Whether you need a simple extraction or surgical removal of impacted wisdom teeth in Perth, our Como dental clinic’s approach focuses on minimising discomfort, supporting faster recovery and protecting your long-term oral health.

What Are Wisdom Teeth?

Wisdom teeth are the final adult teeth to emerge, typically between the ages of 17 and 25. While some people experience no issues, many patients develop problems due to limited jaw space. 

When wisdom teeth erupt at incorrect angles or remain trapped beneath the gum or bone, they can cause pain, infection, crowding and damage to neighbouring teeth. In these cases, wisdom teeth extraction in Perth is often recommended to prevent ongoing discomfort and future dental complications.

When Is Wisdom Teeth Removal Necessary?

At our Como dental clinic, wisdom teeth treatment is recommended when assessment shows a potential risk to your oral health. Common reasons for wisdom teeth removal include:

  • Persistent pain or swelling at the back of the jaw
  • Recurrent gum infections around partially erupted wisdom teeth
  • Impacted wisdom teeth detected on dental X-rays
  • Tooth decay affecting wisdom teeth or adjacent molars
  • Difficulty cleaning wisdom teeth effectively
  • Risk of cysts, bone damage or misalignment of surrounding teeth

Early assessment allows our wisdom teeth dentists in Perth to determine whether removal is needed now or whether proactive treatment may prevent future complications.

Wisdom Teeth Removal Procedure in Perth

01

Consultation & Diagnostic Assessment

Your journey starts with a comprehensive consultation at our Como clinic. Our dentists assess your symptoms and medical history, using digital imaging to evaluate the position of your third molars. For impacted or complex cases, additional imaging ensures the safest, most effective extraction approach.

02

Treatment Planning & Anaesthetic Options

Before proceeding, we clearly explain your personalised treatment plan, including whether the extraction is simple or surgical, expected procedure duration, suitable anaesthetic or sedation options, and recovery expectations. Wisdom teeth removal is commonly performed under local anaesthetic, with sedation available for anxious patients.

03

Wisdom Teeth Extraction Process

Erupted wisdom teeth are usually removed by gently loosening and extracting the tooth. Impacted wisdom teeth may require a small incision and minimal bone removal; in some cases the tooth is sectioned into smaller pieces for safe removal while minimising trauma. Our dentists prioritise precision and tissue preservation.

04

Closure & Suturing After Wisdom Teeth Removal

Once the tooth is removed, the extraction site is carefully cleaned to reduce infection risk. Sutures may be placed for surgical or impacted cases to protect the area and stabilise the blood clot. These may be dissolvable or removed at a follow-up appointment.

05

Post-Operative Care After Wisdom Teeth Removal

Before leaving, you receive clear post-operative instructions — managing swelling and discomfort, caring for the extraction site and sutures, maintaining oral hygiene, and following dietary and activity restrictions. This helps reduce the risk of infection or dry socket.

06

Recovery After Wisdom Teeth Extraction

Most patients recover well, especially when guidance is followed — managing swelling and discomfort, maintaining oral hygiene, temporary dietary adjustments, and avoiding strenuous activity during early healing. Our team is always available during your recovery.

Professional and Meticulous

Chanced upon this dental clinic, and decided to visit for a check up. It turned out to be the best decision ever as my fear of dentists have been alleviated.

Dr JJ was very professional and meticulous. He explained to me the condition of my teeth and the treatment plan in detail, given that they weren’t in a great condition after so long. Under his care, he helped to replace my worn out fillings, did a wisdom tooth extraction and saved some of my teeth from further decay. I would highly recommend this clinic to everyone, especially anyone who has fear of dentists 🙂

Frequently Asked Questions for Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth can lead to pain, infection, and damage to other teeth because they often don’t have enough space to come in properly. They can get stuck under the gum, causing serious issues.

Early removal is often suggested because younger patients tend to have easier recoveries, as the roots are not fully developed and the bone is less dense. It is typically recommended in late adolescence or early adulthood (ages 17–25), but you can remove them at any age if they cause trouble.

Wisdom teeth can grow straight, sideways, towards the front, or towards the back of the mouth, affecting how they’re removed. An impacted wisdom tooth, which is usually the one that causes the most pain and problems, occurs when your wisdom tooth doesn’t have enough room to emerge or grow properly, and oftentimes involved the neighbouring teeth thus causing more pain.

Like any surgical procedure, wisdom teeth removal comes with potential risks, although serious complications are rare. The procedure can sometimes lead to dry socket, infection, damage to nearby teeth or nerves, but serious problems are rare. At our clinic, we take all necessary precautions to minimise these risks and ensure a safe and effective treatment for our patients in Perth.

The cost varies based on the position and complexity of the tooth. At our Como clinic, treatment starts from $300 per tooth, with surgical or impacted wisdom teeth typically costing more. A personalised quote is provided after assessment.

Wisdom teeth removal at our Como, Perth clinic is performed under local anaesthetic, so you should not feel pain during the procedure. Some pressure may be felt. Mild to moderate discomfort after treatment is normal and can usually be managed with pain relief as advised by your dentist.

  • Simple extractions: 15–30 minutes
  • Surgical or impacted cases: 45–60 minutes

Our Como, Perth dentist will provide an estimated treatment time during your consultation.

Initial recovery usually takes 3 to 7 days, with swelling peaking within the first 48 hours. Full healing may take several weeks. Following post-operative instructions helps ensure a smooth recovery.

You should avoid smoking, vaping, alcohol, using straws, strenuous exercise, and vigorous rinsing or spitting. These activities can interfere with healing and increase the risk of dry socket.

Wisdom teeth are often removed to prevent pain, infection and long-term dental complications. Impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth can trap bacteria, leading to gum disease, tooth decay and damage to surrounding teeth. Early treatment can help avoid more complex procedures later and protect your oral health.
