What is Wisdom Teeth Removal?

Wisdom teeth removal is a common dental procedure used to address wisdom teeth that are impacted, difficult to clean, causing pain, or contributing to infection or damage to nearby teeth. Wisdom teeth (third molars) often emerge in late teens or early adulthood and may not have enough space to come through properly. At Primary Dental, wisdom tooth removal is provided following a clinical assessment and appropriate imaging to ensure the safest approach, with a strong focus on patient comfort and clear aftercare guidance.

What to expect

1. Consultation and assessment

A dental professional will assess symptoms, check the position of your wisdom teeth, and review your oral and medical history. X-rays may be taken to evaluate tooth roots and surrounding structures.

2. Treatment planning

Your dentist will confirm whether removal is recommended and explain the procedure, comfort measures, expected healing time, and aftercare. Referral to an oral surgeon may be recommended for complex cases.

3. Wisdom tooth removal

Removal is performed using appropriate pain control (such as local anaesthetic). The method depends on the position of the tooth and whether it is fully erupted or impacted.

4. Aftercare and recovery

You will receive instructions to support healing, manage discomfort, and reduce the risk of complications. Follow-up appointments may be recommended depending on the case.

    I’ve been to many dental centres in Sydney and I must say this is one of the best dental service I’ve experienced. The location is so convenient, only 2 min walk from Town Hall. Staffs are supper friendly and gentle. They also offer very affordable price and you can pay with afferpay or zippay, which is amazing! Will definitely be back!

    I do enjoy the friendly and helpful staff, it’s makes all the difference. I will be the first to admit the dentist is my least favourite place to go however after my first visit for a general check up, I felt very confident and pleased with my appointment from Dr Brett Moore. He is compassionate and caring :)
