Wisdom Tooth Removal in Shepperton
Feeling discomfort or tenderness in your gums and jaw? At Confident Smile — your friendly dentist on Shepperton High Street — we offer calm, judgment-free wisdom tooth removal with sedation options.
What is wisdom tooth removal?
Relief from pain caused by impacted wisdom teeth
Wisdom teeth normally come through between the ages of 17 and 25. Sometimes there simply isn't enough room in the mouth, and they become impacted in the gums — which can cause gum infections, decay and jaw discomfort. If you're feeling pain, we recommend booking a consultation.
Often we can carry out wisdom tooth removal in Shepperton at the practice; occasionally more complex cases are best referred to an oral surgeon. Your dentist will assess your wisdom teeth and talk through every option before anything is booked.
Expert assessment
We evaluate whether removal, monitoring or referral is right for you.
Calm & unhurried
A judgment-free chair-side manner from consultation to recovery.
Sedation available
IV sedation and gentle numbing options for anxious patients.
Clear aftercare
