A tooth extraction is a routine procedure. Wisdom teeth are the third and last big teeth (molars) on each side of the upper and lower jaws – and the last teeth to come through (erupt), usually in your late teens or early twenties.

Often there needs to be more room in your mouth. Partially emerged or crooked wisdom teeth can also lead to pain and gum disease; impacted wisdom teeth tend to cause swelling and tenderness.

After surgery, you may be asked to bite down softly on a piece of gauze for 30 to 45 minutes after leaving the office to limit any bleeding. If the wisdom teeth are impacted and embedded in the bone, we make an incision into the gums and remove the tooth in sections to minimise the amount of bone being removed.

Wisdom teeth removal due to crowding or impaction does not affect your bite – or your oral health in the future.

Between 2% – 5% of people develop a dry socket post-surgery. After tooth extraction, a blood clot forms in the tooth socket and seals the area so that it can heal. A dry socket can occur during the first five days after the extraction when the blood clot breaks down or is dislodged, exposing the bone and nerves of the tooth.

To ease the pain, we rinse out the empty socket, remove any debris and apply medicated dressings to protect the area and decrease the pain. Prescribed antibiotics prevent infection, and painkillers ease discomfort – with proper care and rest, a dry socket heals in 7 to 10 days.

“Dr Alexandria Pierre was very attentive and kind during the check-up and cleaning. I couldn’t be happier!”

“Dr Maria Cristina Varela Montilla is simply amazing. I used to be absolutely terrified by dentist before I met her. She is really caring about her patients and always making sure we are feeling throughout the whole procedure. She will also give you honest advices and recommendations. On top of that, she is always super smiley and cheerful, which makes everything nicer.”

“I recently attended the clinic for an emergency root canal with Dr Maria Varela. Dr Maria was incredibly caring, and the process was painless. I cannot recommend the clinic and Dr Maria highly enough. Outstanding 5 Star service.”

I would highly recommend Smithfield dental. A very warm greeting when you walk in the door. A great service and very helpful with your questions . I will continue to go back to them.

I'm shocked at my experience quite frankly. I've previously used another dentist in the area, and it scared me off dentists to be honest. After a few years and recently having some pain with wisdom teeth I decided to try again. I called on Tuesday and had an appt for the next day, amazing so far. The office itself is clean, modern and Bobby at reception is very welcoming. I mentioned to the dental team as I sat in the dreaded chair that my teeth are my point of shame and I hadn't seen anyone about it in a long time, they were so....I suppose, gentle. They talked me through what was happening, reassured me that it wasn't as bad as I had feared and were able to give me a plan of action that didn't sound daunting or overblown. In a weird way I can't wait to go back, looking after my teeth properly now seems like something I can do which is a thing I never thought I'd say! Thank you so much guys!

Visited my dentist Dr Helena Brdej. She is very good, always feeling well in her hands. Good clinic in general with welcoming Bobby. Doing my aligners treatment here as well, so happy with the progress.

Booked here for a scale and polish. Great clinic, the staff are all lovely, booking was easy. The scale and polish was quick, pain free and my teeth are spotless. Already booked my next one. Highly recommend!

Excellent service, fine facilities and very friendly staff. I chipped a tooth and they found an emergency slot for me the following day.

FAQ

Does wisdom tooth extraction hurt?

The procedure itself is performed under local anaesthetic, so you won’t feel pain during the extraction. Some discomfort and swelling afterwards is normal, but this can be managed with pain relief and aftercare instructions provided by your dentist.

When should I have my wisdom teeth removed?

Wisdom teeth are usually removed if they’re causing pain, crowding, infection, or are impacted (stuck under the gum). Your dentist will assess your situation with an exam and X-ray to determine if extraction is needed.
