What Is Wisdom Tooth Removal?

Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to come through, right at the back of your mouth. Often there isn’t enough room for them to come through properly, and they become impacted – stuck part-way through the gum or against the tooth in front. If you have pain or problems with a wisdom tooth, it is highly likely that it is impacted and may have some swelling or infection.

Wisdom tooth removal (extraction) is a common procedure, and there is great variation in how difficult it is – from a straightforward extraction to a surgical procedure. We can perform any tooth extraction in our clinic, and we treat patients from all over Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Cheshire and Kidsgrove with no long waiting times.

Benefits of Wisdom Tooth Removal

Removing a problem wisdom tooth can stop recurring pain and protect the teeth around it.

Relief from recurring wisdom tooth pain

Stops repeated gum infections (pericoronitis)

Protects the neighbouring molar from decay

Helps prevent gum problems around the back teeth

Treated in our clinic with no long waiting times

IV sedation available for nervous patients

Why Might a Wisdom Tooth Need Removing?

Your dentist may recommend removing a wisdom tooth because of:

Recurrent gum infection over a part-erupted tooth (pericoronitis)
Decay in the wisdom tooth that can’t be restored
An abscess caused by advanced decay
Decay or gum disease in the neighbouring molar
A cyst (fluid-filled sac) forming around the tooth
Other surgical procedures involving the jaw

There may be other, less common reasons, which your dentist will discuss with you. Wisdom teeth that aren’t causing any problems are usually left in place.

The Wisdom Tooth Removal Process

Careful planning for a safe, comfortable extraction

Assessment

We examine the tooth and take X-rays – using our CBCT 3D scanner where needed – to see its position and plan your treatment.

Comfort

The area is numbed with local anaesthetic, and IV sedation is available to help you feel relaxed if you’re anxious.

Removal

The tooth is carefully removed. Sometimes a small cut in the gum is needed, or the tooth or some bone is drilled down to free it.

Aftercare

We give you clear aftercare advice to help the area heal, and are here if you have any questions during your recovery.

The method used depends on how difficult the extraction is, any medical conditions you have and your personal circumstances – your dentist will discuss the best option with you.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would highly recommend having a dental implant at Kidsgrove Dental and Implant Centre should the need be.

Gary, the dentist, has a friendly, professional manner and his experience of and ability to do dental implants was made apparent to me.   It was an easy decision to go ahead with the sinus lift and dental implant after listening to him.  After explaining the process, Gary listened carefully to my concerns and quickly put me at ease, showing patience with me at all times.  The process of having a sinus lift and dental implant is done in stages over a few months and can also be paid for in stages along the way.  The result at the end is that I can now smile with confidence and more importantly chew normally on both sides of my mouth, not just one.  It has made such a difference to me.  I am very grateful to you Gary.  Thank you.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend this practise enough, i had a fixed white braces for 10 months, the whole process was made super easy & completley painless. I always hated my teeth & always covered my mouth when i smiled & now my teeth are completley straight thanks to Dr Gary Wu, I think he must be a magician 😂 I told him this many times because it is simply unbelievable what he can do. Dr Wu happily explains the process in great detail & he's always happy to answer your questions. All the staff are super friendly & put you at ease straight away. There are no hidden costs. My only regret is that i didnt do it sooner. Thankyou so much Gary i will always be very grateful

Your Anaesthetic Options

Your dentist will discuss which option is most appropriate for you.

Local Anaesthetic

An injection in the gum numbs the area, so you won’t feel pain during the extraction – you stay awake throughout.

IV Sedation

Local anaesthetic plus an injection in the arm or hand to reduce anxiety, so you feel deeply relaxed. Learn more

General Anaesthetic

You are completely asleep. This is carried out in hospital, and your dentist will discuss whether it is needed for your case.
