What Happens During Wisdom Teeth Removal at Bradbury Dental?

WHere is what the process looks like from start to finish at our Campbelltown practice:

✅ Initial Consultation and X-Rays: Your dentist will examine the area, take X-rays (usually an OPG), and discuss what they find. This wisdom teeth check up helps us determine the exact position of your teeth and plan the safest approach. You will know straight away whether the tooth can be removed in our chair or if you'd benefit from a referral to an oral surgeon for complex cases.

✅ Anaesthesia and Sedation Options: For most wisdom tooth extractions in Campbelltown, local anaesthetic is all you need. You'll be completely numb in the area but awake and aware. If you're anxious or if the extraction is more involved, we offer IV sedation (sleep dentistry) so you can be relaxed and comfortable throughout the procedure.

✅ The Extraction: For a fully erupted wisdom tooth, the process is similar to any other tooth extraction. Your dentist loosens the tooth and removes it with forceps. Takes about 20 minutes for a straightforward case. Removing wisdom teeth that are fully visible is one of the most routine procedures we do.

For impacted wisdom teeth, a small incision in the gum may be needed. Sometimes the tooth is sectioned (cut into smaller pieces) so it can be removed without disturbing too much surrounding bone. Your dentist will place dissolvable stitches to close the area.

✅ Post-Op Instructions: Before you leave, you'll get clear instructions on managing pain, swelling, and what to eat. We don't send you home guessing. Our reception team will also book a follow-up if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

A straightforward extraction of a single erupted wisdom tooth usually takes about 20 to 30 minutes from start to finish. Surgical removal of an impacted tooth may take 30 to 45 minutes. If you're having multiple teeth removed in one sitting, plan for 1 to 2 hours total.
At Bradbury Dental Surgery, we use Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) with EMS Airflow technology, which is considerably more comfortable than traditional scaling. Most patients describe it as a warm, gentle spray. You might feel slight sensitivity in areas with heavy tartar buildup, but it's nothing like the scraping sensation associated with older methods.
At Bradbury Dental Surgery, a simple wisdom tooth extraction starts from around $250 per tooth depending on complexity. IV sedation is an additional cost if required.
Dry socket (alveolar osteitis) happens when the blood clot that forms in the extraction site gets dislodged or dissolves too early, leaving the bone exposed. It causes a deep, throbbing pain that usually starts 2 to 4 days after extraction. To reduce your risk: don't smoke for at least 72 hours after surgery, avoid using straws, don't rinse your mouth vigorously for 24 hours, and follow all the post-op instructions we give you.
It depends on the complexity of the extraction and your job. For a simple single-tooth extraction, many patients feel well enough to return to desk work the next day. If you had multiple teeth removed or a surgical extraction, we recommend taking 2 to 3 days off. If your job involves physical labour, allow at least 3 to 5 days. Avoid strenuous exercise for a week after surgery.
No referral is needed. You can get wisdom teeth removed with Bradbury Dental Surgery by calling (02) 4628 2151 or booking online through HealthEngine. We will do a full assessment at your first appointment and let you know the best path forward.
Some cases (like deep bony impaction close to a nerve) are better handled by a specialist oral surgeon under general anaesthetic in a hospital. If that's the case for you, we will tell you upfront and arrange a referral. We have a fast referral system with trusted local oral surgeons in the Campbelltown and Macarthur area.
If you have private health insurance with dental extras, you will typically get a rebate for wisdom teeth extraction. The amount depends on your policy level. We process all major health funds on the spot through HICAPS, so you only pay the gap. If you're unsure about your coverage, bring your health fund card to the consultation and we'll check for you.
