At Shortland Dental Care we carry out a full range of oral surgical procedures.
We provide oral surgery procedures such as:
Simple extractions
Full surgical extractions
Root extractions
Removal of all teeth
Surgical extractions of impacted wisdom teeth
Before any surgery is carried out, all of the options will be thoroughly explained to you. For some patients with deeply impacted wisdom teeth, we may need to refer to our oral surgeon for treatment.
At Shortland Dental Care we can offer oral sedation for wisdom teeth removal or any procedures that you might be anxious about.
When wisdom teeth are healthy and erupted into good position there is no need to do anything.
If the jaw isn't large enough for the wisdom teeth they can become impacted, and they become unable to fully emerge this is usually an indication for their removal.
Generally, Wisdom teeth extractions are carried out under local anaesthetic and with some patients we may need to provide Oral Sedation.
