At Lifetime Dental Care, we recognise the discomfort and potential oral health issues that can arise from impacted or problematic wisdom teeth.
We are pleased to offer a dedicated visiting surgeon who provides wisdom teeth extraction, ensuring that you receive the highest quality care for this particular concern.
With the added convenience of in-room IV sedation, we strive to make your wisdom teeth extraction procedure as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, typically erupt in the late teenage years or early adulthood. However, these teeth often lack the necessary space in the jaw to fully emerge or align properly with the existing teeth. When this happens, wisdom teeth can become impacted, causing a range of issues, including:
Crowding: Impacted wisdom teeth can exert pressure on surrounding teeth, leading to crowding or shifting of the dental arch.
Infection and Inflammation: Partially erupted wisdom teeth can create pockets of gum tissue that are difficult to clean, increasing the risk of bacterial growth, infection, and inflammation.
Tooth Decay and Gum Disease: Impacted wisdom teeth can make oral hygiene maintenance challenging, potentially resulting in tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health problems.
The Wisdom Teeth Extraction Process
Consultation and Examination: During your initial consultation, your dentist will carefully examine your wisdom teeth and evaluate their positioning and potential impact on your oral health. We will discuss the findings with you and recommend the appropriate course of action.
Treatment Planning: If wisdom teeth extraction is necessary, our in-house dental surgeon will develop a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. We will explain the procedure in detail, addressing any concerns or questions you may have.
Preparing for the Procedure: On the day of your wisdom teeth extraction, our dental professionals will ensure that you are comfortable and well-informed about the process. IV sedation will be administered to induce a state of deep relaxation, making the experience as painless and anxiety-free as possible.
Extraction: The dental surgeon will carefully remove the impacted wisdom teeth using advanced techniques and instruments. Our team will closely monitor your well-being and ensure that you are comfortable throughout the procedure.
Post-Extraction Care: After the extraction, our dental professionals will provide you with detailed instructions on post-operative care.
At Lifetime Dental Care, we prioritise your comfort, safety, and oral health. With our dental surgeon dedicated to wisdom teeth extraction and the convenience of in-room IV sedation, we offer a seamless and stress-free experience for our patients.
