Wisdom Teeth Removal in Canberra

Wisdom teeth issues can affect people differently, depending on tooth position, jaw structure, and overall oral health. For patients across Canberra, wisdom teeth removal is often recommended when these teeth begin causing pain, infection, crowding, or damage to neighbouring teeth. Addressing the problem early with a well-planned approach can help avoid ongoing discomfort and more complex dental concerns.

Wisdom teeth commonly cause problems when there isn’t enough space for them to erupt fully. This can lead to partial eruption, impaction, repeated gum inflammation, or infection at the back of the mouth. During your consultation, our dentists carefully assess your teeth using clinical examination and imaging to determine whether wisdom tooth extraction is necessary and how it can be carried out safely and comfortably. For patients seeking an experienced dentist in Canberra, Dentist at Dickson offers clear guidance and tailored care.

Wisdom Teeth Removal with Your Comfort in Mind

Because no two cases are the same, wisdom teeth removal is planned based on the position and complexity of each tooth. Straightforward extractions may be completed using standard techniques, while impacted or angled wisdom teeth may require more advanced methods such as flap and sectioning or transalveolar extraction to protect surrounding bone and teeth.

    When a wisdom tooth is close to a nerve, a coronectomy is often considered to reduce the risk of nerve-related complications. Modern approaches, including piezoelectric surgery and laser-assisted techniques, may also be used where appropriate to minimise tissue trauma, reduce swelling, and support smoother healing.

    Whether you are experiencing pain, signs of infection, or considering preventive wisdom teeth removal, our professional dentists in Canberra are always focused on providing a safe, carefully planned, and well-informed treatment experience.
