Wisdom Teeth Removal Treatment Procedures

At London Dental Specialists, our wisdom teeth removal procedures are carried out with precision and care, ensuring the best possible outcome for each patient. Our expert oral surgeons utilise advanced techniques to make the extraction process as smooth and comfortable as possible.

Pre-Procedure Preparation

• Anaesthesia Administration: Based on your personalised treatment plan, we administer the appropriate anaesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.


• Surgical Site Preparation: The area around your wisdom teeth is thoroughly cleaned and sterilised to minimise the risk of infection.

Extraction Techniques

Our surgeons employ various techniques depending on the position and condition of your wisdom teeth:

• Simple Extraction: For fully erupted wisdom teeth, we may use forceps to gently remove the tooth.


• Surgical Extraction: For impacted or partially erupted teeth, we make a small incision in the gum to access and remove the tooth.


• Sectioning: In some cases, we may need to divide the tooth into sections for easier removal, minimising impact on surrounding tissues.

Advanced Technology in Wisdom Teeth Removal

We utilise cutting-edge technology to enhance the precision and efficiency of the procedure:

• 3D Imaging: Allows for precise planning and execution of the extraction.


• Piezoelectric Devices: These instruments can cut through bone with minimal damage to soft tissues.


• Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: In some cases, we may use PRP to promote faster healing post-extraction.

Post-Extraction Care

Immediately following the extraction, we take several steps to promote healing:

• Wound Closure: We may use dissolvable stitches to close the extraction site if necessary.


• Gauze Application: We place sterile gauze over the extraction site to control bleeding and aid clot formation.


• Ice Pack Provision: We provide ice packs to help reduce swelling in the immediate post-operative period.

Patient Monitoring and Support

Our care extends beyond the procedure itself:

• Recovery Observation: We monitor you closely as you come out of anaesthesia.


• Detailed Instructions: We provide comprehensive post-operative care instructions, including pain management and oral hygiene guidance.


• Follow-up Appointments: We schedule check-ups to ensure proper healing and address any concerns.

At London Dental Specialists, our wisdom teeth removal procedures are designed to provide optimal results with minimal discomfort. Our experienced team is committed to ensuring your experience is as smooth and stress-free as possible, from the moment you enter our clinic to your full recovery.

Post Wisdom Teeth Removal Treatment Care

Proper aftercare is essential for successful healing following wisdom teeth removal at London Dental Specialists. Our comprehensive post-treatment care ensures you recover quickly and comfortably while minimising potential complications.

Immediate Aftercare (First 24 Hours)

• Bleeding Management: Bite gently on the gauze pads provided for about 30-45 minutes after surgery to help form blood clots.


• Swelling Reduction: Apply ice packs to the outside of your face in 20-minute intervals to minimise swelling.


• Rest Requirements: Plan to rest for at least 24 hours, avoiding strenuous activities that might dislodge blood clots.


• Medication Schedule: Take prescribed pain relief and antibiotics exactly as directed by your dental surgeon.

Diet and Oral Hygiene

Following wisdom teeth removal, your diet and cleaning routine require special attention:

• Soft Food Diet: Consume only soft foods like yoghurt, mashed potatoes, and smoothies for the first few days.


• Hydration: Drink plenty of water but avoid using straws as the suction can dislodge blood clots and cause dry socket.


• Gentle Cleaning: Resume brushing teeth the day after surgery, being careful around the extraction sites.


• Salt Water Rinses: Begin gentle salt water rinses 24 hours after surgery to keep the area clean and promote healing.

Managing Common Post-Operative Symptoms

Follow-Up Care

• Scheduled Check-ups: Attend all follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing.


• Stitch Removal: If non-dissolving stitches were used, we'll remove them at your follow-up appointment.


• Healing Timeline: Most patients return to normal activities within 3-5 days, with complete healing taking 1-2 weeks.


• 24/7 Support: Our team remains available to address any concerns during your recovery period.
