Wisdom Teeth Removal & Extractions

Routine Wisdom Tooth Removal

Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars, typically appearing between 17–21 years old, but not everyone develops them!

While some wisdom teeth erupt normally, many can become impacted, infected, or painful due to limited space in the jaw. At AI Dental, we assess your wisdom teeth thoroughly and recommend the safest, most comfortable treatment.

Why Wisdom Teeth Often Cause Problems

Wisdom Teeth May Require Removal When They:

Don’t have enough room to erupt

Are impacted in the gums or jawbone

Grow in at an incorrect angle

Cause pain, swelling, or recurrent infections

Lead to gum disease or decay

Damage neighbouring teeth

Form cysts or (rarely) tumours

Even if pain comes and goes, underlying issues may still progress.

Wisdom Tooth Removal Treatment Options

We offer a full range of cosmetic dental treatments, including:

Monitoring

Healthy wisdom teeth that are well-positioned may be reviewed during routine check-ups.

Chairside Wisdom Tooth Removal

Many straightforward wisdom tooth extractions can be performed in the dental chair under local anaesthetic.

Specialist Referral

For complex, deeply impacted, or high-risk cases, we may refer you to an oral surgeon for safe removal.

Benefits of Wisdom Tooth Removal

Removing problematic wisdom teeth can help:

Relieve pain and discomfort

Prevent infections and swelling

Protect neighbouring teeth from decay or shifting

Prevent gum disease in hard-to-clean areas

Stop cysts or jaw complications

Reduce risk of future dental emergencies

Wisdom Tooth Removal FAQs

Does everyone have wisdom teeth?

No, some people have all four, some have fewer, and some have none.
The procedure itself is painless due to anaesthetic. You may feel pressure. Afterwards, mild discomfort and swelling are normal and manageable.
Most do, but if they are healthy and not causing issues, they can be monitored.

Straightforward cases: 2–3 days
Surgical/impacted cases: up to 1–2 weeks for full healing.

Cost depends on complexity and whether a specialist is involved.  Health fund rebates may apply.
