Wisdom teeth do not always cause problems. But when they do, the pain, swelling, and infection can come on fast. At Memon Dental Care in Castle Hill, our experienced team assesses your wisdom teeth thoroughly and recommends removal only when it is truly necessary. Whether your wisdom teeth are impacted, partially erupted, or causing crowding, our Castle Hill team will take care of you gently, safely, and efficiently.
Dr Mohammed Sohail Memon brings over 25 years of clinical experience and a PhD in Jaw Function and Orofacial Pain to every wisdom tooth assessment, meaning complex cases are handled with the highest level of expertise available in the Hills District.
Our team checks for signs of impaction, crowding, infection, and decay before recommending removal. Furthermore, patients who require tooth extraction for other teeth can often have multiple procedures managed at the same visit. In addition, if jaw pain or stiffness develops around your wisdom teeth, our TMJ treatment Castle Hill team can assess and manage this at the same clinic.
Warning: Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
Common signs include pain or pressure at the back of your mouth, swollen or bleeding gums around the wisdom tooth, difficulty opening your mouth, bad taste or smell near the tooth, and crowding of nearby teeth. However, some impacted wisdom teeth cause no obvious symptoms at all. Therefore, regular dental check-ups at our Castle Hill clinic allow us to monitor your wisdom teeth with X-rays and recommend removal before problems develop.
We use effective local anaesthetic throughout the procedure so you feel no pain during removal. However, some soreness and mild swelling in the days after is completely normal and manageable with over-the-counter pain relief. Therefore, most patients find the experience far more comfortable than they anticipated.
A straightforward wisdom tooth removal at our Castle Hill clinic typically takes between 20 and 45 minutes. However, impacted or surgically complex extractions may take longer. Therefore, our team will give you a clear time estimate before your appointment.
Yes, in many cases we can remove multiple wisdom teeth in a single appointment under local anaesthetic. However, this depends on the position and complexity of each tooth. Therefore, our Castle Hill team will assess all four wisdom teeth and advise the safest and most comfortable approach for your situation.
Many Australian health funds provide partial cover for wisdom tooth removal under extras cover. However, cover varies between providers and depends on the complexity of the extraction. We have HICAPS on site so your rebate is processed instantly on the day. Contact our Castle Hill team before your appointment to understand what your fund covers.
