Wisdom Teeth Removal - Safe & Effective Extraction
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, often cause issues when they fail to emerge properly or become impacted. If there isn’t enough space in the jaw, these teeth may become trapped beneath the gums, grow at awkward angles, or crowd surrounding teeth. This can lead to pain, infection, decay, and other oral health problems. For these reasons, dentists often recommend their removal. At Western OMS, Dr Franc Henze offers safe and effective wisdom teeth extractions to help prevent crowding, infection, and long-term dental complications.
Why Remove Wisdom Teeth?
- Prevent Overcrowding: Wisdom teeth can push other teeth out of alignment, leading to crooked teeth and bite issues
- Avoid Infections: Partially erupted wisdom teeth are prone to bacterial infections
- Stop Cyst Formation: Impacted teeth can lead to cysts, which may damage surrounding bone and teeth
The Wisdom Teeth Removal Procedure
Dr Henze performs wisdom teeth extractions under general anaesthesia for patient comfort and safety. The procedure includes:
- Consultation and Imaging: A thorough examination and x-rays are used to assess the position and condition of the wisdom teeth
- Extraction: The surgery is performed under general anaesthesia at one of our trusted hospital locations
- Post-Extraction Care: After the procedure, patients receive detailed aftercare instructions to support a smooth and healthy recovery
Post-Operative Care
Most patients experience mild swelling and discomfort in the days following surgery. This typically improves within a few days. Dr Henze and the Western OMS team will guide you through the recovery process and provide support to ensure proper healing.
