Wisdom Tooth Removal And Extraction In London - Dr Romina

Wisdom teeth usually appear uneventfully between the ages of 17 and 25 without any problems.

Wisdom tooth issues – Wisdom teeth can often erupt much later. This is when most issues arise – including pain, jaw discomfort, bleeding or swollen gums and impacted or a partially erupted tooth.

Wisdom tooth removal – In most instances, you may need to have your wisdom tooth extracted or removed as a result of these eruption issues.

Wisdom teeth expert care – At Whites Dental, we have some of London’s most experienced dentists and surgeons – who will assess and provide you treatment options, including an extraction.

Our dentists in Waterloo SE1 and dentists near Paddington W2 can provide prompt diagnosis and treatment, including extraction of your wisdom tooth. Our Waterloo clinic is close to the London Eye and treats patients in Southbank, Elephant and Castle, Southwark & London Bridge. Our Marble Arch clinic is right next to Oxford Street and convenient for patients in Paddington, Notting Hill, Marylebone & Bayswater. Please feel free to book a wisdom tooth removal appointment with one of our private dentists.

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.

Our Wisdom Tooth Extraction Process

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.

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.

Patient Testimonial

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.
