Wisdom teeth are the final set of molars that usually appear in early adulthood, typically somewhere between the ages of 17 and 25. Not everyone has issues with them, but when they don’t erupt properly, they often cause problems such as wisdom tooth impaction, infections, swollen or bleeding gums, and jaw difficulty. Because the tooth may not have enough space, it can press against existing teeth and nearby teeth, leading to tooth crowding or pressure that many people initially confuse with sinus pain or general jaw tenderness. In some cases, the tooth completely fails to erupt, increasing the risk of tooth decay, decay and gum disease, or irritation to the surrounding teeth and gum tissue.
Here in Melbourne, we see a lot of patients dealing with significant discomfort caused by impacted teeth, shifting of their existing teeth, or persistent bleeding gums. Early assessment with digital X-rays makes a world of difference, as it helps us determine how the lower jaw or upper jaw structures are affected and whether removing wisdom teeth early can prevent more complex dental procedures later on.

The cost of wisdom teeth removal varies depending on how many teeth need to be removed, the degree of impaction, and the type of anaesthetic you choose. Some extractions are quick and straightforward, while others might require a small removal procedure to access the affected area safely.

People often start to suspect their wisdom teeth are causing trouble when they begin looking up symptoms like jaw pain or a deep, nagging pressure toward the back of the mouth. But those aren't the only signs, and if you have wisdom tooth problems, it’s also common to notice:
Our Melbourne dentists use fast, low-radiation X-rays to check the exact position of the teeth and how close they are to surrounding teeth. This helps us understand whether the tooth can erupt properly or whether performing wisdom teeth extractions sooner will save you bigger issues down the track.
We understand that the idea of wisdom teeth surgery can feel a little daunting, which is why we make sure you know exactly what to expect before we begin. The process is straightforward, gentle, and tailored to your comfort from the moment you arrive.
Throughout the entire process, our Melbourne team uses modern tools and a gentle approach so your experience is as smooth and pain-free as possible.
Once your wisdom teeth are out, the recovery time is usually easier than most patients expect. Mild swelling or significant discomfort can appear during the first two or three days, but this typically settles quickly with pain relief and cold compresses. You’ll receive clear guidance on proper care, including when to return to solid foods, how to maintain good oral hygiene, and how to avoid dry socket by steering clear of straws, smoking, and vigorous rinsing.
Soft foods are ideal during the early stages while the gum tissue settles and the healing process gets underway. You’re always welcome to return for a review if the affected area doesn’t feel quite right. Most people recover comfortably within a week and are back into their routine soon after, even if they had multiple lower wisdom teeth or upper jaw extractions done at once.
For most patients, wisdom teeth removal is far more comfortable than expected. With modern anaesthetic and gentle techniques, you shouldn’t feel pain during the extraction itself, even if the tooth is impacted or close to nearby teeth.
Most people feel back to normal within a week, although the first couple of days are typically the most tender. Staying on top of good oral hygiene and following your aftercare instructions helps everything heal smoothly.
Costs vary depending on complexity, the number of teeth, and the anaesthetic used. You’ll receive a personalised quote during your consultation outlining the total cost.
Not everyone needs their wisdom teeth removed. If the teeth erupt properly, don’t affect surrounding teeth, and don’t contribute to tooth decay or decay and gum disease, monitoring them may be all that’s required.
Soft foods like yoghurt, mashed vegetables, soups, and smoothies are best until the affected area is healed enough to return to solid foods.
