Wisdom teeth removal is one of the most common procedures at our Harley Street oral surgery clinic. Wisdom teeth typically emerge at the back of the mouth during adolescence or early adulthood. This late development can cause them to grow into an already crowded mouth, often at awkward angles or without fully emerging, which may require impacted wisdom tooth removal.
If you're experiencing discomfort from your wisdom teeth, we recommend visiting our Harley Street clinic for a thorough consultation.
Failing to have impacted wisdom teeth removed can lead to dental issues such as decay, gum disease, cellulitis, and abscesses. To avoid these complications, we advise scheduling an early appointment with our specialist for an examination, x-rays, and a personalised treatment plan at our London clinic.
An impacted wisdom tooth is one that cannot fully emerge due to obstruction from surrounding teeth. In these cases, removal is necessary and is typically performed under local anaesthesia by our highly skilled consultant oral surgeon, Mr. Anish Shah, at our Harley Street clinic in London.
Common symptoms of impacted wisdom teeth include swelling around the jaw, halitosis (bad breath), swollen or bleeding gums, headaches, or jaw pain. However, not all impacted wisdom teeth present symptoms, so regular checks and x-rays are essential.
During your initial consultation at our London clinic, Mr. Anish Shah, our experienced oral surgeon and General Dental Council (GDC) member, will assess whether wisdom teeth removal is necessary.
Unlike other clinics that may refer patients to hospitals for surgery, our Harley Street clinic is fully equipped to manage even impacted wisdom tooth extractions.
Wisdom tooth extractions are typically carried out under local anaesthesia, and for more nervous patients, sedation may be offered to ensure maximum comfort. Each procedure is tailored to the individual, with the approach depending on the complexity of the case.
Mr. Shah, a highly respected lecturer in oral surgery, will explain in detail what your wisdom teeth removal surgery involves, as well as the associated costs. For more information, please visit our wisdom teeth removal costs page.
As with any surgical procedure, wisdom tooth extraction or impacted wisdom tooth removal carries some potential risks, including numbness, jaw stiffness, and pain. While some discomfort is common following the procedure, over-the-counter painkillers typically provide effective relief.
At your pre-operative appointment, our Harley Street team will advise you on aftercare, such as avoiding rinsing the mouth for the first 12-24 hours and eating softer foods during the initial recovery period. It is crucial to preserve the blood clot in the tooth socket after the procedure.
If you experience any postoperative concerns related to your wisdom tooth extraction, please do not hesitate to contact our oral surgery team at 75 Harley Street, London.
