Impacted wisdom tooth removal
An impacted wisdom tooth that is causing pain, infection or damage to neighbouring teeth is removed with precision, guided by 3D imaging that maps its exact position before surgery.
OVERVIEW
Resolving pain from teeth that can't emerge properly
Wisdom teeth that are impacted angled, buried, or blocked by other teeth can cause recurring pain, infection, or pressure damage to the teeth beside them.
A 3D scan shows exactly how the tooth sits in relation to nerves and neighbouring roots, so the procedure is planned precisely and any risk is minimised before the day of surgery.
- Relief from recurring pain, swelling or infection
- Protection of neighbouring teeth from further damage
- A precise, imaging-guided approach to a complex tooth
IS IT RIGHT FOR YOU?
You may be a candidate if…
A wisdom tooth is repeatedly painful, swollen or infected.
- It is impacted, angled, or only partly emerged
- It is damaging or crowding the tooth next to it
- You have been advised to have it removed
“A wisdom tooth doesn’t need to be difficult if it’s understood properly first. A good scan tells me almost everything before I even begin.”
— Mr Nabeel Bhatti
THE PROCESS
How your treatment unfolds
01
Consultation & imaging
A 3D scan maps the tooth's exact position and its nearby nerves.
02
Surgical planning
The safest extraction route is planned around your own anatomy.
03
The removal
Performed under local anaesthetic or sedation, with precise technique.
04
Recovery & review
A follow-up check confirms the site is healing as expected.
RECOVERY & OUTCOMES
What to expect afterwards
The first days
Some swelling and jaw stiffness, managed with simple painkillers.
The first weeks
Swelling settles and normal eating gradually resumes.
Longer term
The gum and bone fully remodel over several months.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Impacted Wisdom Tooth Removal, answered
Do all impacted wisdom teeth need removing?
No. Removal is recommended when a tooth causes pain, infection, or damage to nearby teeth. If symptom-free, monitoring may suffice — Mr Bhatti will advise honestly either way.
Will I be awake during the procedure?
Under local anaesthetic you remain awake but numb; sedation or general anaesthetic are also available if preferred.
How swollen will I be afterwards?
Swelling typically peaks around day two to three, then steadily settles over the following week.
