Wisdom Tooth Removal in Mira Road
Wisdom teeth that cannot erupt properly trap food, decay the tooth in front and cause repeated infection. Removing them early is simpler than removing them late.

Do you need wisdom tooth removal?
Book an assessment if any of these apply to you:
- Pain at the very back of the jaw
- Swelling of the gum over a partly erupted tooth
- Difficulty opening your mouth fully
- Bad taste or pus from behind the last molar
- Food constantly trapping at the back
- Pain in the tooth in front of the wisdom tooth
- Repeated cheek biting
What happens, step by step
- OPG X-ray to map root position and the inferior alveolar nerve
- CBCT where roots sit close to the nerve
- Local anaesthetic; sedation available for anxious patients
- Small incision and bone removal where the tooth is impacted
- Tooth sectioned and removed in pieces to minimise bone loss
- Socket irrigated and sutured
- Antibiotics, painkillers and written aftercare issued
- Suture removal at seven days
Aftercare
- Bite firmly on the gauze for 45 minutes
- Ice pack outside the cheek, 15 minutes on and 15 off, for the first 6 hours
- Do not spit, rinse or use a straw for 24 hours — this dislodges the clot and causes dry socket
- Soft, cool food for two to three days
- Warm salt-water rinses from day two
- No smoking for at least 72 hours
- Swelling peaks on day two or three, then subsides
- Return immediately for increasing pain after day three, fever, or heavy bleeding
How we quote wisdom tooth removal
We do not publish a figure for this treatment, because the honest answer is that it depends on what we find. Two patients needing wisdom tooth removal can need very different work. You get your cost in writing after the examination and X-ray — before anything begins.
No surprise billing. We quote after the X-ray and examination, not
during treatment. If the plan changes clinically, we stop and discuss it with you
first. Send a photo on WhatsApp beforehand and we will tell you what is likely involved.
Wisdom Tooth Removal — frequently asked questions
Is wisdom tooth removal painful?
The procedure is not — the area is fully anaesthetised. Expect discomfort and swelling for three to five days afterwards, well controlled with prescribed painkillers.
How long is the recovery?
Most patients return to work in two to three days. Swelling peaks around day two or three and settles by the end of the first week. Full socket healing takes three to four weeks.
Do all wisdom teeth need to be removed?
No. A wisdom tooth that is fully erupted, in a normal bite and cleanable can stay. We recommend removal when it is impacted, repeatedly infected, decayed, or damaging the tooth in front.
What is dry socket?
A painful condition where the blood clot is lost from the socket, usually days three to five, exposing bone. It is largely preventable — no spitting, rinsing, straws or smoking for the first 24 to 72 hours. If it happens, we place a medicated dressing and the pain settles quickly.
Can both sides be done together?
Yes, and many patients prefer one recovery period instead of two. We usually advise doing one side at a time only if you need to keep chewing normally throughout.
