Simple Dental Surgery

Wisdom teeth removal may become necessary for Mildura residents due to several reasons, including infection around the wisdom tooth or severely decayed wisdom teeth, crowding of other teeth requiring orthodontic treatment, the formation of cysts, damage to adjacent molars, or severe pain. At Deakin Dental in Mildura, our dentists will assess your individual situation and recommend extraction if it’s the best course of action for your oral health.

At Deakin Dental in Mildura, we strive to make your wisdom tooth removal as comfortable as possible. For most patients, we can perform the procedure under local anesthesia, often combined with anti-anxiety medication or nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to help you relax while watching TV or listening to music. For more complex cases or anxious patients in Mildura, we can also arrange for wisdom tooth removal to be done in a hospital under general anesthesia with our oral surgeon.

While the page refers to “simple” dental surgery, the complexity of wisdom tooth removal can vary. At Deakin Dental in Mildura, our experienced dentists will thoroughly evaluate your wisdom teeth through examinations and X-rays to determine the best approach. Even seemingly simple extractions are still surgical procedures, and we take all necessary precautions to ensure a safe and effective outcome for our Mildura patients.

We understand that many people feel anxious about dental surgery. At Deakin Dental in Mildura, we offer several options to help you feel more comfortable during your wisdom teeth removal.
