Wisdom teeth only need removing when they are causing problems, or are clearly going to. A wisdom tooth that has come through fully, is cleanable and is not causing trouble is usually best left alone.
They do need to come out when they are partly through and repeatedly getting infected, when they are decaying the tooth in front, or when there is not enough room and the pressure is causing pain. We assess rather than remove routinely.
A radiograph shows the position of the roots and how close they run to the nerve in the lower jaw. For difficult positions we may ask for a CBCT scan, or refer you to an oral surgeon — where that is the safer route, we will say so.
We go through your medical history and any medication, particularly blood thinners. Eat beforehand, and arrange for someone to take you home if we have agreed on sedation.
Local anaesthetic. Straightforward teeth come out with careful controlled movement. Impacted ones may need the gum lifted, some bone removed, or the tooth sectioned. You will feel pressure but should not feel pain.
Stitches where needed, and a gauze pack to bite on. We will not let you leave until the bleeding is controlled and you have written aftercare instructions.
A check at about a week to confirm healing and remove any non-dissolving stitches.
The extraction itself is done under local anaesthetic, so you feel pressure rather than pain. Afterwards there is soreness and swelling for a few days, controlled with the pain relief we prescribe.
Most people are comfortable within three to five days for a straightforward extraction, and up to about a week for an impacted one. Swelling is usually worst on the second or third day, then improves.
Not necessarily. It depends on their position, your symptoms and your own preference. Doing one side at a time means you can still chew on the other, which many people prefer.
For a simple extraction, often yes. For an impacted lower wisdom tooth, plan a day or two of rest. Do not schedule it right before an important event or travel.

Guidelines from Dr. Srushti Patel following your treatment:
Same-day attention for severe toothache, swelling, a broken tooth or a knocked-out tooth. Call before you come in.
Endodontic therapy
Saves a badly decayed or infected tooth by cleaning the nerve space and sealing it, instead of removing the tooth.
A titanium post placed in the jaw to replace a missing tooth root, restored with a crown that functions like a natural tooth.
Tell us what is bothering you and we will find a time that works. If you are in pain, please call rather than sending a form — we will get you seen sooner.
