Wisdom Teeth Removal
Located near Bentleigh East and require urgent wisdom teeth removal?
Most people with wisdom teeth will have to get them removed during their lifetime. We can make this process as quick and painless as possible.
Wisdom teeth removal is sometimes necessary where the wisdom teeth flare up and cause significant pain. Wisdom teeth are unusual in that some people have third molars (wisdom teeth) and others don’t. In certain cases wisdom teeth don’t have room to erupt and can cause pain. Where wisdom teeth pain is experienced, wisdom teeth removal may be the best option.
Affordable Wisdom Teeth Removal — based in Bentleigh East.
The issue with wisdom teeth is that we tend not to have enough room in our mouths to have the wisdom teeth coming through. As a result, they can through in quite abnormal positions. Any tooth that is abnormally positioned tends to trap food much more easily than other teeth in the mouth. So people can be prone to develop little infections.
Having your wisdom teeth removed is reasonably straightforward. It takes approximately half an hour to do it. We can make the area really numb, so there’s no discomfort while the wisdom tooth is being removed. If you have dental insurance, please let us know when you are booking your appointment.

Why Remove Wisdom Teeth?
There are four main effects of wisdom teeth impaction requiring tooth extraction to preserve patient well-being. Wisdom teeth need to be extracted in cases of:
Cavities
Wisdom tooth cavities result from tooth decay in the region of the wisdom tooth and affect neighbouring teeth. Food becomes trapped in the area of the irregular-developed wisdom tooth because it is difficult to clean. Excess oral bacteria colonise where plaque sticks to the trapped food, leading to the development of gum inflammation and infection. Extracting the wisdom tooth can prevent the spread of tooth decay to other dental structures.
Cysts
Wisdom tooth cysts form from fluid and gas build-up in the infected bone around the impacted wisdom tooth. Cysts may grow and vary in size requiring enucleation and wisdom tooth extraction, so as to remove infection and prevent its spread in the body.
Gum Disease
Wisdom tooth gum disease results from an inability to properly clean the impacted wisdom tooth. Plaque and excess bacteria colonise the food debris trapped in the region of the wisdom tooth. If left untreated gum disease can then develop. To preserve oral and overall health and prevent further bone loss the wisdom tooth is extracted.
Pericoronitis
Wisdom tooth pericoronitis is caused when the gum tissue or operculum overlapping the wisdom tooth becomes infected by colonising bacteria and plaque. The infection often re-occurs and results in the need for wisdom tooth extraction.
Wisdom Teeth Development and Impact
Wisdom teeth have undergone an evolutionary change in their development due to modern civilisation. In earlier centuries before the use of cutlery to eat when humans needed to be able to chew raw or semi-raw meats, roots and other foods, wisdom teeth served a useful and powerful purpose
Over time modern living and diet have changed the way humans evolve physically, including smaller jaw development and impacted wisdom teeth. Some people still develop wisdom teeth and others do not. Wisdom teeth may erupt causing dental disorders and impacted teeth, requiring their extraction.
When Do Wisdom Teeth Issues Arise
Between the ages of 18 and 25 wisdom teeth begin to develop. Wisdom teeth form in the back corners of the upper and lower jaw and may consist of one to four third molars. Some people develop no wisdom teeth while others only have one.
Wisdom teeth can become impacted when the jaw is too small to accommodate their growth. This requires dental treatment otherwise impaction may contribute to the wisdom teeth becoming infected.
Wisdom tooth infection occurs when the impacted wisdom tooth causes gum or operculum swelling and inflammation. Bacteria may colonise around the inflamed wisdom tooth leading to infection. If not properly cleaned and removed, trapped food may also cause plaque and bacterial build-up leading to infection.
Extractions & Wisdom Teeth Removals
Today there are many dental procedures that have been engineered to treat and ultimately save damaged teeth. There are, however, situations where considering tooth extraction is the only viable option in order to preserve good oral health.
Severe tooth decay and damage is often the primary concern facing patients. However, wisdom teeth removal is quite common and offers a number of benefits for the patient.
While the idea of tooth extractions is enough to send many into a tailspin of worry, it needn’t. In our clinic we offer our patients stress-free and pain-free tooth removal procedures. With an experienced gentle touch and the right equipment to ensure your comfort, you’ll find our clinic to be the right place to help you restore the health of your mouth.
Tooth Extraction Pain & Aftercare
Having your tooth extracted can be a little bit uncomfortable for a couple of days afterwards, but we can manage that with pain killers and it usually settles down quite quickly. Your healing time will largely depend on what kind of anaesthetic you received. If it was a local anaesthetic, it will be a lot less than if you were given IV sedation.
You will experience some bleeding, bruising and swelling in the first few days after surgery so be sure to follow your dentist’s recommendations closely when it comes to pain management, smoking, cleaning, eating and drinking.
