Do You Need Impacted WisdomTooth Extraction in Sydney?

If your wisdom teeth are causing you pain, removal is the best option. Smile Concepts offers wisdom tooth removal in Sydney and can treat several health issues related to impacted wisdom teeth, including:

Infection
When an impacted wisdom tooth starts to push through the gums, an infection can start around the top of the tooth.
Infection & inflammation can cause pain, swelling and jaw stiffness.
Damage to nearby molars​
Sacks of fluid called cysts can form around the tooth and may displace the tooth.
The cysts can destroy bone and damage other teeth and gums.
Damage to nearby molars.
Cysts
An impacted wisdom tooth may keep pushing against the molars next to it.
This often leads to a serious damage to both teeth.
Crowding
A wisdom tooth may push nearby teeth out of their correct position and may cause teeth crowding of front teeth.

What causes impacted wisdom teeth pain?
When there is no space for the wisdom tooth to grow (because your jaw bone is smaller than normal), it gets trapped.

The wisdom tooth may just partially erupt therefore being stuck under the gum partially.

Food particles can collect under this ‘flap’ and starts to rot.

Bacteria that are collecting under the wisdom tooth flap then cause a major infection leading to swelling of the area and severe wisdom teeth pain.

Additionally, the wisdom tooth that is opposing the one with the flap also hits on the flap that is swollen and causes trauma to the site, causing further wisdom tooth pain.

Impacted wisdom teeth pain can also happen if there is an abscess (collection of pus) under the impacted wisdom tooth.

Cysts are another cause. Getting wisdom tooth extraction will enable treatment and lessen the pain.

How Wisdom Tooth Extraction Can Help You?
Wisdom teeth removal is always a good idea. It can save you from long-term pain and related complications. When you leave impacted wisdom teeth untreated, they cause infection. This leads to severe gum diseases.

If you have an impacted wisdom tooth, it will push against your normal teeth. Over a longer period, this will cause misalignment and painful crowding. You do not want that, right? So when you get wisdom tooth extraction, you eliminate the risk of a misaligned smile.

Sometimes, cysts develop around the impacted wisdom tooth. These cysts can destroy your jawbone and nearby teeth. So don’t wait for your wisdom tooth problem to get big. Get the best wisdom tooth extraction in Sydney at Smile Concepts.

Wisdom Teeth Removal Process
If you’re finding your wisdom teeth are causing you discomfort, you may need wisdom teeth removal. A tooth may be impacted under the gums, and leaving it alone can cause other, larger complications such as the ones mentioned earlier. Here’s what to expect for your Wisdom teeth removal procedure.

When you come in for Wisdom Teeth Removal, our dentist will take an x-ray to discern the best way to handle the impacted teeth. Treatment can be anything from a small cut to help the tooth come through properly, to complete removal and treatment of any related issues.

Depending on your case, our dentist will recommend a treatment plan that works for you. If your wisdom teeth need to be extracted, a simple case can be treated then and there, with a local anaesthetic. However, more complex cases of impacted wisdom teeth may require days of preparation. Our wisdom tooth removal dental professionals in Sydney will put you to sleep and can remove your wisdom teeth painlessly.

Care after impacted wisdom teeth removal in Sydney
We generally would ask you to come in for review in 2 weeks after the removal of impacted wisdom teeth.

Stitiches/sutures generally dissolve themselves, if not we will remove them for you.

It is very important to remember five rules:

What is the Cost of Wisdom Teeth Removal?
Generally the cost of wisdom teeth removal depends on the complexity & difficulty of removing them & the experience of the clinician. At Smile Concepts, we have a highly skilled Maxillofacial Specialist Surgeon, who has immense experience wisdom teeth extraction and other complex surgical procedure. The cost of wisdom teeth removal can start from $300.00 per tooth. Additionally, we have partnerships with various payment plan providers, that can now allow us to offer wisdom teeth removal on INTEREST-FREE payment plans, which start from $20/week – with no hidden costs.

Here, at Smile Concepts, patients also have the opportunity to have their impacted wisdom teeth extracted under Sleep Dentistry (IV Sedation) or local anaesthetic, whatever you prefer.

There are additional costs if you choose to remove your wisdom teeth under IV sedation. A highly skilled sedationist dentist is part of our team and comes in and looks after the IV sedation aspect.

For detailed cost information and to discuss your payment options, contact our Wisdom Tooth Extraction team at Smile Concepts Sydney CBD.

What is Inhalation Sedation Dentistry?
Inhalation Sedation Dentistry is the most common sedation technique and is also known as ‘happy’ gas. It has helped many of our patients go through the wisdom teeth removal process with no pain.

Inhalation sedation is the preferred option for many, as patients recover quickly and may leave the dental office alone and immediately resume their normal daily activities after wisdom tooth removal.

What is Intravenous Conscious Sleep Dentistry?
Intravenous Conscious Sleep Dentistry is a safe sedation technique and though it is not as readily available as other forms of sedation, it is more effective than administering the same drugs orally.

Patients will not remember any of the procedure and will feel as though they were asleep, even though they were wide-awake throughout.

When the gentle dentist uses intravenous sedation, patients will need to be hooked up to monitoring devices to measure blood pressure, breathing, and heart rate.

Patients must have someone escort them when leaving the office after the procedure.

What are the complications of impacted wisdom tooth removal?
The most common complications of removing wisdom teeth are the following:

pain (relieved with anti-inflammatories)
swelling (relieved with anti-inflammatories and cold ice packs
infection (generally treated with antibiotics)
inability to open your mouth properly (resolves in a few days with anti-inflammatories)
Bleeding (this is normally because you have been spitting blood continuously. The best way to stop it as to apply gauze in the area and bite on it for 30min.
Anxious? Sleep Through the Process.
All these last for a few days only and are treated with appropriate antibiotics and pain killers.

RARE complications include things such as:

A dry socket (infection that is more common in smokers).
Nerve bruising (this is most of the time a transient problem and very very rarely permanent).
Oral antral communication (a hole that is created between the mouth and the sinus. This is very rare and easily treated as well.
Fracture of the jaw (very rare)
For those considering Wisdom Tooth Extraction, understanding these potential complications can help in preparation and recovery.
