At DentiCare, your trusted dentist in North Dublin, we provide safe and effective wisdom tooth removal when these back molars cause discomfort, crowding, or infection.
Wisdom teeth often erupt in your late teens or early twenties. Sometimes they grow in properly — but more often, they’re impacted, misaligned, or only partially emerge, which can lead to pain or infection.
Our experienced team will assess your unique situation and recommend the best course of action. If removal is needed, we’ll ensure the procedure is as smooth and pain-free as possible.
Proper care after surgery helps you heal faster and prevents complications. Here’s what to expect:
Pain: Some soreness is normal. We’ll provide pain relief instructions and check in with you post-procedure.
Diet: Stick to soft, non-irritating foods for the first few days, then gradually return to your regular diet.
Our team at DentiCare — your experienced dentist in Dublin — is here to make your wisdom teeth removal as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
Wisdom teeth removal is a dental procedure to extract one or more of your four wisdom teeth — the large teeth at the back corners of your mouth. You might need this procedure if your wisdom teeth are impacted, causing pain, infection, or other dental problems.
Common signs include pain, swelling, jaw stiffness, and difficulty opening your mouth. However, some people may not experience symptoms, making regular dental check-ups essential. Our team at Denticare can help determine if you need this procedure through a detailed dental examination and X-rays.
Our process includes a consultation, X-ray examination, and a detailed explanation of the procedure. The removal itself involves numbing the area, gently extracting the tooth, and providing aftercare instructions. We ensure a comfortable and pain-free experience for all our patients.
Recovery varies by individual but typically takes a few days to a week. We provide comprehensive aftercare instructions and support to ensure a smooth recovery. It’s important to follow all guidelines and attend follow-up appointments if necessary.
Many dental insurance plans cover wisdom teeth removal. We recommend checking with your provider. At Denticare, we also offer several payment and financing options to accommodate our patients.
On the day of your procedure, you will take medications to help minimize post-operative pain and swelling. We ask that a parent or responsible adult accompanies you to the office, where they must remain during the entire procedure and they should plan on staying with you the rest of the day. Your procedure will take about an hour and you will probably be in the office for 1 ½ -2 hours. Our surgical assistants will review your post-operative instructions. When you leave the office you will be comfortable and drowsy. Most patients prefer to go home and rest with no other physical or scholastic activities planned for a few days.
Prior to your appointment, we’ll provide you with a list of preparation steps, which may include fasting, arranging for transportation, and avoiding certain medications. Our team is here to guide you through every step.
As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks, including dry socket, infection, and nerve damage. However, these are rare, and our skilled dental team takes every precaution to minimise risks.
We’re your trusted choice for affordable and high-quality dental care.
