FAQs
Wisdom Teeth Questions, Answered
How do I know if my wisdom teeth need to be removed?
Not every wisdom tooth needs removal — some erupt fully and cause no problems. Signs that removal may be needed include recurring pain, swelling, difficulty opening your mouth, or crowding of nearby teeth. A proper exam and X-ray is the only reliable way to know for sure. For a full breakdown of causes and symptoms, see our article on wisdom teeth pain.
How much does wisdom teeth removal cost?
Extractions at The Smile Designer range from $300 to $750 per tooth, depending on complexity — for example, whether the tooth is fully erupted, partially erupted, or impacted. Your exact cost is confirmed after your exam and imaging. See our full pricing page for more detail.
What’s included in the $295 New Patient Exam?
The $295 New Patient Exam & Clean includes a comprehensive exam, X-rays (including an OPG panoramic X-ray), diagnostic photos, a full hygiene scale and polish, and fluoride — normally valued at over $475. It’s the most cost-effective way to start if you’re dealing with wisdom tooth discomfort and want a general check-up at the same time.
Is sedation available for wisdom teeth removal?
Yes. We offer in-house sedation facilities for patients who would prefer to be more relaxed during their extraction. We’ll discuss whether sedation is suitable for you as part of your treatment plan.
Will I need a CBCT scan?
Not every patient needs one, but for more complex or impacted cases, we offer on-site CBCT scanning for a detailed 3D view of the tooth’s position relative to nerves, sinuses, and surrounding bone. Our team will let you know if this additional imaging is recommended for your case.
How long does recovery take after wisdom teeth removal?
Recovery time varies depending on the complexity of the extraction, but most patients can expect some swelling and discomfort for a few days, with full healing typically taking one to two weeks. We’ll give you clear aftercare instructions to support a smooth recovery.
Do you treat patients from Thornbury, Northcote, Coburg, and Reservoir?
Yes — we’re based in South Preston and welcome patients from across Melbourne’s Inner North, including Thornbury, Northcote, Coburg, and Reservoir, for wisdom teeth assessment and removal.
