Have you been experiencing wisdom teeth pain, pus or bad breath? Is your face swollen, you’re constantly dealing with ulcers, or have you been told you’ve got ‘impacted wisdom teeth’?
Our compassionate and highly experienced dentists will examine your wisdom teeth discomfort, and will assess, treat, or in some cases recommend removing wisdom teeth, whereas our payment plans and general anesthesia will make the latter as pleasant as possible.
At TL Dental if you’re in unbearable wisdom teeth pain, you can see us via our emergency appointments we schedule into our calendar each day.
An experienced, conservative approachIf our dentists can treat the cause of your wisdom teeth pain, without surgery, they will.
General AnesthesiaFeeling anxious? Not to worry – we have partnered with Pacific Anaesthesia North Coast – ensuring you’re in the most experienced and competent hands, throughout your treatment.
Finance availableThe cost of wisdom teeth removal can be paid for using our payment plans – so you can say goodbye to teeth AND budget discomfort.
Wisdom teeth pain can completely ground you, which is why during a check-up and clean we will always examine them to make sure they’re in good condition.
If during any appointment it is assessed that you need your wisdom teeth removed, we will remove during the one surgery, gently, with your comfort prioritised. You can choose to have this surgery under general anesthesia.
We will give you comprehensive advice post-surgery such as what to eat (i.e. soft foods!), to ensure your recovery is comfortable and quick.
Three steps from ‘Woe’ to ‘Woohoo!’
Book an appointment at a time that will allow for your wisdom teeth removal and recovery (typically two-three days recovery).
Our compassionate and highly-skilled dentists will remove all four wisdom teeth under just local anaesthetic, or using general anesthesia if requested.
After the surgery you’ll be given information on how to manage any expected swelling, bleeding or throbbing, and within a few days you’ll be smiling, sipping and chewing as usual.
Each patient’s wisdom teeth extraction treatment will be different, so costs will also differ. We offer flexible payment plans so you’ll be relieved of physical pain now, and any financial burden over time.
Wisdom teeth are the molar teeth found right at the back of your mouth, typically emerging in adulthood. You have two at the top and two at the bottom, and it’s important to note that not every person will experience wisdom teeth related pain.
No they don’t. If you are experiencing wisdom teeth pain, please mention this at your check-up and clean, or if you’re not due for one please book an appointment. During these appointments our dentists will take an x-ray to see if wisdom teeth extraction is necessary, or if the symptoms you’re experiencing can be managed by cleaning the area, antibiotics, etc.
These are wisdom teeth that have not fully emerged from the gum properly, and can cause infection, pain, pus, swelling and / or are pushing other teeth, causing misalignment.
After your wisdom teeth surgery you may experience some bleeding, facial swelling, and mild discomfort that can be managed by over-the-counter pain medication. You should eat soft foods that require little chewing, and try to favour eating with your front teeth. Rest assured the swelling will likely recede in 48 hours.
If your wisdom tooth socket (where the wisdom tooth once sat) does not form a blood clot over itself, there is a risk that food will get in this previous wisdom tooth site, and cause infection and severe pain. If you suspect this ‘dry socket’ has happened – please make an appointment.
