At Pelago Dental, we are committed to making your wisdom teeth removal efficient, comfortable, and affordable, ensuring a smooth experience from start to finish.
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last set of teeth to appear, usually in the late teens or early twenties. Most people have four wisdom teeth, one in each corner of the mouth. Because there is often not enough space for them to grow properly, they can lead to pain, crowding, or other dental issues.
Impacted wisdom teeth occur when these back molars don’t have enough space to emerge or grow in properly. They may remain partially or fully trapped under the gums or come in at the wrong angle, leading to pain, crowding, or infection if left untreated.
At Pelago Dental, our experienced team is here to provide gentle, high-quality care for your wisdom teeth. We have extensive experience in wisdom tooth removal and are committed to ensuring excellent results and patient comfort.
We will keep you informed at every step, answer any questions you have, and make your experience as smooth as possible. With Pelago Dental, you can feel confident you’re in safe hands for your wisdom teeth examination and removal.
Not all wisdom teeth need to be removed. However, they may need removal if they are impacted, causing pain, crowding, infection, or damaging nearby teeth.
At Pelago Dental, we will assess your wisdom teeth with a thorough examination and X-rays to determine whether removal is necessary for your oral health.
Wisdom teeth removal is a routine procedure to prevent or address problems caused by impacted or problematic wisdom teeth. At Pelago Dental, we will guide you through each step so you know what to expect and feel comfortable throughout your treatment.
Before removal, your dentist will perform a thorough examination of your mouth and take X-rays to assess the position and condition of your wisdom teeth. This helps us determine if extraction is needed and plan the best approach for your procedure.
On the day of your procedure, a local anaesthetic will be used to numb the area around your wisdom teeth to ensure you are comfortable. For more complex cases or if you prefer, we also offer general anaesthesia so you can be fully asleep during the extraction.
Once the anaesthesia has taken effect, your dentist will begin the extraction. If your wisdom teeth are impacted, a small incision may be made in the gums to access the tooth. The tooth will then be carefully removed, and the area will be cleaned to ensure it is free of debris.
After your wisdom teeth are removed, your dentist may place dissolvable stitches to help the area heal. These stitches will naturally dissolve on their own, so you won’t need to return to have them removed.
After your procedure, you will receive clear instructions on caring for your mouth during recovery. This will include guidance on managing pain, swelling, and bleeding, along with tips for maintaining good oral hygiene while your mouth heals.
A follow-up appointment will be scheduled to check your healing progress and ensure there are no complications. At Pelago Dental, our experienced Karratha dentists provide attentive, high-quality care to support a smooth recovery and ensure your comfort throughout the process.
