Frequently Asked Questions
The procedure is done under local anaesthesia, so you should feel pressure but not sharp pain. Most patients are surprised at how comfortable tooth extraction can be. Post-operative discomfort is managed with standard pain relief.
Most patients feel comfortable within 2–3 days. Complete healing of the socket takes 1–2 weeks. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
Not always. Wisdom teeth that grow in properly and don't cause problems may not need removal. However, impacted wisdom teeth that cause pain, infection, or affect adjacent teeth usually need to be extracted.
Avoid rinsing vigorously, smoking, or drinking through a straw for 24 hours. Eat soft foods, keep the area clean, and take prescribed medications. Contact us immediately if you experience excessive bleeding or swelling.
