A guide to the treatment
Wisdom tooth removal,
One appointment for a straightforward removal, a plain account of the days that follow, and the fee confirmed before anything proceeds.
A wisdom tooth is typically removed in a single visit, though a genuinely complex case may run longer or end in referral. What follows carries equal weight to the procedure itself: swelling and jaw stiffness for several days is ordinary, its exact length varying by person and by tooth. Protecting the area, what to eat and when normal activity resumes are set out in specific terms. The fee is confirmed before the appointment proceeds.

Wisdom tooth removal
A single visit, in most cases
A straightforward wisdom tooth concludes in one appointment. A demanding position may require more time, or referral, flagged in advance.
Recovery, described honestly
The swelling and stiffness pattern typical of the specific tooth is set out plainly, rather than reduced to a fixed timeline.
The fee, settled first
The cost is confirmed before the procedure begins, nothing added once treatment is underway.
How it happens
One appointment for a straightforward removal, a plain account of the days that follow, and the fee confirmed before anything proceeds.
Assess and schedule
Position is confirmed, an X-ray typically included, before a time is set.
Remove
The tooth is taken out under local anaesthetic, ordinarily within a single visit.
Account for the days ahead
Protecting the area, managing swelling and resuming normal activity are each addressed before the appointment ends.
Questions before a decision
This suits anyone who prefers the procedure, its recovery and its fee mapped out precisely, before the appointment begins.
Is removal always necessary?
Not as a matter of routine. It is recommended for a specific reason: recurring discomfort, decay or pressure on a neighbouring tooth.
Will there be pain?
Most removals proceed under local anaesthetic, numbness maintained throughout. A more involved case is discussed beforehand.
How long does swelling last?
Typically a few days, though duration varies by person and by tooth. No fixed figure applies to every case.
When is referral required?
Where the position is genuinely demanding, close to a nerve or set deep in the jaw, referral to an oral surgeon follows, explained plainly.
An assessment, first
Nothing proceeds until it has been examined properly.
Tell the team what has changed or what concerns you. Everything else, including whether treatment is even necessary, follows only after a proper look.
