Oral Surgery

Wisdom teeth at times can need an early extraction as they tend to affect the oral health of an individual. Owing to the area where third molars are situated, it becomes difficult to clean the area which leads to additional cavities and gum diseases.

Why Do Wisdom Teeth Get Impacted?

Sometimes, the lack of space makes it difficult for the wisdom tooth to grow. This impacts the third molars and they tend to grow in the corner or block themselves in the adjoining teeth.
The chances of the other teeth getting damaged are higher because of the added force by the blocked wisdom teeth. It causes shifting and crowding in your bite. Also, more often than not, wisdom teeth cause tooth misalignment more precisely at the front of your smile.

Can I Get Sedation During Oral Surgery?

We provide different types of sedation options to make you comfortable and at ease during the entire tooth surgery. Our experts shall discuss the possible sedation according to your preferences and comfort. We have sedations that include nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, IV sedation and general anaesthesia. We request our patients to inform us about their current and past medications so that we consider those factors before the procedure for your safety.

What’s Oral Surgery Recovery Like?

The removal of wisdom teeth promotes the health of your surrounding teeth and lowers the risk of minor infections. An X-ray will be taken by us to identify the exact position of the molars.
If you need to undergo an extraction, we ideally remove all the four molars at once in the same appointment by using sedation methods. This complete treatment is done in about an hour that does not allow you to spend a of time at the clinic.

At the end of the treatment, we advise you to follow some instructions that includes eating food which won’t bother your extraction sites. If you are experiencing wisdom tooth pain, visit us in St. Albans/Truganina for fast recovery.

Factors Influencing Wisdom Tooth Extraction Costs

  • Complexity of Extraction

    Simple extractions cost less, while impacted or surgical removals require more expertise and increase costs.

  • Number of Teeth Removed

    Extracting multiple wisdom teeth in one procedure may offer cost savings compared to separate extractions.

  • Type of Anesthesia Used

    Local anesthesia is more affordable, whereas IV sedation or general anesthesia increases the overall expense.

  • Dental Clinic Location

    Costs vary depending on the clinic’s location, with metropolitan areas generally charging higher fees than regional clinics.

  • Dentist’s Experience & Expertise

    Highly experienced oral surgeons may charge more.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Wisdom teeth are third molars that usually emerge in late teens or early adulthood. When they don’t have enough space to grow properly, they can become impacted, cause pain, infections, or affect the alignment of other teeth. In such cases, removal may be recommended to protect your overall oral health and comfort at our Melbourne clinic.

Signs that wisdom teeth may need extraction include persistent pain at the back of the mouth, swelling, difficulty cleaning around the area, recurring infections, or crowding of adjacent teeth. Our experienced dentists assess your condition using clinical examination and imaging to determine the best treatment plan.

Wisdom tooth removal typically starts with a consultation and X-ray assessment to determine the tooth’s position and complexity. Depending on the case, the dentist may perform a straightforward extraction or a more involved surgical procedure. Sedation or anaesthesia options are discussed to ensure your comfort throughout the process.

At DIS Dental Surgery in Melbourne, patient comfort is a priority. We offer a range of sedation options, from nitrous oxide to oral conscious sedation, IV sedation, and general anaesthesia, based on your needs and treatment complexity. This helps ensure a calm and comfortable experience during wisdom teeth removal.

After wisdom tooth extraction, healing varies depending on the procedure’s complexity. You will receive clear aftercare instructions, including dietary guidance and pain management tips, to support a smooth recovery. Following these instructions closely helps reduce swelling, discomfort, and the risk of complications.
