What is Wisdom Teeth Removal?
Not unlike the tailbone and the appendix, our wisdom teeth have been around for a long long time, and evolved slowly over the years. But the need for wisdom teeth removal has only come around in more recent times.
Evidence shows that the human jaw used to be bigger and had more room to accommodate these third molars known as wisdom teeth. However as we changed our diet and lifestyle, our jaw and facial bones evolved in shape and size to be sleeker and smaller. As a result, a lot of us don’t have enough space in our jaw bone to comfortably fit our four wisdom teeth.
Why Remove Wisdom Teeth?
Explain common reasons for removal:
Impaction
Wisdom teeth may become trapped beneath the gum or bone, leading to pain and infection.
Overcrowding
Emerging wisdom teeth can push against adjacent teeth, causing misalignment and crowding.
Pain
Wisdom teeth can cause discomfort and pain, particularly if they are growing in at an angle.
Infection Risk
Wisdom teeth that are difficult to clean can become infected, leading to more severe oral health issues.

Our Approach
Whilst corporate owned dental practices are on the rise, we are very much a family owned and run small business. Our priorities lie in the people that make up our practice – our patients and our team.
At Gisborne Family Dental, we believe in tailoring our approach to each individual patient. We take the time to get to know our patients and work with them, so that we can provide the very best care for them. There is no one size fits all treatment because we know there are many considerations that need to be taken into account, whether they be social, emotional, financial or even cultural. We believe strongly in treating our patients like people, not just teeth, and so we take a very holistic approach to dental care and health in general.

What to Expect
Step-by-step guide to the procedure
1. Pre-Surgery Consultation
During your initial visit, we'll evaluate your wisdom teeth with X-rays and discuss your treatment plan. We'll explain the procedure, sedation options, and post-operative care to ensure you're well-prepared.
2. Procedure
On the day of the surgery, we'll administer the chosen sedation or anesthesia to keep you comfortable. The wisdom teeth will be carefully removed, and the procedure typically takes about an hour.
3. Recovery & Aftercare
After the surgery, you'll receive instructions for managing pain, swelling, and oral hygiene. Recovery usually takes a few days, with follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing and address any concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here we list some of the questions most frequently asked by our patients! If there is anything you want to know that is not covered below our friendly staff would be more than happy to help! Please call or email us today!
Your dentist will assess your wisdom teeth through X-rays and a clinical examination. If they are impacted, causing pain, or leading to potential issues like crowding or infection, removal may be recommended.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia, depending on your preference and the complexity of the extraction. You should not feel pain during the surgery, though some discomfort is normal afterward.
Most patients experience swelling and discomfort for a few days after the procedure. Full recovery typically takes one to two weeks, during which you’ll need to follow post-operative care instructions to ensure proper healing.What can I eat after the surgery?
It’s best to stick to soft foods and liquids for the first few days. Avoid hard, crunchy, or sticky foods that could disrupt the healing process or get stuck in the extraction sites.
As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks, such as infection, dry socket, or damage to surrounding teeth and nerves. However, these complications are rare, and our team will take every precaution to ensure a smooth and safe procedure.
