About Wisdom Tooth Extractions
at Mickleham Dental
Wisdom teeth don’t always grow the way they should—and when they become impacted, painful, or cause crowding, removal might be the best option. At Mickleham Dental, we offer gentle, stress-free wisdom tooth extractions in a calm and caring environment. Our experienced team will walk you through the process, answer all your questions, and make sure you’re comfortable every step of the way. If your wisdom teeth are causing discomfort or concern, we’re here to help you feel better, sooner.
What are Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth typically emerge between the ages of 17 and 25, but for many people, there simply isn’t enough room in the jaw to accommodate them. When this happens, the teeth may become impacted, meaning they are unable to fully break through the gums or they grow in at an angle, pressing against other teeth. This can lead to a range of uncomfortable symptoms, including pain, swelling, jaw stiffness, gum tenderness, and in some cases, infections or damage to neighbouring teeth.
Whether your wisdom teeth are already causing discomfort or you’ve been told they may create problems in the future, we’re here to help. With a focus on comfort, safety, and personalised care, Mickleham Dental offers wisdom tooth extractions tailored to your need, so you can protect your oral health and enjoy lasting relief.
When Would You Need a Wisdom Tooth Extraction?
Not everyone needs their wisdom teeth removed, but extraction is often recommended when these back molars start to cause problems. Wisdom tooth removal is often recommended when these back molars become impacted, grow at an angle, or begin causing discomfort. You may not always feel symptoms right away, but when problems do arise, they can affect your overall oral health and comfort.
Common signs you may need a wisdom tooth extraction include:
- Pain or pressure at the back of the mouth
- Swollen, red, or tender gums around the wisdom tooth area
- Jaw stiffness or difficulty opening your mouth
- Persistent bad breath or an unpleasant taste
- Signs of infection, such as pus or swelling
- Headaches or earaches linked to tooth pressure
- Crowding or shifting of nearby teeth
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, we encourage you to book a consultation. We’re here to help you feel comfortable, informed, and supported every step of the way.

Comprehensive Assessment
Your journey begins with a detailed examination, including high-quality x-rays. This helps us carefully assess the exact position of your wisdom teeth, the shape and length of their roots, and the condition of the surrounding bone and tissues. This thorough evaluation allows us to plan the safest and most effective treatment for your unique needs.Clear, Personalised Treatment Planning
We believe that understanding your options is key to feeling confident about your care. Our dentists will take the time to explain the recommended treatment, whether that’s a straightforward extraction or additional restorative options like dental implants, bridges, or dentures if needed. We’ll answer all your questions so you feel informed every step of the way.Gentle, Comfortable Extractions
When it’s time for your procedure, we prioritise your comfort. Using local anaesthesia, we ensure the area is fully numb so you won’t feel pain during the extraction. Our experienced team uses gentle techniques to minimise discomfort and support a smooth recovery.
