Considering wisdom teeth removal? You're not alone. Many patients have questions about this common dental procedure. At London Dental Specialists, we understand your concerns about pain, recovery time, and whether removal is truly necessary. Wisdom teeth often cause problems when they emerge improperly, become impacted, or create crowding. While the procedure itself shouldn't be painful thanks to proper anaesthesia, recovery typically takes one to two weeks, with most patients returning to normal activities within 3-5 days. Minor side effects like swelling and bruising are common, but serious complications are rare. Our experienced oral surgeons provide personalised care throughout your journey, from initial consultation through complete recovery, ensuring your comfort and addressing all concerns along the way.
Wisdom tooth removal at London Dental Specialists is performed under appropriate anaesthesia, ensuring you won't feel pain during the procedure. Our specialists use local anaesthesia to numb the area completely before surgery begins. Some patients may experience pressure sensations, but this shouldn't be painful. If you do feel any discomfort during the procedure, our dental surgeons will immediately provide additional anaesthesia. For anxious patients, we also offer sedation options to make the experience more comfortable. After surgery, mild to moderate discomfort is normal and can be managed with prescribed pain medication.
The complete recovery time after wisdom teeth removal typically takes one to two weeks. However, most patients can return to work, school and normal daily activities within three to five days. During the first 24-48 hours, you may experience swelling and discomfort, which gradually subsides. Following our post-operative care instructions carefully will help ensure a smooth recovery. These include:
Wisdom tooth removal becomes necessary when these teeth cause problems or are likely to cause issues in the future. At London Dental Specialists, we recommend extraction in several specific situations:
We perform thorough examinations and use advanced imaging to determine if removal is truly necessary for each individual case.
Most patients experience some temporary side effects after wisdom teeth removal, which typically resolve within a week. Common side effects include:
Less common complications might include dry socket (when the blood clot dislodges), infection, or prolonged numbness. At London Dental Specialists, our careful surgical techniques and detailed aftercare instructions help minimise these risks.
After wisdom teeth removal, it's important to follow a soft food diet for several days. We recommend:
Avoid hard, crunchy, spicy, or acidic foods that might irritate the surgical sites. Also avoid using straws, as the suction can dislodge blood clots and lead to dry socket.
To prepare for wisdom teeth removal at London Dental Specialists, we recommend the following steps:
Following these preparations will help ensure a smooth procedure and recovery.
No, you cannot drive yourself home after wisdom teeth removal if you've received sedation or general anaesthesia. The effects of these medications impair your reflexes and judgment, making driving unsafe. At London Dental Specialists, we require patients who receive sedation to arrange for a responsible adult to accompany them home. Even with local anaesthesia only, we generally recommend having someone drive you home, as you may experience discomfort or the effects of pain medication. You should also avoid driving for at least 24 hours after the procedure.
The cost of wisdom teeth removal at London Dental Specialists varies depending on several factors, including the complexity of the extraction, the number of teeth being removed, and the type of anaesthesia used. Simple extractions typically cost less than surgical extractions of impacted teeth. During your initial consultation, we provide a detailed treatment plan with transparent pricing. We also offer various payment options and plans to make treatment more accessible. For the most accurate pricing information, we recommend scheduling a consultation where we can assess your specific needs and provide a personalised quote.
