Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last teeth to emerge, often causing issues when they don’t have enough space to grow properly. This can lead to impaction, where the teeth become trapped in the jaw or gums, causing pain, swelling, and sometimes infection. Wisdom teeth extraction is a common procedure designed to prevent or alleviate these problems, improving your overall oral health. At Glow Dentistry, our team of experts is skilled in providing gentle, effective wisdom teeth extractions to ensure a smooth and comfortable experience.
At Glow Dentistry, we are equipped to diagnose and treat jaw pathology and cysts, ensuring your oral health is well cared for. Jaw cysts are fluid-filled sacs that can form within the bone or soft tissues of the jaw, often developing due to infection, trauma or impacted teeth. Our skilled team at Glow Dentistry provides expert care in identifying and managing these issues, using advanced diagnostic tools and tailored surgical solutions to remove cysts and restore your oral health. With a focus on precision and patient comfort, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
At Glow Dentistry, we offer immediate implants to help you restore your smile quickly and effectively after a tooth extraction. This procedure involves placing a dental implant directly into the extraction site during the same appointment, minimizing the time you spend without a tooth and reducing the overall treatment timeline. Immediate implants help preserve the surrounding bone, prevent further tooth movement, and offer a more aesthetically pleasing result.

At Glow Dentistry, wisdom teeth removal is a routine procedure designed to alleviate discomfort and prevent future oral health issues. Here’s what you can expect during the process:
Consultation and Examination: Before the extraction, your dentist will perform a thorough examination of your teeth and gums, often using X-rays to assess the condition of the tooth and surrounding areas. This helps determine the best approach for the extraction.
Anesthesia: To ensure your comfort, local anesthesia will be administered to numb the area around the tooth. If necessary, additional sedation options may be available, especially for complex extractions or patients with anxiety.
Tooth Removal: Once the area is numb, the dentist will begin the extraction. For a simple extraction, the tooth is loosened using specialized instruments, and then carefully removed. In the case of a surgical extraction (such as for impacted teeth), a small incision is made in the gum, and the tooth may be removed in sections.
Post-Extraction Care: After the tooth is removed, the dentist will clean the area, possibly placing stitches if necessary to help with healing. You’ll be given instructions on how to care for the extraction site, including maintaining oral hygiene and dietary recommendations.
Recovery: Most patients recover fully within a few days. Following your dentist’s aftercare instructions will help ensure a smooth healing process, and any discomfort can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
Where prices are preceded by a ‘from’ this indicates the minimum price for a course of treatment. Individual treatment plans may cost more. We promise there will be no surprise increases: the price quoted at your initial consultation or Healthy Mouth Assessment will be the price charged for the course of treatment.
At Glow Dentistry, we gladly accept referrals for oral surgery from general dentists and healthcare providers. Our team of skilled oral surgeons offers a range of specialised treatments, from extractions and wisdom teeth removal to complex procedures like jaw pathology treatments.
We collaborate closely with referring practitioners to ensure a smooth and seamless experience for patients, providing expert care in a comfortable and supportive environment. If you’re a dental professional seeking a trusted partner for your patients’ oral surgery needs, Glow Dentistry is here to provide exceptional, personalised care.
No, tooth extractions are not typically painful. At Glow Dentistry, we use local anesthesia to numb the area, ensuring you feel no pain during the procedure. You may experience mild discomfort afterward, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief and following post-care instructions.
Recovery time varies, but most people start feeling better within a few days. Full healing typically takes 1 to 2 weeks. Following aftercare instructions, such as resting and eating soft foods, will help speed up recovery.
Soft foods are recommended for the first few days after an extraction. These may include smoothies, soups, yogurt, and mashed vegetables. Avoid hard, crunchy, or hot foods that could irritate the extraction site.
Oral surgery may be needed for impacted teeth, jaw cysts, nerve repair, or other complex dental conditions that go beyond routine extractions. Our specialists at Glow Dentistry will determine if surgery is necessary based on your specific case.
After oral surgery, you may experience some swelling and discomfort, which can be managed with pain relief and ice packs. You’ll be given specific aftercare instructions to promote healing and minimize any complications. Most patients can return to normal activities within a few days.
As with any procedure, there are potential risks such as infection, dry socket (in the case of extractions), or delayed healing. At Glow Dentistry, we minimise these risks by following strict protocols and providing you with comprehensive aftercare instructions.
Yes, we offer sedation options for patients who are anxious or undergoing more complex oral surgeries. This ensures you remain calm and comfortable throughout the procedure.
If you experience severe pain, infection, or a dental issue that cannot be resolved with regular treatment, our experts at Glow Dentistry will assess your situation and determine if extraction or oral surgery is the best course of action.
