    Types Of Wisdom Tooth Removal

    Non-surgical extraction

    Non-surgical wisdom tooth extraction - London

    A non surgical extraction is used when the wisdom tooth extraction is relatively straight forward – the tooth has fully emerged and is also readily accessible. It is relatively quick and recovery time is minimal.

    Surgical extraction

    Surgical wisdom tooth extraction - London

    A surgical extraction is needed when a wisdom tooth is either partially erupted or impacted or is broken under the gum line. It is a more complex process and may require stitches. Healing time is slightly longer.

    Wisdom Tooth Extraction Cost At Our Private London Clinics

    Our Wisdom Tooth Extraction Process

    Wisdom tooth removal usually requires x-rays for assessment

    Assessment

    If your wisdom tooth is causing you issues, we will book you for an appointment with the dentist to assess the reason and state of your wisdom tooth. They will usually calm your tooth down prior to wisdom tooth removal.

    Panoramic x-ray

    If a wisdom tooth extraction or removal is recommended, the dentist will take x-rays of your wisdom tooth. Usually a panoramic x-ray is required to identify any potential complexities such as impacted wisdom tooth or proximity to nerves.

    Extraction

    Based on the x-rays and assessment report, the dentist will determine if the extraction is simple or complicated. Some wisdom tooth removals can require a dental surgeon to perform the extraction. Extraction can take 1-3 hours depending on complexity.

    Sedation for wisdom tooth removal

    Why have sedation for wisdom tooth removal?

    Sedation can be included as part of wisdom tooth removal when a patient wants to feel more relaxed during the extraction. It can be particularly helpful for patients who feel nervous about dental treatment or are concerned about the extraction itself.

    How sedation works during extraction

    Sedation is administered before the wisdom tooth is removed, helping you become calm and relaxed before treatment begins. The dentist will still use local anaesthetic to completely numb the treatment area before starting the extraction.

    What you experience during removal

    With the sedation taking effect and the area fully numb, you should not experience sharp pain during the extraction. You may still be aware of pressure, pushing or movement as the dentist loosens and removes the wisdom tooth.

    Recovery after sedated extraction

    Once the wisdom tooth has been removed, the sedation will gradually wear off while you remain under appropriate observation. You will receive specific instructions for the remainder of the day, including any arrangements needed for getting home safely.

    Why Have Your Wisdom Tooth Extracted?

    Signs You May Need A Wisdom Tooth Removed

    Persistent pain at the back of the mouth

    Ongoing pain around your rear molars is one of the most common signs you may need your wisdom teeth removed. Persistent pain signals that the wisdom tooth is putting pressure on surrounding teeth.

    Swelling and redness in the gums

    If the gums around your wisdom tooth are swollen, red, or tender, it may indicate infection or inflammation. Swelling can make it difficult to clean the area properly, increasing the risk of gum disease and cavities near the tooth.

    Difficulty opening your mouth or chewing

    Wisdom teeth can sometimes cause jaw stiffness or pain when opening the mouth wide. This limited mobility, known as trismus, can result from pressure, misalignment, or infection in the surrounding tissues.

    Bad breath or unpleasant taste

    An impacted or partially erupted wisdom tooth can trap food particles and bacteria under the gum flap. This often leads to persistent bad breath or a bad taste in the mouth, which won’t improve with regular brushing alone.

    Crowding or shifting teeth

    Your wisdom tooth can press up against the adjacent teeth, causing your teeth to shift and cause crowding in the arch. If you notice your teeth changing position or overlapping, it’s a strong sign that extraction may be needed to prevent long-term misalignment.

    Reasons For Having A Wisdom Tooth Extraction

    Wisdom tooth eruption discomfort and pain

    When a wisdom tooth erupts or emerges, it is often associated with swelling, pain and also stiffness. In a few instances, the swelling and stiffness can lead to discomfort in opening your mouth.

    Wisdom tooth decay and abscess

    Many wisdom teeth eruption in a titled position. A titled wisdom tooth can be hard to clean, increasing the risk of caries. Decayed wisdom teeth can be hard to treat due to limited access, which can lead to abscess formation down the line.

    Gum inflammation and gum diseases

    A wisdom tooth that’s partially emerged can lead to food accumulation locally, increasing plague buildup and gum inflammation.

    Impacted wisdom teeth

    An impacted wisdom tooth occurs when the tooth is angled underneath the gum surface. It can cause pain, discomfort, especially is it directed towards the root of the adjacent teeth.

    Damage to adjacent teeth

    A partially erupted wisdom tooth increases the changes of food trapping and plague build up, increasing the risk of decay, both for itself and the adjacent tooth. Also, the pressure from the eruption can cause movement of the adjacent tooth, causing misalignment of the bite.

    Is Wisdom Tooth Removal Painful?

    What Does Wisdom Tooth Removal Feel Like?

    The injection numbs the tooth and surrounding gum, so the extraction itself should not cause significant pain. You may notice pressure, pulling or vibration, particularly if the tooth needs to be loosened or removed in sections.

    What Happens When The Numbing Wears Off?

    It is normal for the mouth to feel tender once the anaesthetic has disappeared, with discomfort often being more noticeable during the first few days. Swelling and jaw stiffness can also occur, especially after a surgical extraction, but these usually settle as healing progresses.

    Can You Make Recovery More Comfortable?

    Taking pain relief as advised and following your dentist’s aftercare instructions can make the recovery period much easier. Keeping the extraction area clean, avoiding strenuous activity initially and choosing softer foods can also help protect the healing site.

    Upon extraction, the dentist will advise on next steps, including a potential denture in London (although for wisdom teeth, a denture is rarely required).

    Aftercare And Recovery Tips Following Wisdom Tooth Removal

    Taking care of your mouth and gums after a wisdom tooth extraction is crucial for a smooth and quick recovery. At Whites Dental, we guide every patient through the proper steps to minimise discomfort and avoid complications like dry socket or infection.

    All staff is very nice and helpful, ensuring that one feels comfortable thought the visit/appointment. On my latest appointment a specialist Dr. Ravinder Varaich performed wisdom tooth extraction. She was extremely nice, made sure I was comfortable, explained the procedure in detail before and during the extraction – as always at Whites Dental I was in good and capable hands. Thank you.
