Wisdom Teeth Removal
Ferntree Gully
Advanced Wisdom Teeth surgery by one of Australia's Leading Dental Trainers
Wisdom teeth are third molars that typically emerge in the late teens or early twenties. Most adults have four—one in each corner of the mouth. As human diets have softened with modern cooking and cutlery, the need for extra chewing power has substantially diminished. As a result, jaw sizes have evolved to be smaller, often leaving little room for wisdom teeth, which is a leading cause of impacted wisdom teeth.
At ARIA Dental, our highly qualified dentists are experienced in everything from simple to complex wisdom teeth extractions with sedation options available. Our Principal Dentist, Dr Matthew Youssef, is also a sought-after mentor, training other dentists in surgical extractions.
Are Wisdom Teeth Extractions necessary?
At ARIA Dental, we take a conservative, patient-focused approach, always aiming to preserve your natural, healthy teeth. However, in certain situations, wisdom teeth extractions become necessary. Some of the most common conditions include:
Impacted Wisdom Teeth
When wisdom teeth lack space to erupt properly, they can become impacted in the gum or jawbone, leading to pain, swelling, and even infection that may affect both the wisdom tooth and surrounding teeth.
Overcrowding
When there isn’t enough room in the jaw, wisdom teeth can push against neighbouring teeth, causing crowding and orthodontic concerns. In such cases, removal of the less functional wisdom teeth may be advised.
Tooth Decay
Due to their position at the back of the mouth, wisdom teeth can be difficult to clean, making them prone to decay and infection. Telltale signs of tooth decay are toothache, swelling, and cavities.
Prevention
If your wisdom teeth show signs of potential future issues, we may recommend early removal to prevent more complex problems later on before they eventuate.
Health Impact
Wisdom teeth can sometimes damage adjacent teeth, irritate sinuses, or contribute to jaw discomfort. In such instances, removal can help relieve symptoms and protect overall oral health.
What to expect during your
Wisdom Tooth Extraction?
If you’re experiencing any of the symptoms mentioned above and are advised to undergo a wisdom tooth extraction, here’s what you can expect:
-
Your initial consultation is essential for us to understand your oral health condition and diagnostics. We’ll take detailed 3D imaging of your mouth and determine whether extraction is necessary. If deemed necessary, we will take the time to discuss your condition, offer a personalised treatment plan, and all other relevant details to ensure you feel confident in making an informed decision.
-
Depending on your case, the procedure may involve a simple or complex wisdom tooth extraction. Our extraction facility in Ferntree Gully is purpose-designed to offer sleep dentistry, ensuring you have a calm and comfortable experience throughout the process. You will also receive clear instructions beforehand on how to prepare for your surgery.
-
Our care doesn’t end with the surgery. We use advanced techniques to promote faster healing and significantly reduce the risk of infection. You’ll also receive clear guidance on post-treatment care at home to support a smooth recovery. The typical recovery period after wisdom teeth surgery is 7–10 days. If you experience any discomfort during your recovery, we recommend booking an appointment with us as soon as possible.
How much does Wisdom Teeth removal cost?
The cost of wisdom teeth removal depends on variables such as the nature and complexity of extraction, sedation options and the number of teeth removal.
