Wisdom Tooth Removal
Wisdom teeth may fail to erupt properly because there is not enough space in the jaw, because they grow in an abnormal position or because their eruption is obstructed.
Impacted wisdom teeth can cause pain, inflammation, decay, cysts or abscesses and may also damage neighbouring teeth.
Their position can be assessed using panoramic X-rays or CBCT imaging.
Wisdom tooth removal is normally performed under local anaesthesia.
Surgical Tooth Extraction
Surgical extraction may be necessary when a tooth cannot be removed with a conventional extraction — for example because of unusually shaped roots, an impacted position, severe decay, trauma or a remaining broken root.
Root-End Surgery / Apicoectomy
An apicoectomy is performed to remove an infected root tip and surrounding inflamed tissue when conventional root canal treatment has not been sufficient to resolve the problem.
The aim is to preserve the natural tooth whenever possible.
