Wisdom Tooth Removal

Wisdom Tooth Removal in Dubai

Wisdom teeth, the third set of molars that typically emerge in the late teens or early twenties, do not always have enough room to grow in properly. When they come in at an angle, get stuck beneath the gum, or crowd neighbouring teeth, they are described as impacted, and removal is usually recommended. At White Swan Dental Clinic in Business Bay, we carry out wisdom tooth extractions for patients across Dubai, from straightforward extractions to more involved impacted cases.

Signs You May Need Wisdom Tooth Removal

  • Pain or tenderness at the back of the jaw
  • Swelling or redness of the gum around the back molar
  • Difficulty fully opening your mouth
  • Crowding or shifting of nearby teeth
  • Repeated infections in the gum tissue around a partially erupted wisdom tooth
Not every wisdom tooth needs to come out. Some erupt fully, align properly and cause no problems at all. Your dentist will assess this with an X-ray, which shows the position and angle of the tooth beneath the gum and roots, before recommending removal.

The Wisdom Tooth Removal Procedure

  • Local anaesthetic is used to numb the tooth and surrounding tissue, with additional sedation options available for more complex cases
  • For a simple extraction, the tooth is gently loosened and removed
  • For an impacted tooth, a small incision may be needed to access the tooth, which may be sectioned into smaller pieces for easier removal
  • The extraction site is cleaned and, where needed, closed with dissolvable stitches
  • You are given clear aftercare instructions before leaving the clinic
Straightforward extractions are usually completed within 20 to 40 minutes, while impacted teeth can take longer depending on their position.

What Affects Wisdom Tooth Removal Cost in Dubai

Wisdom tooth removal cost in Dubai depends on several factors that vary from patient to patient:

  • Whether the tooth is fully erupted or impacted beneath the gum or bone
  • How many wisdom teeth need to be removed in the same visit
  • Whether sedation beyond local anaesthetic is required
  • The complexity of the tooth’s position relative to nearby nerves and teeth

Because impacted extractions are more involved than simple ones, pricing is confirmed after an X-ray and examination rather than quoted as a flat rate online. Your dentist will walk you through the recommended approach and an itemised cost estimate before booking your procedure.

Recovery After Wisdom Tooth Removal

  • Mild swelling and discomfort for two to three days is normal and manageable with recommended pain relief
  • Stick to soft foods for the first few days and avoid using a straw, which can dislodge the healing blood clot
  • Rest for the first 24 hours and avoid strenuous exercise for a few days
  • Gently rinse with warm salt water after the first day to keep the area clean
  • Contact the clinic if you notice worsening pain, fever or unusual swelling after a few days

F.A.Q : Wisdom Tooth Removal

No. Wisdom teeth that erupt fully, align correctly and do not cause crowding or pain can often be left in place, monitored with routine checkups.
The procedure itself is performed under local anaesthetic, so you should not feel pain during removal. Some soreness during recovery is normal and typically improves within a few days.
Most patients feel back to normal within three to five days, though full healing of the gum tissue can take a couple of weeks.
Cost depends on whether the tooth is impacted, how many teeth are removed and whether sedation is needed. An accurate quote is provided after your dental examination and X-ray.
Many patients return to light, non-strenuous work the next day, though taking a full day off to rest is generally recommended, especially for impacted extractions.
