Your Trusted Clinic in Brisbane for Wisdom Tooth Removal
If you are experiencing swelling, stiffness, or crowding, our clinic provides a professional solution for tooth extractions in Brisbane. Wisdom teeth can cause anything from mild discomfort to significant pain, infection, and swelling. Our skilled team is dedicated to making this process as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
The experience of wisdom teeth can differ from person to person. While most people have four wisdom teeth, some have two or three, some only have one, and some have none at all. At Springfield Dental Brisbane, we use advanced OPG X-rays to get a clear view of your mouth and will only suggest an extraction if it is truly necessary.
We offer a variety of sedation options, including IV and general anesthesia, to help you relax and remain comfortable throughout the procedure. We will develop a treatment plan that fits your budget and meets your unique needs.
What Are Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars at the back of your mouth, usually appearing between ages 17 and 25. They were useful for our ancestors to chew tough foods, but today they’re often unnecessary and can cause problems if there isn’t enough space for them to grow properly.
Sometimes, wisdom teeth grow in properly and never cause any trouble. But often, wisdom teeth get stuck in your gums or jawbone and don’t grow in. When this happens, you can develop an infection, cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues. That’s why we recommend removing them.
When Wisdom Teeth Need to Be Removed
We evaluate your wisdom teeth based on how they affect your overall oral health. Wisdom tooth extraction is typically recommended if we identify,
- Lack of space in the jaw, causing crowding of other teeth
- A wisdom tooth can grow out too far and damage the cheek or gum
- Pain or swelling around the wisdom tooth
- Infection or gum disease due to difficulty cleaning the area
- Tooth decay, especially if the wisdom tooth is hard to reach
- Damage to nearby teeth caused by pressure from the wisdom tooth
- Your tooth may be in a position that makes it difficult to clean properly

What Are Impacted Wisdom Teeth?
An “impacted” wisdom tooth is simply a tooth that has become stuck under your gums. This happens because there isn’t enough room in your mouth for the tooth to grow in straight. Instead of coming through normally, the tooth might grow at an angle or remain hidden under the bone.
Impacted wisdom teeth don’t always cause symptoms. But when an impacted wisdom tooth becomes infected, it can damage other teeth or cause other dental problems, including red or swollen gums, jaw pain, bad breath, and an unpleasant taste in your mouth. Our dentists often recommend removing impacted wisdom teeth to prevent these issues and maintain oral health.
We Are Preferred Providers For:
The Wisdom Teeth Removal Process
Wisdom teeth removal is a common dental procedure designed to safely extract teeth that may be causing pain, crowding, or other complications. Our team ensures the process is as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
Consultation and Assessment
Your dentist will examine your mouth and take X-rays to determine the position of your wisdom teeth and whether removal is necessary. This helps plan a safe and efficient extraction.
Anaesthesia and Preparation
The area is numbed with local anaesthetic, and sedation or general anaesthetic may be offered for added comfort. You’ll be fully relaxed and pain-free during the procedure.
Tooth Extraction
If the tooth is impacted or partially erupted, a small incision may be made in the gum, and the tooth may be divided into sections for easier removal. The extraction is performed carefully to minimise trauma to the surrounding tissue.
Cleaning and Stitches
Once the tooth is removed, the site is cleaned, and stitches may be placed to aid healing. Your dentist will provide instructions for managing bleeding and swelling.
Recovery and Aftercare
After the procedure, you’ll receive guidance on pain management, oral hygiene, and dietary restrictions. Most patients recover within a few days, though full healing can take longer depending on the complexity of the extraction.
Do Wisdom Teeth Have to Be Removed?
Not always. Wisdom teeth only need to be removed if they cause problems or are likely to cause issues in the future. If they are healthy and not interfering with your bite or neighbouring teeth, we will monitor them during your regular check-ups to ensure they remain healthy.
However, there are specific situations where a wisdom tooth must be removed to protect your overall health. Extraction becomes necessary if the teeth are causing persistent pain or recurring gum infections. Leaving these problematic teeth in place can lead to more serious issues, such as cysts, jawbone damage, or tooth crowding, which can ruin your smile’s alignment.
Book a consultation with us today. Our team will carefully review your oral health and let you know if a wisdom tooth removal is actually required. In some cases, our dentists may recommend a proactive extraction. It is often much easier and safer to remove wisdom teeth at a younger age, when the roots are not yet fully formed and the bone is less dense, resulting in a faster, more comfortable recovery.
