Relieving Pain & Protecting Your Oral Health
Wisdom teeth can cause discomfort, swelling, and even complications if they don’t have enough space to grow properly. Our wisdom teeth extraction services help prevent future issues while prioritising your comfort and recovery.
At Robina Quays Dental Care, we take a caring approach to wisdom teeth removal, using modern techniques to make the process as smooth as possible. Whether your wisdom teeth are causing pain or need to be removed as a precaution, we’re here to guide you through the process with clear advice and gentle care.
Why Wisdom Teeth May Need Removal
Wisdom teeth often don’t have enough room to grow properly. This can lead to:
- Impaction, where the tooth is stuck under the gums or bone
- Pain or swelling in the jaw or gums
- Infection such as pericoronitis, or the development of cysts
- Pressure on other teeth, which may cause misalignment
- Difficulty cleaning the area, which increases the risk of decay or gum disease
In many cases, early removal is recommended to avoid future complications. This is especially true if the roots are still developing or if orthodontic treatment is planned.

Our Approach
We prioritise comfort, clarity, and care at every step:
Consultation & Assessment
We evaluate your wisdom teeth with digital imaging and discuss whether wisdom teeth extraction is needed.
Personalised Treatment Plan
We create a plan based on your needs, whether a simple extraction or a more complex surgical procedure is required.
Wisdom Teeth Removal Procedure
Local anaesthesia is used for comfort, and the tooth is gently removed using the most suitable method.
Aftercare & Recovery
We provide detailed instructions for healing and schedule follow-ups if needed.
How do I know if I need my wisdom teeth removed?
Signs include pain, swelling, or difficulty chewing. A consultation can determine if removal is necessary.
Will the procedure be painful?
Local anaesthesia is used to numb the area, and post-care instructions help manage discomfort.
What is the recovery time?
Most people recover within a few days to a week, depending on the complexity of the extraction.
Can I eat normally after wisdom teeth removal?
A soft food diet is recommended initially, with a gradual return to normal eating habits.
At what age do wisdom teeth typically come through?
Most people’s wisdom teeth emerge between ages 17 and 25, though the timing varies. Some people never develop them at all.
What should I avoid after surgery?
Avoid smoking, alcohol, hot foods, and strenuous activity for a few days. Stick to soft foods and follow all post-op instructions to minimise complications like dry socket.
Can I keep my wisdom teeth if they’re not bothering me?
If your wisdom teeth are healthy, fully erupted, and easy to clean, they may not need removal. We’ll monitor their position and health over time during regular check-ups.
Is wisdom teeth removal covered by health funds?
In many cases, yes. If the removal is medically necessary, your health fund may cover part of the cost. We’ll provide itemised quotes that you can submit for processing.
What are the risks of not removing impacted wisdom teeth?
Delaying removal can lead to infection, pain, damage to nearby teeth, or cyst formation. Early intervention often results in easier procedures and faster recovery.
