faqs
Is wisdom teeth removal painful?
We use local anaesthesia to numb the area during the extraction, so you won’t feel any pain. You may experience some discomfort after the anaesthesia wears off, but this can be managed with pain medication.
Do I need to have all four wisdom teeth removed at once?
Not necessarily. The number of wisdom teeth removed at once depends on your individual needs and the position of your teeth. We’ll discuss the best approach with you during your consultation.
