Wisdom tooth removal
Wisdom Tooth Removal at Pearl Smile Didsbury
If you are experiencing pain, swelling, recurring infections or discomfort from your wisdom teeth, Dr Chu, a dentist with a special interest in oral surgery at Pearl Smile Didsbury, can assess your wisdom teeth and discuss the most appropriate treatment.
During your consultation, we will examine the tooth and may take dental X-rays to assess its position and determine whether removal is necessary. We will explain the procedure and answer any questions before treatment.
What happens during wisdom tooth removal?
Depending on the position and complexity of the tooth, removal may be straightforward or require a surgical extraction. Local anaesthetic is used to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure.
For impacted or more complex wisdom teeth, a small incision may be made in the gum and, where necessary, the tooth may be divided into sections for safe removal. Dissolvable stitches may be placed to support healing.
After your wisdom tooth removal
You will receive clear aftercare advice on managing discomfort, eating, brushing and caring for the extraction site. Some swelling and tenderness are normal following surgical removal and usually improve over the following days.

“I had toothache and booked an emergency dental appointment 2 days ago. Dr Michael Chu attended my case. Dr Chu examined my tooth meticulously and explained my tooth’s situation in details. After considering all factors, I decided to request Dr. Chu to extract the tooth for me. The whole process was carried out with care and professionally. Thanks to Dr Chu’s skills so that recovered quickly after a day’s rest!”
