Wisdom Teeth Removal at St Ives Smiles

Wisdom teeth bothering you? At St Ives Smiles, we evaluate and diagnose potential issues with wisdom teeth early, usually between the ages of 18-21. Some people have enough space to keep their wisdom teeth, while others may need them removed due to misalignment or decay. We use full mouth X-rays to assess the position and health of your wisdom teeth, helping decide the best course of action, whether it’s removal in our clinic under local anaesthesia or a referral to an Oral Surgeon.
