At Manor House Dental, we provide wisdom tooth removal for those experiencing discomfort. We understand it can be daunting, but we’re here to ensure your comfort and provide exceptional care.
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last set of molars to erupt in the mouth. They typically emerge in your late teens or early twenties, pushing through the gums at the back of your mouth. Ideally, wisdom teeth come through straight and fully functional. However, due to a lack of space in modern jaws, wisdom teeth often emerge impacted, meaning they’re stuck or erupt at an angle
Manor House Dental offers wisdom teeth removal in the clinic, using local anaesthetic to numb the area around the tooth. This ensures minimal discomfort during the procedure, which typically only takes a few minutes.
For nervous patients, we understand the importance of feeling relaxed. That’s why we offer twilight sedation administered by a Consultant anaesthetist. This will help you feel calm and comfortable throughout the procedure.
During the removal, your dentist will gently rock the tooth back and forth to loosen it from its socket. In some cases, a small incision in the gum may be necessary to access the tooth more easily. If the tooth is impacted or complex, it may be sectioned into smaller pieces for easier removal.
Removing wisdom teeth before they cause problems can save you from future complications like infection, damage to nearby teeth, or jaw problems.
Wisdom teeth can be difficult to clean properly, increasing the risk of cavities and gum disease. Removing them makes it easier to maintain good oral hygiene.
Impacted wisdom teeth can cause pain, swelling, and tenderness in the jaw. Removal alleviates these symptoms and promotes overall comfort.
Impacted wisdom teeth can push on other teeth, causing misalignment and bite problems. Removal helps maintain proper bite function.
At Manor House Dental, our wisdom tooth removal process ensures a swift recovery, typically lasting one to two weeks. However, many patients can return to their daily routines, including school and work, within three to five days.
For over 40 years, our friendly team has been creating a warm and welcoming environment where you can relax and trust you’re in good hands. We’re dedicated to providing exceptional dental care, using the latest technology to ensure accurate diagnosis and comfortable procedures. Whether you need a routine checkup or specialised treatment, your smile is our top priority.
While you may experience some discomfort during and after the procedure, our team at Manor House Dental employs techniques to minimize pain and ensure your comfort. We also provide postoperative care instructions and may prescribe pain medication if necessary to manage any discomfort during the healing process.
Like any surgical procedure, wisdom tooth removal carries some risks, such as infection, bleeding, or damage to surrounding teeth or nerves. However, our experienced dental professionals at Manor House Dental take every precaution to minimize these risks and ensure the safety and well-being of our patients. We will discuss any potential risks with you before the procedure and address any concerns you may have.
