Your wisdom teeth may need to be removed if there is not enough space in your mouth for them to come through and they become “impacted” and cause pain.
Upon your consultation appointment we would do a visual examination and determine if we need an OPG which is a large mouth x-ray done at a local imaging centre.
Once we can visually see the wisdom teeth and their roots through the OPG we will be able to inform you if it is a simple extraction that can be done here in the chair with local aesthetic, or if we need to refer you to our specialist.
Dr Kamini Tiwari has a special interest in Wisdom teeth removal and is always happy to discuss your options whether to have your wisdom teeth removed here at our surgery under a local aesthetic or under a general anaesthetic in hospital.
We will only remove your tooth when no other option is suitable. If required, your tooth extraction is performed mainly if there is extreme tooth decay or trauma. Tooth extractions can also be a part of a larger dental procedure including the extraction of some permanent teeth to make space for orthodontic treatment, however we emphasise we only take this option if absolutely necessary.
Servicing the locals of Ivanhoe, Bulleen, Heidelberg and beyond, we offer comprehensive cosmetic and general dentistry under the same roof. We accept payment plans (such as Denticare) and after-hours appointments for your added convenience.
