Wisdom Teeth Removal in West Ryde – Gentle And Affordable Dental care

If you are looking for a gentle dentist to provide wisdom teeth removal in West Ryde then we would like to formally welcome you to myDentist West Ryde. Dr Isaac Suh is known for his caring manner and gentle dentistry. With over 9 years of experience, patients are guaranteed compassionate care in a modern state-of-the-art facility.

Known as ‘third molars’, wisdom teeth usually develop between the ages of 17 and 25 but although they serve no purpose, they can and often do cause problems later on in life. Often when wisdom teeth erupt they do so in an irregular fashion causing problems to adjacent teeth. This is the reason why so many people undergo wisdom tooth extractions.

West Ryde patients, however, should know that in truth, the process isn’t as painful as it sounds and in fact the vast majority of wisdom teeth extractions are carried out chairside under a local anaesthetic. Moreover, people function quite normally without their wisdom teeth, so removal shouldn’t cause any future problems.

Here at myDentist West Ryde, Dr Suh will always evaluate every condition and will make a decision whether wisdom teeth removal here in West Ryde is absolutely necessary.

If it’s thought that wisdom teeth surgery in West Ryde is the best course of action then here is what to expect.

Wisdom Teeth Removal Procedure

Here at myDentist West Ryde Dr Suh will take the time to explain the procedure thoroughly answering any questions or concerns you may have. Once you are happy with how the tooth extraction procedure works we will proceed with the next stage.

Anaesthetic

Before any wisdom teeth surgery in West Ryde takes place, our team will give you a local anaesthetic to numb the tooth and surrounding area. If you are an anxious patient, then Dr Suh will ensure you are fully relaxed and comfortable before beginning.

If the tooth hasn’t appeared through the gum a tiny incision will be made in the gum in order to access the tooth. If the tooth has already broken through the gum then cutting into the gum might not be necessary.

Next, the tooth is carefully and skilfully removed using a gentle rocking action. Patients may feel slight pressure as the tooth is being removed but Dr Suh’s brand of gentle dentistry should ensure that West Ryde patients don’t feel any discomfort. In many cases, the procedure is over in just a few minutes but in others, it can take longer.

Wisdom tooth extractions in West Ryde

If an incision has been made, our dentist will apply some self-dissolving stitches to the area. Alternatively, if no incision is necessary, gauze will be placed over the extraction site. You will then be asked to bite down on it for a period of time to allow a blood clot to form. This is a vital part of the healing process.

Once the wisdom tooth removal in West Ryde has been completed, we’ll give you some extensive care instructions and you’ll be good to go. In case you do feel discomfort after the event, we may recommend over-the-counter medications.

As you can see, wisdom teeth removal in West Ryde isn’t as bad as it sounds and is a fairly common procedure that may save you years of discomfort later on in life.
