Wisdom Tooth Removal
Did you know that it is possible to apply for the Early Release of your Superannuation to pay for certain dental surgeries for you or eligible family members?
And – We Can Help!
Wisdom teeth removal at Beerwah Dental brings immediate pain relief and safeguards future oral health by preventing serious complications.
If wisdom teeth have fully emerged through the gum, the extraction procedure is straightforward.
The process of removing misaligned or impacted wisdom teeth is more complicated, and when a wisdom tooth has to be taken out piece by piece, it’s one of the most difficult tooth extraction procedures in dentistry.
Complex dentistry and wisdom teeth removal are two of the special interests of Beerwah Dental lead dentist Dr Regan Leslie.
This means that in-clinic wisdom teeth extraction at our Queensland practice can in most cases avoid the need for a hospital visit. In extremely difficult cases, we can refer you to an oral surgeon.
Specials & Highlights
Why is wisdom teeth removal often necessary?
Most people get wisdom teeth, although we no longer need them. In many cases, they have to be extracted to avoid multiple complications.
There are three main problems with wisdom teeth. They frequently become impacted, remaining trapped beneath the gum. Or they only emerge partially through the gum. Or they emerge misaligned, crowding other teeth.
This happens because through evolution our jaws are now much smaller, and 90 percent of us don’t have room in our mouth for wisdom teeth – the third and final set of molars to develop, usually in our late teens or early 20s.
Complications from problem wisdom teeth include:
- Damage to other teeth from crowding
- Cysts – fluid-filled sacs in jaw bone, which can damage the bone, teeth and nerves
- Greater risk of tooth decay – wisdom teeth are harder to clean
- Painful gum inflammation
Wisdom teeth infection
Wisdom teeth are particularly prone to infection.
Bacteria and food particles can easily get lodged between a wisdom tooth and the gum, and because of their location at the back of the mouth, wisdom teeth are harder to clean, especially if they’re partially impacted.
You may have an infected wisdom tooth is you experience any of the following problems:
- Swelling and pain in the jaw
- Bleeding and/or swollen gums
- Bad taste in your mouth
- Persistent bad breath

Our Treatments
Is extracting my wisdom tooth harmful?
Wisdom tooth extraction offers a number of benefits. You shouldn’t feel any pain as your wisdom teeth are removed because the area will be numb. However, if you do feel pain during the procedure, tell your Beerwah dentist so they can make you more comfortable.
Who can have this surgery?
As we’ll discuss in our initial consultation to ensure that you are qualified, but most patients for all ages qualify.
Is it better to remove a wisdom tooth when I am older?
Many times wisdom teeth don’t have room to grow properly and can cause problems. Erupting wisdom teeth can grow at various angles in the jaw, both horizontally and vertically.
Some dentists recommend removing wisdom teeth if they don’t fully emerge. We believe it’s better to remove wisdom teeth at a younger age, before the roots and bone are fully formed, and when recovery is generally faster after surgery. This is why some young adults have their wisdom teeth pulled before the teeth cause problems.
How long do tooth extractions generally take?
How long it takes to remove the wisdom tooth will vary depending on the complexity. Though usually upper wisdom teeth tend to be easier to remove.
