WISDOM TEETH EXTRACTION

Bone Grafting

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last set of teeth to appear—usually emerging in the late teens or early twenties. For many people, there isn’t enough space in the mouth for them to grow properly. This can lead to problems such as pain, crowding, infection, or damage to nearby teeth.

Why Wisdom Teeth Are Removed

Not everyone needs their wisdom teeth extracted, but removal may be recommended if:

•The teeth are impacted (trapped in the gums or jawbone).

•They are growing at an angle, pressing against other teeth.

•There is swelling, infection, or gum disease in the area.

•Cavities develop in hard-to-reach wisdom teeth.

•They are causing jaw pain, cysts, or repeated discomfort.

What to Expect During the Procedure

At our clinic, your comfort is always our priority. Before extraction, we’ll take X-rays to plan your treatment carefully. The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, and sedation options may also be available if you feel anxious. Our dental team will ensure you feel relaxed and fully informed at each step.

Recovery and Aftercare

Most patients recover within a few days. Some swelling or soreness is normal, and we’ll provide clear aftercare instructions to help with healing—such as rest, soft foods, and keeping the area clean. We’re always available if you have any questions or concerns during your recovery.

Bone Grafting

A healthy jawbone is the foundation for strong teeth and long-lasting dental restorations. Sometimes, when a tooth has been missing for a while or the bone has naturally thinned, there may not be enough bone to support a dental implant or maintain oral health. In these cases, a bone graft can help rebuild and strengthen the area.

Why Bone Grafting Is Needed

Bone grafting may be recommended if:

•You are planning to get a dental implant but don’t have enough bone support.

•You’ve experienced bone loss after a tooth extraction.

•Gum disease has caused jawbone shrinkage.

•You want to preserve your facial structure and prevent further bone deterioration.

How the Procedure Works

During a bone graft, a small amount of grafting material is placed in the area where the bone is lacking. Over time, your body naturally replaces this material with new, healthy bone. This creates a stable foundation for future treatments, such as implants.

The procedure is carried out with your comfort in mind, using local anaesthetic and sedation options if needed. Our team will guide you through the process and ensure you feel fully supported at every stage.

Recovery and Healing

Healing time can vary depending on the size of the graft, but most patients experience only mild discomfort that can be managed with simple aftercare. Over the following months, the graft will integrate with your natural bone, creating a stronger, healthier foundation for your smile.

Restoring Confidence in Your Smile

Bone grafting is an important step toward restoring both function and appearance. By strengthening your jawbone, we make it possible for you to enjoy reliable, long-term results from treatments like dental implants.

Snoring Devices

A snoring device (oral appliance) is a small, custom-made mouthpiece worn during sleep to reduce or stop snoring. It works by gently moving the lower jaw and tongue forward, keeping the airway open and reducing the vibrations that cause snoring.

Key Benefits

•Non-invasive, comfortable, and easy to wear

•Improves sleep quality for you and your partner

•Custom-fitted for maximum effectiveness

•Portable and simple to maintain

A snoring device offers an effective, dentist-supervised solution to help you breathe easier and enjoy quieter, more restful nights.

Night Splint

A night splint also known as a night guard is a custom-made appliance worn while you sleep. It is designed to protect your teeth and jaw from the effects of teeth grinding (bruxism) and jaw clenching, which often happen unconsciously at night.

Why a Night Splint May Be Recommended

•To prevent tooth wear, chipping, or fractures

•To reduce jaw pain, tension, or clicking (TMJ symptoms)

•To ease headaches or discomfort caused by clenching

•To protect dental work such as crowns or fillings

•To promote better, more restful sleep
