Wisdom Teeth Removal in East London
Wisdom teeth (third molars) often appear in the late teens or twenties and can cause problems if there is not enough space for them to come through properly. Advance Dental Care assesses and removes problematic wisdom teeth, using CBCT 3D imaging where appropriate to help plan treatment. Not every wisdom tooth needs to be removed.
When Wisdom Teeth Cause Problems
Wisdom teeth can become impacted (stuck partway through the gum), cause pain, infection or crowding, or be difficult to clean. When they cause recurrent problems, removal may be recommended. Some wisdom teeth come through normally and cause no issues and can be left in place with regular monitoring.
Assessment and Imaging
Before recommending removal, the dentist examines the teeth and may take x-rays or a CBCT 3D scan to see the position of the wisdom teeth and their relationship to nearby nerves and other structures. This helps plan a safe approach. CBCT is used where clinically appropriate.
The Removal Procedure
Where suitable, wisdom teeth are removed at the practice under local anaesthetic. The complexity depends on the position of the tooth. Some impacted teeth require a small surgical procedure. Your dentist will explain what is involved and what to expect during recovery before you decide.
After Removal
Some swelling and discomfort for a few days afterwards is normal. Your dentist gives clear aftercare instructions to support healing and reduce the risk of complications. A follow-up review helps ensure healing is progressing well.
