Wisdom Teeth Assessment & Extraction in Brisbane

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, typically emerge during the late teens or early twenties. At Brisbane Smile Boutique, we provide high-level assessment, monitoring and treatment of wisdom teeth — from diagnosis to surgical extraction — with a focus on safety, precision and patient comfort.

Common Issues

  • Impacted wisdom teeth due to lack of space
  • Pain, swelling and inflammation
  • Recurrent gum infections (pericoronitis)
  • Pressure leading to crowding or misalignment
  • Formation of cysts or decay in adjacent teeth

Assessment & Imaging

We utilise digital OPG X-rays to evaluate the position of your wisdom teeth, identify impactions, and assess proximity to nerves. This technology enables precise planning for safe and effective removal.

Signs You May Need Extraction

  • Recurring pain or jaw discomfort
  • Redness, swelling or difficulty opening the mouth
  • Food trapping or bad taste around back teeth
  • Advice from your orthodontist
