What Is Wisdom Tooth Removal?
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last set of molars to erupt at the back of the mouth, typically between the ages of 17 and 25. When there is insufficient space in the jaw or the teeth grow in unusual positions, they can cause pain, infection, crowding, and other dental complications. In these situations, extraction is often the recommended course of action. At The Dome MedDental Clinic, both simple and complex wisdom tooth extractions are performed under one roof by an internationally trained oral surgery team.
When Is Wisdom Tooth Extraction Recommended?
Our oral surgery team at The Dome MedDental Clinic will recommend extraction when one or more of the following conditions apply:
- Your wisdom tooth is impacted and lacks sufficient space to erupt fully, causing pain, swelling, or infection.
- It is causing crowding, placing pressure on neighbouring teeth and leading to misalignment.
- The tooth is only partially erupted, making cleaning difficult and increasing the risk of decay and gum disease.
- Cysts or infections have developed around the tooth, threatening surrounding teeth and tissue.
- The wisdom tooth is contributing to sinus problems, such as pain or congestion.
- The tooth has decay that cannot be restored due to its position in the mouth.
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, a consultation with our team is the appropriate first step.
How Does the Procedure Work?
Depending on the difficulty of the case, the procedure can last anywhere from 15 minutes to one hour. Simple cases are typically completed in a single session under local anaesthesia. Where the situation involves complex surgery or the removal of multiple teeth, our Oral Maxillofacial Surgeons are able to perform the procedure under general anaesthesia, ensuring your comfort and safety throughout.
Following the procedure, it is normal to experience slight bleeding for a few hours, along with some swelling and discomfort that generally subsides within a few days. These effects can be managed with prescribed or over-the-counter pain medications. The team will provide detailed post-operative care instructions covering oral hygiene and dietary guidance to support a smooth recovery. The clinic recommends planning for one to three days of rest after your procedure.
Why Choose The Dome MedDental Clinic?

Who Is a Candidate for Wisdom Tooth Removal?
Candidacy is determined on an individual basis during a clinical consultation. Patients who are experiencing impaction, recurrent infection, crowding, decay in a wisdom tooth, or related sinus or gum problems are typically assessed as candidates for extraction. Those whose wisdom teeth have erupted fully, are correctly positioned, and can be cleaned effectively may not require removal. Our team will evaluate your specific situation through examination and, where appropriate, imaging before recommending a course of action.
What Does Wisdom Tooth Removal Cost?
The Dome MedDental Clinic does not publish fixed prices for wisdom tooth extraction, as the cost depends on the complexity of each individual case, the type of anaesthesia required, and the number of teeth involved. All fees are confirmed at your consultation, where the team will outline a personalised treatment plan and associated costs before any work proceeds. The clinic currently offers complimentary consultations, which you can book via the website or by phone.
