Wisdom Tooth Removal
End wisdom tooth pain for good with a safe, efficient removal by Manya Dental's experienced oral surgeons.
About Wisdom Tooth Removal
Wisdom teeth — the third molars at the back of your mouth — typically erupt between the ages of 17 and 25. In many people, the jaw does not have sufficient space to accommodate them. This leads to impaction (the tooth getting stuck below the gum line or growing at an angle), which can cause significant pain, infection, damage to adjacent teeth, and cyst formation.
Not all wisdom teeth need to be removed — some erupt fully and cause no problems. However, partially erupted or impacted wisdom teeth are extremely difficult to clean effectively, making them prone to decay and gum infection (pericoronitis). When these problems arise, or when there is clear risk of complications, removal is the recommended course of action.
At Manya Dental, wisdom tooth removals are performed by experienced oral surgeons using precise surgical techniques and effective local anaesthesia. Most straightforward extractions are completed in 20–45 minutes. Recovery is typically smooth with the right post-operative care, which our team will guide you through in detail.
How It Works
X-ray & Surgical Assessment
A panoramic X-ray or CBCT scan reveals the exact position, angle, and root anatomy of the wisdom tooth. The surgeon plans the safest approach for removal.
Local Anaesthesia
The area is thoroughly numbed with local anaesthesia. Patients who are particularly anxious can discuss sedation options with the surgeon.
Tooth Removal
Depending on whether the tooth is fully or partially erupted, the surgeon either extracts it directly or makes a small incision in the gum to access and section the tooth before removal.
Socket Care
The extraction socket is cleaned, and any infection is treated. Dissolvable sutures are placed if an incision was made. Gauze is applied to control bleeding.
Post-Operative Care Instructions
Detailed written instructions are provided covering pain management, diet, swelling management (ice pack protocol), and warning signs to watch for during recovery.
Key Benefits
Why patients at Manya Dental choose wisdom tooth removal.
Eliminates the Source of Pain
Removing a problematic wisdom tooth provides immediate, permanent relief from the recurring pain, pressure, and infection it was causing.
Prevents Infection & Cysts
Partially erupted wisdom teeth are a persistent infection risk. Removal eliminates the risk of pericoronitis, dental cysts, and damage to adjacent teeth.
Protects Adjacent Teeth
An impacted wisdom tooth exerts pressure on the second molar next to it, causing decay or resorption over time. Early removal prevents this damage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about wisdom tooth removal at Manya Dental.
Does wisdom tooth removal hurt?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so you will not feel pain during the surgery. Post-operative soreness for 3–5 days is normal and managed with prescribed pain relief. Swelling typically peaks at 48 hours and subsides within a week.
When should a wisdom tooth be removed?
Removal is recommended when a wisdom tooth is causing recurrent infection, pain or pressure, decay (in the wisdom tooth or the adjacent molar), or when X-rays show an impaction that will inevitably cause problems. Early removal in your 20s is generally easier with faster healing.
How long is the recovery period?
Most patients feel comfortable returning to normal activities within 3–5 days. Complete healing of the socket takes 4–6 weeks. Strenuous exercise and very hard foods should be avoided for the first week.
Can all four wisdom teeth be removed at once?
Yes, it is possible to remove all four at the same appointment under local anaesthesia. Many patients prefer this to get the recovery over in one go. Your surgeon will advise whether this is appropriate in your case.
What is dry socket and how is it prevented?
Dry socket occurs when the blood clot that forms after extraction is dislodged, exposing the underlying bone. It is painful and requires treatment. To prevent it: avoid smoking, do not spit forcefully, and do not use a straw for the first 48 hours after surgery.
