Whether you are a long-time local at Wheelers Hill or you are just popping in from Mount Waverley, we know that the thought of having your wisdom teeth removed can be a bit daunting. We believe that every patient deserves high-quality and professional care, which is why we have modern facilities and an expert team ready to help.

Our Oral Surgery Specialist, Dr Shady Abdelsalam, walks us through the process of wisdom teeth removal right here at Liberty Dental Centre.

Understanding the Wisdom Teeth Removal Procedure

A Range of Comfort Options

We understand that everyone’s needs are different. The procedure can be done while you are awake under a local anaesthetic, or in a more controlled setting under a general anaesthetic for maximum comfort. This is part of our commitment to sleep dentistry for our community.

Numbing and Preparation

Regardless of the setting you choose, the procedure itself is quite similar. We start by thoroughly numbing the area around the tooth to ensure there is no sharp pain. You may feel a little bit of pressure during the procedure, but you should not feel any pain at all.

Removing the Tooth

Next, we make a small flap around the tooth and the gums to carefully get the tooth out. Our focus is on being as precise and gentle as possible throughout the entire process.

Dissolvable Sutures and Post-Op Care

We almost always use sutures once the tooth has been removed. These are typically dissolvable, so you do not have to worry about having them taken out later. After we finish the procedure, we will provide you with thorough post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
