Wisdom tooth extraction: how does it work?
Wisdom tooth extraction involves carefully removing one or more third molars that are causing pain, overcrowding, or infection. At Archway Dental Group, we begin with a thorough assessment, including digital x-rays to evaluate the position of the teeth. During the procedure, we use local anaesthesia or sedation to ensure a pain-free experience. Our skilled team removes the tooth with precision, taking extra care to minimise discomfort and promote a smooth recovery.

At Archway Dental Group, we provide transparent pricing during your consultation and offer flexible finance options to make the procedure accessible.
