Wisdom teeth might be called “wise,” but they’re not always the smartest addition to your smile. In fact, more often than not, they won’t fit comfortably in your mouth. And when there’s not enough space, they can cause issues like pain, overcrowding, or even become impacted under the gums.
With our modern techniques and experienced dentists, we’ll help you say goodbye to those troublemakers and hello to a happier, healthier mouth.
Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars to emerge, typically appearing in your late teens or early twenties. While some people have no issues with their wisdom teeth, many experience problems due to limited space in the jaw. Addressing wisdom teeth early can save you a lot of discomfort later, making it easier to prevent complications and keep your smile healthy and pain-free.
If you think you might need to remove your wisdom teeth, we’ve got the best dentists in Hervey Bay who can help. Book your consultation with our team at Viva Dental today.
Because your comfort is our priority, we’ll try our best to ensure you experience pain-free wisdom teeth removal in Hervey Bay. The procedure is extremely common and begins with a local anaesthetic to numb the site. Using modern technology and tools, our dentist will carefully loosen and remove your tooth, whether it’s fully erupted or impacted. The process is typically quick, often completed in under an hour, and you’ll receive personalised aftercare instructions to help with a smooth recovery.
For more complex cases, we may refer you to an oral surgeon to ensure you receive the best care possible.
Wisdom teeth can be a bit of a troublemaker. Whether they’re impacted, causing discomfort, or putting your other teeth at risk, removing wisdom teeth can prevent bigger dental issues down the line.
It’s not just the fear of the wisdom teeth extraction that can cause unease: financial concerns often play a big role too. We understand that the procedure can feel like a big step, which is why we’re managing your wisdom teeth extraction cost as straightforward as possible.
During your consultation, we’ll examine your teeth and provide a clear breakdown of the costs, based on factors like the complexity of your extraction and whether multiple teeth need removal. We also offer flexible payment options, allowing you to spread the cost over time with smaller, manageable instalments.
You may need a wisdom tooth extraction if you experience pain, swelling, jaw stiffness, infection, or recurrent gum inflammation around the back teeth. Impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth can also trap food and bacteria, increasing the risk of damage to neighbouring teeth.
Wisdom tooth removal usually takes between 20 minutes and an hour, depending on the tooth’s position and the complexity of the procedure. A straightforward extraction is often prompt, while impacted teeth may take longer and require a minor surgical approach.
The cost of wisdom tooth removal in Queensland varies based on the complexity of the case, the number of teeth removed, and whether sedation is required. At Viva Family Dental, we provide an individualised treatment plan following assessment, with a clear outline of fees ranging from $350-$500 per tooth.
There is no specific age at which wisdom teeth are considered “too late” to remove. While removal is often simpler in younger adults, extractions can be safely performed later in life when appropriately assessed.
The most affordable option is a simple extraction when the tooth is fully erupted and accessible. Our clinical assessment will determine the most suitable and cost-effective treatment option for your individual situation.
