Wisdom Teeth
Evaluation, monitoring and treatment planning for third molars that are impacted, crowded or causing symptoms.
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, usually appear in the late teens or early twenties. Some erupt without any problem; others become impacted, crowded or difficult to clean.
We monitor their development with imaging and recommend treatment only when there is a clinical reason — pain, infection, decay, cyst formation or damage to neighbouring teeth.
Who this may help
- Teenagers and young adults with developing third molars
- Pain or swelling at the back of the mouth
- Repeated food trapping or gum infection
- Decay in a partially erupted wisdom tooth

Wisdom Teeth: common questions
Do wisdom teeth always need to be removed?
No. Wisdom teeth that are fully erupted, functional and cleanable can often be kept and monitored. Removal is recommended when there is decay, infection, cyst formation or damage to neighbouring teeth.
