Say Goodbye to Painful Wisdom Teeth: Wisdom Tooth Removal at With U Dental
Wisdom teeth—the late bloomers of your dental lineup—often cause more trouble than they’re worth.
If yours are causing pain, crowding, or other issues, it might be time to consider wisdom tooth removal.
At With U Dental, we make this common procedure as comfortable and stress-free as possible, so you can say goodbye to pain and hello to a healthier, happier smile.
What is this treatment?
Wisdom tooth removal is a surgical procedure to extract one or more of your third molars—commonly known as wisdom teeth. These teeth are the last to emerge, usually between the ages of 17 and 25, and often there isn’t enough room in the mouth for them to come through properly. This can lead to a range of issues, including impaction, infection, and misalignment of other teeth.
At With U Dental, our goal is to make wisdom tooth removal a smooth and comfortable experience. We use the latest techniques and sedation options to ensure you’re as relaxed as possible during the procedure. Whether you need just one wisdom tooth removed or all four, we’ll take care of you every step of the way, from consultation to recovery.
Problems this treatment solves
Wisdom tooth removal can address several common dental issues, including:
- Impacted Teeth: When there isn’t enough space for wisdom teeth to emerge properly, they can become trapped (impacted) in the jaw, leading to pain and infection.
- Crowding: Wisdom teeth can push against your other teeth, causing crowding and misalignment. Removing them can help protect the alignment of your smile.
- Infection and Gum Disease: Partially erupted wisdom teeth can create a flap of gum tissue where bacteria can accumulate, leading to infections or gum disease. Removal helps eliminate this risk.
- Tooth Decay: Wisdom teeth are difficult to clean properly, making them more susceptible to decay. Extracting them can prevent cavities and further dental problems.
- Cysts or Tumours: Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to the development of cysts or, in rare cases, tumours. Removing the teeth helps prevent these complications.
How It’s Done in Steps
Here’s what you can expect during wisdom tooth removal at With U Dental:
- Initial Consultation: We begin with a thorough examination, including X-rays, to assess the position of your wisdom teeth and determine the best course of action.
- Anaesthesia and Sedation: To ensure you’re comfortable, we’ll discuss your anaesthesia and sedation options. Local anaesthesia is typically used, but we also offer general anaesthesia for more complex cases or for patients who prefer to be fully asleep.
- Extraction: Once you’re fully numbed, the procedure begins. We make a small incision in the gum tissue to access the tooth. If necessary, the tooth may be divided into smaller pieces for easier removal.
- Stitching and Gauze: After the tooth is removed, the site is cleaned, and we’ll place stitches to help with healing. Gauze is then placed over the extraction site to control bleeding.
- Post-Procedure Care: We’ll provide you with detailed instructions on how to care for your mouth following the extraction, including pain management, diet recommendations, and activity restrictions.
- Follow-Up: We’ll schedule a follow-up visit to check on your healing progress and remove any stitches if necessary.
Our thorough procedure ensures a safe, efficient and comfortable experience for you.

FAQS
How painful is wisdom tooth removal?
Thanks to modern anaesthesia and sedation options, the procedure itself is typically pain-free. You may experience some discomfort during recovery, but this can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relief and by following your aftercare instructions.
How long does it take to recover from wisdom tooth removal?
Most people recover from wisdom tooth removal within a week. However, it can take longer for the site to fully heal. We’ll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to help ensure a smooth recovery.
Do I need all my wisdom teeth removed?
Not everyone needs to have all their wisdom teeth removed. During your consultation, we’ll assess the position and health of each tooth to determine the best course of action for your individual situation.
