Jaw and wisdom toothDo you have problematic wisdom teeth that are causing you pain, inflammation, or infection? If so, it may be time to consider wisdom teeth removal.

Here at TC Smiles, we offer professional and personalised wisdom teeth removal services for patients in Tweed Heads and the surrounding areas.

Why Remove Wisdom Teeth?

The majority of people have wisdom teeth, but not all of them are problematic. However, some people experience issues with their wisdom teeth. This is because they could be growing sideways, backwards, or getting regulsar infections caused by bacteria. In such cases, removal may be necessary.

Assessment and Treatment Options

In the practice, we begin by examining the severity of the issue, including the frequency and intensity of the pain, the presence of swelling or infection, and other factors to determine the best course of action. Depending on the case, wisdom teeth can be removed easily in the chair or may require surgical intervention.

X-rays are essential for wisdom teeth removal to ensure a clear view of the tooth’s position. We may take panoramic or 3D X-rays to get a comprehensive view of the tooth’s position, enabling us to identify any potential red flags or refer the patient to a specialist.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I need general anesthesia or a referral to a specialist?

The answer depends on your case. Some cases may require general anesthesia or a referral to a specialist, while others can be done in the chair.

What are the side effects and complications of wisdom teeth removal?

Common side effects include bruising, swelling, soreness, and the need for sutures. Recovery time varies, but patients can expect a week to two weeks for full recovery.

How much does wisdom teeth removal cost?

We prefer to discuss cost in person during the consultation, as it can vary depending on the case and treatment plan.
