For some, wisdom teeth emerge without a hitch. But many experience discomfort, swelling and infections. When space in the jaw is tight, wisdom teeth can cause pain, bad breath, and may even lead to gum disease or tooth decay.
In these cases, wisdom teeth removal may be the best way to get your smile back in shape. At Arc Dental Surrey Hills, our experience, gentle techniques, calming sleep dentistry options and high-tech equipment make removing impacted or problematic wisdom teeth safe, smooth and stress-free.

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last set of teeth to appear, usually between the ages of 17 and 25 years. Wisdom teeth removal is often required when there isn’t enough space in the jaw for the teeth to erupt properly, leading them to become impacted. Impacted wisdom teeth can result in severe pain, difficulty chewing, bad breath, decay, infection, cysts, gum inflammation, and damage to nearby teeth.
Wisdom teeth surgery can be performed by either a dentist or an oral surgeon. A local anaesthetic is used to numb the mouth, and patients may also choose to have the procedure done under IV sedation or general anaesthesia.

Wisdom teeth extraction is typically required when there isn't enough room in the jaw for them to erupt properly. A partially erupted or impacted tooth can cause pain, and may lead to infection, dental crowding, tooth damage, damage to gum tissue or other serious complications.
The best way to find out if wisdom tooth extraction is right for you is to see us for a wisdom teeth check up in Surrey Hills. During this appointment, we will conduct a thorough examination of your teeth and oral health take scans and x-rays to determine if your wisdom teeth are likely to impact your dental health and cause future issues. Based on this assessment, we recommend whether you need your wisdom teeth removed.
