Complex cases treated
Wisdom teeth are the third molars at the back of the mouth. Some come through without issues, but many do not have enough space to grow properly.
When wisdom teeth are impacted, partly erupted or hard to clean, they can lead to pain, infection, gum swelling, decay, food trapping, bad breath and pressure on nearby teeth.
A proper assessment helps determine whether your wisdom teeth can stay, need monitoring or should be removed.
If you have wisdom tooth pain, swelling or pressure at the back of your mouth, your wisdom teeth may be impacted, infected or difficult to clean.
Your wisdom teeth may need assessment if you notice:
Wisdom tooth pain, pressure or tenderness at the back of the mouth, especially when biting, chewing or opening your jaw.
Swollen gums, bad taste, bad breath or recurring infection around a wisdom tooth that has only partly come through.
An impacted wisdom tooth that feels trapped, grows at an angle or presses against the tooth next to it.
Every case starts with an assessment. Dr Willis will review your symptoms, examine your wisdom teeth and may recommend imaging to check the position of the tooth, roots and nearby structures.
If wisdom tooth removal is recommended, you will be told what type of extraction is needed, what anaesthetic or sedation options may suit you and what recovery usually involves.
Wisdom teeth removal is planned around your comfort. Depending on your case, this may involve local anaesthetic, sedation options or hospital-based general anaesthesia. Dr Willis will explain the most suitable option before treatment begins.
If you have an impacted wisdom tooth, a small surgical approach may be needed to access and remove it safely. In some cases, the tooth is divided into smaller sections to reduce pressure on the surrounding area during extraction.
After wisdom teeth removal, you will be given clear after-care instructions to support healing. This includes guidance on bleeding, swelling, pain relief, soft foods and what to avoid during the first few days of recovery.
