Common Wisdom Tooth Symptoms
Jaw Pain & Swelling
A dull ache or throbbing pressure at the back of your mouth, often accompanied by swollen or tender gums.
Impacted Teeth
Wisdom teeth emerging at an angle or trapped beneath the gumline, pressing against adjacent healthy teeth.
Difficulty Chewing or Opening
Stiffness in the jaw or pain when opening your mouth wide or eating solid foods.
Repeated Gum Infections
Partially erupted wisdom teeth create hard-to-clean pockets where bacteria cause painful pericoronitis.
What to Expect During Extraction
Digital X-Ray & Assessment
3D or panoramic X-rays map your wisdom tooth roots and nerve locations to plan a safe, precise extraction.

Complete numbing of the target area. We take extra time to ensure you feel zero pain throughout the procedure.

The wisdom tooth is carefully eased out or sectioned for a smooth, conservative removal.
Aftercare & Quick Recovery
We place self-dissolving stitches if needed, provide complete aftercare instructions, and review your healing.

Wisdom Teeth FAQs
Does wisdom teeth removal hurt?
No. The procedure is performed under effective local anaesthetic so you will feel no pain. You may feel gentle pressure. We also provide clear aftercare advice and pain management guidance.
How long does recovery take after wisdom tooth extraction?
Most patients recover within 3 to 5 days. Initial swelling and tenderness peak around Day 2 and subside quickly. You can usually return to normal work or school within 24–48 hours.
What is an impacted wisdom tooth?
An impacted wisdom tooth is one that cannot erupt properly because it is blocked by bone or another tooth, or growing at an angle. Impacted teeth can cause pain, infection, or damage adjacent teeth if left untreated.
Do all wisdom teeth need to be extracted?
Not at all. If your wisdom teeth are healthy, fully erupted, correctly positioned, and easy to clean, they do not need to be removed. We only recommend extraction when wisdom teeth cause pain, infection, or crowding.
