Surgical Extraction of Wisdom Teeth
Safe surgical removal of impacted or problematic wisdom teeth to protect your oral health.
Overview
Wisdom teeth often lack the space to erupt normally and can become impacted, causing pain, infection or damage to neighbouring teeth. Surgical extraction is a controlled procedure performed under local anaesthesia with careful planning based on dental X-rays.
Who may benefit
Adults with impacted, partially erupted or symptomatic wisdom teeth, or those referred for orthodontic reasons.
