What is Extraction & Oral Surgery?
A simple extraction is done under local anaesthetic for erupted teeth, while impacted wisdom teeth need surgical extraction involving lifting the gum and sometimes sectioning the tooth. X-rays establish the relationship to the nerve and sinus beforehand.

Doctors who perform Extraction & Oral Surgery
Extraction & Oral Surgery: frequently asked questions
Do wisdom teeth always need removing?
No. They are removed when there is an indication such as recurrent infection, decay or pressure on adjacent teeth.
How long does swelling last?
Swelling usually peaks in the first two days then subsides gradually.
What is dry socket?
A painful condition where the clot is lost from the extraction site. Following the instructions makes it much less likely.
When can I return to work?
Often the same or next day after a simple extraction; a surgical extraction may need a few days.
