Wisdom Teeth Extractions in Ashburton
Wisdom teeth (third molars) are known to cause problems for many patients, young and old alike. They may cause unrelenting, acute pain or chronic pain episodes that do not respond well to over-the-counter painkillers. For some patients, even antibiotics don’t help reduce the accompanying pain and inflammation.
Because they are the last teeth to erupt, there’s often limited space left along your jawbone. This may contribute to a range of oral health concerns, including pain and discomfort. We understand how frustrating this might be for you, and many patients visit Aesthetic Mee Dental Surgery for removal when they haven’t found improvement through medication.
Why Removal Becomes Necessary
When wisdom teeth don’t have the space to erupt properly, they can cause a range of oral health concerns. Patients often experience headaches, gum swelling, abscesses, and infection. You might find it difficult, or even impossible, to bring your teeth together on the affected side. In some cases, a horizontally grown wisdom tooth can push into the neighbouring tooth, causing severe decay that may result in both teeth needing extraction.
We want to be proactive for our patients and address the issue before it progresses further. We support patients experiencing wisdom tooth concerns with assessment and management options tailored to their situation. We’re here to answer all your questions and help provide comfort throughout the process.
Providing One-Visit Procedures
Wisdom tooth removal is typically completed in a single appointment. We begin with a thorough assessment, including digital X-rays if needed, so we can see exactly what’s happening beneath the gum line. Then, under local anaesthetic, we carefully remove the problematic tooth.
Preparing for Your After-Care
You’ll be given clear post-procedure instructions on what to eat, how to care for the area, and what to expect during recovery. Though each patient’s experience is different, many patients heal with manageable discomfort that can often be supported with over-the-counter pain relief.
If any concerns come up afterwards, our team is just a phone call away.
