Wisdom tooth removal

One appointment, usually 30 to 45 minutes

Wisdom teeth often come through at an angle or only partly, and can then cause problems. When removal is needed, we do it ourselves at Omnia Dental, so you do not have to go to a separate oral surgeon.

What does it involve?

Wisdom teeth are the last molars at the back of the mouth. Because there is little room there, they sometimes stay stuck in the bone or come through at an angle. That can cause inflammation, pain or problems with the neighbouring molar. In such cases removing the tooth is the best solution.

Many wisdom teeth can be removed in our own practice, under local anaesthetic. We assess the position of the tooth and the nerves with an x-ray beforehand, so the treatment is safe and predictable.

The treatment

How it goes with us

  1. 1

    Assessment and x-ray

    We look at the tooth and take an x-ray to assess the roots and their position relative to the nerves.

  2. 2

    Anaesthetic

    We anaesthetise the area well, so you feel no pain during the removal, only some pressure.

  3. 3

    Removing the tooth

    We remove the wisdom tooth calmly and in a controlled way. If needed we close the gum with dissolvable stitches.

  4. 4

    Aftercare

    You receive clear guidance for the first days, so the wound heals well and calmly.

Why choose this treatment

  • Often removable in our own practice
  • Carefully mapped in advance with an x-ray
  • Under good anaesthetic, as comfortable as possible
  • Honest advice on whether treatment fits here or is better done elsewhere

Questions

About wisdom tooth removal

Does every wisdom tooth have to come out?
No. A wisdom tooth that sits well and causes no trouble can simply stay. We only remove it when there is a clear reason to.
How long does recovery take?
The first days the area can be a little swollen and tender. For most people this settles within about a week. You receive clear instructions to take home.
Will I feel anything during the treatment?
Thanks to the anaesthetic you feel no pain, at most some pressure and movement. If you are nervous, we take extra time and explain everything step by step.
