Wisdom Teeth Removal in Noosa
Wisdom teeth (third molars) typically erupt in late teens or early twenties. In many cases, there isn't enough space, which can lead to impaction, pain, and infection. Morton Dental offers gentle wisdom tooth removal tailored to your needs.
Gentle Surgical Removal
We’ll evaluate your wisdom teeth using digital X-rays to determine whether removal is necessary. The procedure is usually done in-office using local anaesthesia or sedation for your comfort.
Post-operative instructions and care are provided to ensure a smooth recovery process.
Symptoms of Impacted Wisdom Teeth
- Jaw pain or swelling
- Difficulty opening your mouth
- Red or swollen gums
- Recurring infections or bad breath
What to Expect After Surgery
- Mild discomfort and swelling for 2–3 days
- Follow soft food diet temporarily
- Take prescribed medications as directed
- Keep area clean with gentle rinsing
Frequently Asked Questions
Do all wisdom teeth need removal?
Not always. If they’re healthy, fully erupted and not causing problems, removal may not be necessary. We’ll assess with X-rays first.
How long is the recovery process?
Most people feel comfortable within 3–5 days. Swelling usually peaks around day 2. Follow all after-care instructions for a smooth recovery.
Can I go to work the next day?
Plan to rest for 1–2 days. If your job is physically demanding or involves talking all day, allow extra time off as recommended by your dentist.
Do you offer sedation for anxious patients?
Yes. We provide local anaesthetic plus optional oral or IV sedation for nervous patients. Let us know your concerns so we can help.
