At Hampton Dental Surgery, we provide gentle and effective wisdom tooth removal to relieve pain, prevent complications, and protect your overall oral health.
Wisdom teeth can often cause discomfort or dental issues when there isn’t enough space for them to grow properly. Our experienced team uses modern techniques to ensure a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience.
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last teeth to develop at the back of your mouth. They usually appear between the ages of 17 and 25.
Most people have four wisdom teeth, but not everyone has enough space for them to erupt properly.
Wisdom teeth may need to be removed if they become impacted (trapped under the gums or growing at an angle), which can lead to various dental problems.
Removal is commonly recommended if you experience:
Pain or swelling at the back of the mouth
Infection or gum inflammation
Food trapping and difficulty cleaning
Tooth decay or damage to nearby teeth
Cysts or other complications
We ensure a smooth and comfortable treatment process:
We examine your teeth and may take digital X-rays to determine the position of your wisdom teeth.
We create a personalised plan based on the complexity of your case.
Local anaesthesia is used to numb the area, and sedation options may be available for added comfort.
The tooth is carefully removed using gentle and precise techniques.
