom teeth are functioning properly and in a good position to keep them clean, and if they are, you may not have to worry about extraction.

When Wisdom Teeth Should Be Removed

There are times when extracting one or more of your wisdom teeth is the best plan for your oral health and comfort.

We recommend removing your wisdom teeth if they are:

Impacted — When one or more wisdom teeth get trapped in your jaw, it can damage other teeth and lead to dental issues.
Partially erupted — If your wisdom teeth are partially exposed, they are prone to infection and decay, so removing them helps you maintain healthy teeth and gums.
Crowded — When your wisdom teeth don’t have enough space, they can damage your adjacent teeth.
Painful — If your wisdom teeth are causing mouth pain, it’s best to remove them.

Platelet-Rich Fibrin Treatment: Helping You Heal Faster

Whenever we extract a tooth, we use PRF (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 Teeth 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.
