Wisdom teeth often cause problems as they emerge, typically in your late teens or early twenties. When they become impacted, infected, or cause crowding, removal is often the best solution. We make the process as smooth and comfortable as possible.
When Do Wisdom Teeth Need Removing?
Removal is recommended when wisdom teeth are impacted (stuck in the jaw), partially erupted (leading to infection risk), causing pain or swelling, damaging adjacent teeth, contributing to crowding, or associated with cysts or other pathology.
The Removal Process
Simple extractions of fully erupted wisdom teeth are straightforward. Impacted teeth may require surgical extraction, where we make a small incision in the gum and may remove some bone. We ensure you're completely numb and comfortable throughout. In some cases, if the location, position or other factors mean the extraction is too complex or risky to be carried out here safely, we may need to refer you on to a specialist.
Recovery
Most patients recover within a few days to a week. Swelling and discomfort are normal but manageable with prescribed medication and ice packs. We'll provide detailed aftercare instructions and schedule a follow-up if needed.
Should I Remove Them Preventively?
Not all wisdom teeth need removing - some erupt without problems and function normally. We'll monitor your wisdom teeth and recommend removal only if problems arise or are likely. X-rays help us assess their position and predict potential issues.

Calm and relaxed atmosphere right from the door. Friendly receptionist and a warm welcome from Geeta the dentist. Put my mind at rest straightaway about procedures and practices at the surgery. Geeta explained everything in detail after an examination of my teeth that was probably the most explorative check I've ever had in all my years. No hard sell and a genuine authentic explanation of my teeth (and related oral health). High tech equipment and no uncomfortable processes to map teeth and gums. In my views this is a totally professional service that's almost worth looking forward to.
Form is everything that a dental practice should be! I was nervous before attending but Laura and Andrea were professional and kind and put me at ease. Highly recommended!
This is hands down the best dentist I have ever visited in my life. It's like being at a 5 star resort/spa. They take a great deal of care ensuring the patient understands the rationale behind the treatment plan and procedures. Their equipment is state of the art and the team working there are simply great. I am so happy to have come across this dental practice.
Wonderful experience at Form Dental from start to finish. Welcoming receptionist in a calm, tranquil environment, followed by the most informative, caring yet professional hygienist appointment with Teresa, that I have ever experienced. So attentive to individual needs and concerns, including demonstration of correct flossing and brushing techniques. Cannot recommend highly enough.
Recently found this dentist and from walking in the welcome, the service and as you are leaving all is 10 out of 10. Gita (Dentist) is by far the best I have come across, takes time to explain all you need to know and with genuine care, and of course Andrea (assistant) also top notch. Together they are number one in the business. Highly recommend
So impressed with my friendly, knowledgeable dentist and the helpful and thorough appointment - lots of great advice. A beautiful clinic with great equipment and, best of all, they were brilliant with my 2 year old and even put tractors on the TV to make him feel welcome. Thank you so much!
