Wisdom Teeth Removal in Perth

dental xrays on female patient At Serene Smiles Perth, Dr Mitra and Dr Parnian bring decades of combined experience to every wisdom tooth surgery. Our team is equipped to handle complex cases with precision and empathy, ensuring each procedure is as comfortable and painless as possible.

Why Do Wisdom Teeth Need to Be Removed?

For many individuals, the jaw does not have enough space to accommodate wisdom teeth, which may lead to pain, infection, and crowding of other teeth. Removing wisdom teeth is often necessary to preserve overall oral health and maintain the proper alignment of your smile.

The ideal age for wisdom teeth removal is between 16 and 24 years old, as patients typically experience faster healing and easier recovery. Removing wisdom teeth earlier may be premature as the teeth are not fully developed, whereas delaying the procedure can increase risks and prolong recovery.

The Steps for a Successful Extraction Process

Understanding your needs and comfort is our priority. Our process begins with a thorough examination and OPG X-rays to determine the precise condition of your wisdom teeth. We provide a targeted care plan that suits your specific needs and review the options for sedation and care.

We offer a range of sedation options to make the experience as stress-free as possible, including

Oral Sedation – a cost-effective option to ease anxiety that’s suitable for many patients.
Nitrous Sedation – otherwise known as ‘happy gas’, reduces anxiety and discomfort of procedures
IV Sedation – ideal for particularly nervous patients or those who wish to be asleep during the procedure; this option allows for deeper relaxation without having to go to hospital.

Depending on the individual case, the procedure time can vary from 40-90 minutes, and some teeth may not need removal. Our dentist will recommend the approach that suits your situation.

Sleep Dentistry

Our team works with highly trained sedationists to allow twilight sedation in the chair, making even the most complex extractions smooth and pain-free.

FAQs

How much will it hurt?

Our goal is for it not to hurt at all. We’ll never proceed if you’re uncomfortable, and we will use as much anaesthesia as needed to ensure you have a comfortable, pain-free experience.

What is the after-care process?

We will give adequate pain relief medication and oral antibiotics for you to take at home after the surgery.

How long will I be off work?

Depending on the complexity of the surgery, you will likely have bruising and swelling for one to two weeks, and opening wide may be difficult for two weeks. We recommend rest for 4-7 days, and try not to do a lot of talking for two weeks while your jaw heals.

What is the cost of wisdom teeth removal in Perth?

As dental costs can vary depending on individual circumstances and treatment needs, we recommend you contact your health fund if you have insurance to check what your out of pocket cost would be.
