What are Wisdom Teeth Removal?

Wisdom teeth removal is a surgical procedure to extract one or more wisdom teeth—the four permanent adult teeth located at the back corners of your mouth, top and bottom. These third molars often become impacted because they don't have enough room to emerge or develop normally, causing pain, infection, damage to adjacent teeth, or other dental problems. The procedure is typically performed by a dentist or oral surgeon under local anaesthesia, sedation, or general anaesthesia, depending on the complexity of the extraction. Recovery usually takes one to two weeks, with most people able to resume normal activities within three to five days, though patients may experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort during this period. Wisdom teeth are generally only removed when they cause problems or are likely to do so in the future.

Conditions We Treat With Wisdom Teeth Removal

London Dental Specialists treats multiple conditions with Wisdom Teeth Removal in Globe Town, helping patients with conditions that respond well to this treatment. We examine your specific situation to determine if Wisdom Teeth Removal is suitable. Our team provides honest expectations about how Wisdom Teeth Removal can help your condition.


  • Impacted Wisdom Teeth - We provide surgical removal of wisdom teeth that are trapped beneath the gum line or growing at an angle, preventing proper eruption and potentially causing pain, infection, and damage to adjacent teeth.

  • Pericoronitis - We treat this painful inflammation of gum tissue surrounding partially erupted wisdom teeth through extraction, preventing recurrent infections and discomfort.

  • Dental Crowding - We remove wisdom teeth that are causing or may cause overcrowding of other teeth, which can affect your dental alignment and potentially undo previous orthodontic work.

  • Tooth Decay in Wisdom Teeth - We extract wisdom teeth that have developed cavities which are difficult to treat due to their position at the back of the mouth.

  • Cysts and Tumours - We remove wisdom teeth that have developed cysts or benign tumours in the surrounding tissues, preventing potential damage to the jawbone and adjacent teeth.

  • Recurrent Infections - We provide extraction for wisdom teeth that cause repeated infections in the surrounding gum tissue, eliminating the source of infection.

  • Gum Disease - We remove wisdom teeth that contribute to periodontal problems due to their difficult-to-clean position, helping to maintain overall oral health.

  • Pain and Discomfort - We extract wisdom teeth that are causing persistent pain or discomfort that cannot be managed with conservative treatments.

  • Preventative Removal - We offer extraction of wisdom teeth that show signs of future complications based on dental imaging and professional assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How painful is wisdom tooth removal at London Dental Specialists?


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.



What is the typical recovery time after wisdom teeth removal?


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:



  • Applying ice packs to reduce swelling

  • Taking prescribed medications as directed

  • Avoiding strenuous physical activity for at least 72 hours

  • Following a soft food diet for several days

  • Maintaining gentle but thorough oral hygiene



When is wisdom tooth removal necessary?


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:



  • When wisdom teeth are impacted (unable to emerge properly)

  • When there isn't enough space in the jaw for proper eruption

  • When wisdom teeth emerge at awkward angles, causing crowding

  • When they cause pain, infection, or damage to adjacent teeth

  • When they contribute to gum disease or tooth decay that can't be treated

  • When cysts or tumours form around impacted wisdom teeth


We perform thorough examinations and use advanced imaging to determine if removal is truly necessary for each individual case.



What are the potential side effects of wisdom teeth removal?


Most patients experience some temporary side effects after wisdom teeth removal, which typically resolve within a week. Common side effects include:



  • Swelling of the cheeks and face

  • Mild to moderate pain or discomfort

  • Some bleeding for the first 24 hours

  • Bruising of the cheek

  • Stiffness of the jaw

  • Temporary numbness (usually resolves within a few days to weeks)


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.



What should I eat after wisdom teeth removal?


After wisdom teeth removal, it's important to follow a soft food diet for several days. We recommend:



  • Cool, soft foods like yoghurt, pudding, and ice cream for the first 24 hours

  • Lukewarm soups (not hot) and broths

  • Mashed potatoes and other soft vegetables

  • Scrambled eggs

  • Pasta and well-cooked rice

  • Smoothies (consumed with a spoon, not a straw)

  • Applesauce and other pureed fruits


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.



How should I prepare for wisdom teeth removal at London Dental Specialists?


To prepare for wisdom teeth removal at London Dental Specialists, we recommend the following steps:



  • Attend a pre-surgical consultation where we'll explain the procedure and answer questions

  • Arrange for someone to accompany you home after surgery if sedation is used

  • Fast for at least 6 hours before surgery if receiving sedation

  • Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing on the day of surgery

  • Remove jewellery, contact lenses, and makeup before arriving

  • Stock up on soft foods, ice packs, and prescribed medications beforehand

  • Inform us about any medications you're taking and any medical conditions


Following these preparations will help ensure a smooth procedure and recovery.



Can I drive myself home after wisdom teeth removal?


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.



How much does wisdom teeth removal cost at London Dental Specialists?


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.
