Affordable Wisdom Teeth Removal Melbourne

Pain after any normal tooth extraction is common and completely expected. Usually, pain after surgery may last up to two weeks, and therefore, it is highly recommended that you follow the guidelines for recovery that your dentist sets for you. This usually includes taking pain medication when necessary, eating soft foods, and ensuring that your mouth is kept in good condition to allow the wound to heal completely.

Just like a normal tooth extraction, pain after wisdom teeth removal can last up to two weeks. However, you may feel as though you’re having difficulty opening your mouth or experiencing pain or stiffness of the jaw joint. This is completely normal for wisdom teeth removal surgeries and will ease over time. With this type of tooth extraction, you will likely have swelling and mild discomfort for three days or do – and it will take a few weeks for it to completely heal.

The cost of tooth extraction is completely dependent on the individual case. Generally, a simple tooth extraction can cost anywhere from $220 to $400 – and maybe more if general anaesthesia or sedation is needed. However, the cost of getting your wisdom tooth removed can be much higher. In Australia, a simple removal using local anaesthetic for all four teeth can cost up to $2,000, with general anaesthetic being higher than that. At The Smile Designer, we believe in keeping our prices affordable for everyone, and therefore, we’re happy to discuss costs and other details with you in person through a one on one consultation session.

An hour after your surgery, you’re able to remove the gauze sponges which our dentists will place in your mouth to stop the bleeding and have something to eat. However, the foods must be soft for the first 24 hours after surgery. It’s also recommended that you avoid eating hot foods and drinks for a few hours after surgery and that you do not drink from a straw for the first 24 hours. It’s important to ease yourself back into a normal diet when you feel comfortable doing so and not to put any strain on your removal wounds.

Stick to eating soft, easy to chew foods such as yoghurt, pudding, jelly, and ice cream. Eventually, you can start to eat some soft hot foods like mash potatoes or blended soups. Avoid any hard items or anything that will irritate the extraction wound. For more information on what to eat after a wisdom tooth extraction, talk to our dentists today. We’re happy to discuss any procedure expectations and recovery processes.

After your wisdom teeth removal surgery, you must wait at least one hour before you can remove your gauze sponge and have something soft to eat. It’s important to stick to soft foods for the first day after surgery as your wounds are still incredibly sensitive and should be irritated. Eventually, as you become more comfortable, you can start to incorporate other solid foods into your diet until you’re back to a normal, everyday regimen.

Getting rid of the numbness you feel after getting your wisdom teeth removal comes down to time. You must remain patient, and the numbness will wear off. There’s nothing you can do to speed up the process, however, you can take your mind off the feeling by sleeping or involving yourself with other activities. The numbness you feel won’t last long and will gradually disappear with time.

Usually, wisdom teeth removal surgery will take 45 minutes or less. However, the length of your surgery will depend on how many wisdom teeth are being extracted and how complicated the case is. In some instanced, the wisdom teeth need to be broken into pieces before they are removed, and therefore, this procedure takes longer than if the teeth were to be extracted in their original condition. At The Smile Designer, we are committed to performing an efficient wisdom tooth removal process that is guaranteed to provide the desired results.

After wisdom teeth removal surgery, it can take up to 2 weeks for your wounds to fully recover and heal. During this time, you may experience swollen cheeks and mouth. Gradually, this feeling will start to disappear, and the functionality of your mouth will start to improve. To speed up the healing process or reduce swelling, you can gently press a cold cloth to your face, which may bring you more comfort.
