Oral Surgery Mount Waverley

Being told that you need oral surgery is not something any of us want to hear, but in actual fact, minor oral surgical procedures are really not daunting. Think about it, wouldn’t you rather have a minor oral surgery to prevent any oral health issues turning into something far more serious and difficult to treat further down the line?

At Dentist@330 we regularly perform simple extractions and wisdom teeth extractions. A simple extraction refers to the removal of a normal tooth, whilst, as the name states a wisdom tooth extraction is exactly that. Simple extractions may be performed for a number of reasons: a tooth is too decayed or damaged to save, it is severely misaligned and causes the patient to bite the inside of their cheek, or it is causing overcrowding in the mouth and needs to be removed so another orthodontic procedure can be performed.

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are usually extracted because there is a lack of space for them to grow properly which results in them becoming impacted, developing at an incorrect angle or unable to fully emerge through the gum or bone.

Simple Extrations

If you need a simple extraction the good news is that our dentists begin the procedure by numbing your tooth and the gum around it with local anesthetic. After this, they will enlarge the tooth’s socket so that it can be separated...

FAQs

Minor oral surgery typically includes procedures such as simple extractions, wisdom teeth removal, and other minor surgical interventions aimed at addressing specific dental issues. These procedures are generally less invasive and require shorter recovery times compared to major surgeries.
A simple tooth extraction may be necessary for several reasons, including severe decay or damage that cannot be repaired, misalignment causing irritation to the cheek, or overcrowding that prevents orthodontic treatment. Removing the problematic tooth helps maintain overall oral health and facilitates other dental treatments.
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last set of teeth to emerge, usually in late adolescence or early adulthood. They often need to be extracted due to a lack of space in the mouth, which can cause them to become impacted, grow at incorrect angles, or fail to fully emerge. These issues can lead to pain, infection, and damage to surrounding teeth.
During a simple extraction, the dentist will numb the area around the tooth to ensure you do not feel pain. The tooth is then gently loosened and removed using specialised tools. The procedure is quick, and recovery typically involves minimal discomfort, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and proper aftercare.
As with any surgical procedure, there are some risks associated with wisdom teeth removal, including infection, bleeding, and temporary numbness. However, these risks are generally low, and the benefits of removing problematic wisdom teeth often outweigh potential complications. Your dentist will discuss any concerns and provide guidance on how to minimise risks.
Preparation for oral surgery includes following your dentist’s instructions, such as fasting before the procedure if necessary. Post-surgery, it is important to follow aftercare guidelines, which may include avoiding strenuous activity, eating soft foods, and maintaining oral hygiene to prevent infection. Your dentist will provide detailed instructions tailored to your specific procedure and needs.

We are committed to providing personalised care that helps our patients maintain their oral health and supports confidence in their smiles.
