- Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to develop and commonly appear between the ages of 17 and 25. While some wisdom teeth grow normally and never cause problems, many become impacted or difficult to clean, leading to pain, infection and damage to neighbouring teeth.
At Morris Dental we provide wisdom tooth assessment and removal with a focus on careful planning, patient comfort and clear communication throughout the process. Treatment options range from simple extractions through to more complex surgical wisdom tooth removal depending on the position of the teeth and surrounding structures.
Wisdom teeth do not always cause obvious symptoms immediately. Common signs that wisdom teeth may need assessment include:
In some cases wisdom teeth can cause damage without noticeable symptoms, which is why routine examination and x-rays are important.
For most people, wisdom teeth should be assessed during the late teenage years or early twenties. At this stage the roots are often not fully formed, which can make treatment simpler and healing faster if removal is required.
Not all wisdom teeth need to be removed. Our approach is to carefully evaluate each case and recommend treatment only when there is a clear long term benefit to your oral health.
Morris Dental is pleased to offer professional wisdom tooth and complex extraction treatment with Dr Saniyya Najee BDS (Adel), PGDipClinDent (Oral Surgery), FRACDS. Dr Najee has over 24 years of clinical experience and completed postgraduate training in Oral Surgery including hospital-based surgical training at Dunedin Hospital in New Zealand.
She has a strong interest in wisdom teeth and complex extractions, with a focus on careful treatment planning, patient comfort and high quality surgical care.
