Are you experiencing discomfort or pain in the back of your mouth? Your wisdom teeth may be the problem. Wisdom teeth can be a real pain, especially when they grow in awkward positions. If you’re experiencing discomfort because of your wisdom teeth, we are here to help you.
At Denticine, we’re ready to tackle these issues head-on. Our highly skilled team of dental professionals will perform safe surgical removal of your wisdom teeth to ensure your comfort.
When to Remove Wisdom Teeth?
Impaction
Wisdom teeth often lack sufficient space to properly emerge, leading to the need for wisdom teeth extraction. As a result, they may become impacted— trapped beneath the gum line or within the jawbone. This means they can’t grow well. Impacted wisdom teeth can cause pain, swelling, and discomfort.
Misalignment
Sometimes your wisdom teeth can grow at an angle or in a direction that isn’t aligned with the other teeth, which makes tooth extraction necessary. This misalignment can lead to overcrowding and shifting of the surrounding teeth. As a result, it can affect your bite.
Wisdom teeth that grow in misaligned positions can also push against neighbouring teeth. This can cause damage to your roots or lead to the development of cavities. Removing the wisdom teeth can stop potential harm to adjacent teeth and undo expensive orthodontic treatment previously undertaken.
Infections
When wisdom teeth partially erupt or become impacted, they create pockets where bacteria can accumulate. This can lead to gum inflammation and infections such as pericoronitis. Experiencing infections and inflammation can cause pain, swelling, and difficulty in opening your mouth.
Cysts and Tumours
In some rare cases, wisdom teeth can develop cysts or tumours within the jawbone. These growths can be painful. What’s more, they may cause damage to the jawbone and neighbouring teeth if left untreated.
Wisdom Teeth Removal Process
Step 1: Consultation and Examination
Our wisdom tooth removal in Brisbane starts with an initial consultation. We’ll evaluate your wisdom teeth using advanced diagnostic tools and techniques. This examination allows us to assess the condition of your wisdom teeth and determine if extraction is necessary.
Step 2: Preparation and Anesthesia
Before your wisdom teeth removal procedure, our oral surgeon will explain the process in detail. We will discuss anaesthesia options to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
Step 3: Surgical Removal
Once you’re anaesthetised, our oral surgeon will begin the surgical removal of your wisdom teeth. Using advanced techniques and tools, we will carefully extract the teeth. Our surgical expertise and gentle technique will ensure minimal discomfort and trauma without dry sockets or a long recovery.
Step 4: Post-Operative Care and Follow-Up
After the procedure, our team will provide you with detailed post-operative instructions. This will help promote proper healing and reduce discomfort. We will contact you the day after your surgery and you will have access to our oral surgeon after hours at all times to monitor your recovery. Our goal is to ensure a smooth and complication-free healing process.

Wisdom Teeth Removal FAQs
How Much Does Wisdom Tooth Removal Cost?
If your wisdom tooth can be fairly seen from the outside, our oral surgeon can remove it through a simple extraction. The wisdom teeth removal cost in Brisbane, through a simple extraction, can cost approximately $450-$550 per tooth.
However, for a complex wisdom tooth case – such as impaction– you may need surgical removal of the tooth. This can cost you more. To get a precise estimate tailored to your specific needs, schedule a consultation with our oral surgeon.
During this appointment, we will discuss the cost of wisdom tooth removal. We also offer interest-free financing options to help you fit the payments into your budget.
What Is the Wisdom Teeth Removal Process?
Our wisdom teeth removal process begins with a detailed consultation and examination. After assessing your situation, we will discuss your anaesthetic options, including whether a local or general anaesthetic is most appropriate for having your wisdom teeth removed. The actual removal of wisdom teeth is performed using advanced surgical techniques to minimise discomfort. Post-operative care is a crucial part of our process. We provide comprehensive instructions and follow-up to ensure a smooth recovery.
Is Wisdom Teeth Removal Painful?
Our priority at Denticine is to make your experience as pain-free as possible.

Recovery time varies from patient to patient. Most individuals start to feel better within a few days. It is important to follow the post-operative care instructions given by our dental team. This ensures a swift and smooth recovery. We offer follow-up appointments to check on your healing process.
Can I Eat Normally After My Wisdom Teeth Are Removed?
Immediately following your surgery, it’s best to stick to a diet of soft foods to avoid discomfort, for the first few days. You should be able to eat foods with the consistency of a kids sized cheeseburger immediately after surgery. Gradually, as you heal, you can reintroduce more solid foods. Our team will provide you with a detailed list of recommended foods post-surgery.
How Do I Know If My Wisdom Teeth Need to Be Removed?
Common indicators that your wisdom teeth may need to be removed include pain and discomfort in the back of your mouth. It may include swelling, difficulty biting or chewing, and recurrent infections. An examination and/or an OPG x-ray will determine if your wisdom teeth should be removed.
Will I Be Awake During Wisdom Teeth Removal Surgery?
This depends on the type of anaesthesia you choose. Some patients prefer to stay awake during the procedure under local anaesthesia. Others may opt for sedation with a general anaesthetic to sleep through their wisdom teeth extraction process. Our oral and maxillofacial surgeons will discuss the best anaesthesia options for you, including local or general anaesthetic, during your consultation for wisdom teeth extraction.
