Wisdom Teeth Removal
in Tamworth

What Are Wisdom Teeth?

Wisdom teeth are teeth that are located at the back of the mouth, at the end of the rows on both upper and lower teeth. You will tend to have 4 wisdom teeth but there have been cases of having more or less. These teeth are known medically as the third molars. You will find the wisdom teeth are the last of your teeth to come through, and this can happen between the ages of 17-25 (but can happen at younger ages and older too).

When the wisdom teeth start to come through you should have the other 28 teeth through. By the time this happens, if you still have the other 28 teeth, there is a chance there may be complications as mouths are not always able to accommodate all 32 teeth any more.

When wisdom teeth are erupting they can easily be obstructed (by other teeth) if there is a lack of space in the mouth. The term for these is: impacted wisdom teeth.

Would recommend 110%. I found the clinic based on the proximity to my house and Google reviews. Extremely good experience (especially considering you’re going to the dentist office!). I was booked for an emergency visit with Dr Jesal Savania, whom I would highly recommend. I had a wisdom tooth removal, which I didn’t expect to happen on the day of the visit. I had a similar procedure done 10 years ago, which was very painful and traumatic. Dr Savania is a compassionate, professional dentist who calmed me down and he did the procedure in record time, with absolutely no pain. I came back to Dr Savania a few weeks after for a general check up – he is probably the best dentist I have been too and will definitely go back.

What Happens If They Are Impacted?

If your wisdom teeth do become impacted, they can cause problems with your health, which will mean they will need to be extracted. In some case though, impacted wisdom teeth may not need to be extracted. There are four types of impacted wisdom teeth:

Vertical Impaction

If the tooth grows straight down and hits the next tooth.

Angular (mesial) Impaction

(Mesial) – It grows at an angle facing towards the front of your mouth.

Horizontal Impaction

The tooth grows out horizontally and impacts the next tooth’s root.

Distal Impaction

It grows out away from the adjacent tooth and ends up in the wrong position.

Will I Need To Have My Wisdom Tooth Removed?

Wisdom teeth may need to be removed if:

You experience pain or discomfort
They only partially erupt (increased chance of infection)
Un-erupted teeth have a chance of developing cysts which can damage the surrounding tissue or bone

All the ladies at Ascent Dentist are so welcoming and lovely. My dentist Laura has done an amazing job whitening my teeth and providing me with composite bonding to fill in the gaps. I’m overwhelmed how lovely it looks. She really is a 5 star dentist.

Karen Sally

I am a nervous patient and recently have had a fair amount of much needed dental work carried out at Ascent dental care in Tamworth. Everyone at the practice from the women on reception to the 3 practitioners I have had treatment from have been amazing. They have all made me feel respected, reassured and safe, the care and quality of treatment from the practitioners has been excellent. They have explained everything very clearly and listened to my concerns and answered all my questions. Also, I can honestly say that the treatment has been painless. I will never look forward to visiting the dentist but I am much more reassured that I will be taken care of and my dental care is in the safest and most professional hands!

Fabienne Perron

My daughter needed braces so after reading reviews about Ascent Dental Care I decided to book a first appointment.

It was 19 months ago.

My daughter had her braces removed last month and the result is superb! It exceeded her expectation.

The care is amazing.

All staff at reception make you feel really welcome and genuinely care about the clients.

Thank you

Tracey Burchell

After having a previous bad experience with a dentist,I walked into Ascent a complete nervous wreck .From the moment I sat in reception I was calmly reassured . Had a consultation with a member of the team then walked jelly legged into see Jas.

I was reassured and talked through my options and what outcome I would wish for as well as a long term plan to improve my oral health and prolong the time of keeping my teeth before exploring other options.

I felt that at ease and comfortable that I agreed to an extraction of a wisdom tooth at this very first appointment rather than prolong to my next appointment.
Left with a huge grin on my face knowing I made the best choice coming to this dentist and looking forward to my next appointment.

Gemma Powell

A great dental practise. My retainers broke and within 30 minutes I had my retainer replaced. Very much appreciated due to going abroad next day.

Derek Giddins

Recently had a new top Denture made, the fit was superb. With my previous denture I needed to use dental fixative daily and it still would rock, but my new denture made by Julian Smith is perfect I use very little fixative and it lasts at least 48 to 72 hours now. Thank you for the quality professional service.

Paul Jacks

Visited this practice as an emergency needing a tooth extraction ( which my own dentist said they couldn’t do) saw Laura who made me feel at ease and tooth was extracted with in 20 mins at half the price I was quoted from my own dental practice.. cannot praise this practice enough for there professionalism and caring attitude. Would definately advise and recommend this practice
