At Distinctly Dental, we often see patients who need advice or treatment for wisdom teeth removal – whether they’ve been referred by their usual dentist or have come to us directly. Dr Ezgi Cilingir, our friendly and experienced oral surgery dentist, is great at handling even the trickiest cases. With our onsite 3D scanner (CBCT), we can check things out and get your treatment started quickly, safely and smoothly.
If you’re wondering whether your wisdom teeth need to come out – or if you’re a dentist looking for someone to refer your patient to – we hope this guide answers your questions and puts your mind at ease.
5 Signs Your Wisdom Teeth Might Be Coming In
- A dull ache or pressure at the back of your mouth.
- Red, swollen, or sore gums near your back molars.
- Feeling stiff or sore when you try to open your mouth wide.
- Headaches or earaches that don’t seem to go away.
- Your teeth shifting or feeling more crowded – especially if you’ve had braces before.
Even if your wisdom teeth aren’t hurting, they could still be causing problems under the surface. That’s why it’s a good idea to get them checked with an X-ray or scan.
Wisdom Teeth Removal - When Do Wisdom Teeth Need to Come Out?
- They’re stuck (impacted) and not coming through properly.
- There’s just not enough room in your mouth for them.
- They’re growing at a strange angle and pushing against other teeth.
- You’re getting repeated infections, swelling, or tooth decay.
- Your dentist recommends removing them before they cause trouble – usually in your late teens or early twenties.
We’re always happy to check things over and give you honest advice as to whether your wisdom teeth need removing. And if you’ve been referred by your dentist, we’ll keep them updated every step of the way.
How We Help: From Consultation to Recovery
Your First Visit
We can usually see you within a couple of days. During your visit, we’ll do a gentle examination and, if needed, take a 3D scan right here in the clinic. This helps us see exactly where your wisdom teeth are and plan the best approach. The consultation costs £80*, and if we need to do a CT scan, it’s £125*.
Treatment Options
- We can remove wisdom teeth using local anaesthetic (starting from £300*).
- If you’re nervous, we also offer IV sedation to help you feel relaxed (sedation is £300* per hour).
Dr Cilingir is very experienced with both simple and more complicated extractions – even if your wisdom teeth are deeply buried or close to nerves.
Aftercare and Recovery
You might feel a bit sore or swollen for a few days – that’s totally normal. We’ll give you full aftercare advice and check in if you need us. Most people feel back to normal within a week.
Getting Ready for Your Appointment
- Take a bit of time off work, school, or uni to rest afterwards.
- If you’re having sedation, bring someone with you and don’t plan to drive.
- Have soft, easy-to-eat foods ready at home like soup, yoghurt, or mashed potatoes.
- Avoid smoking, alcohol, and exercise while you heal.
- Follow the instructions we give you – they’ll really help your recovery go smoothly.
