Wisdom Teeth Removal in St Kilda

Wisdom teeth are the third or final set of molars that grow during the late teens or early 20s. If your teeth are misaligned, they can put pressure on surrounding teeth and crowd the mouth, which makes it difficult for the tooth to erupt. When a wisdom tooth gets impacted due to inadequate space in the mouth, the dentists at Chapel Gate Dental can provide wisdom tooth removal. We will examine your general oral health and take an X-ray to determine the exact condition of your wisdom teeth. Based on our findings, we may recommend removal to avoid uncomfortable symptoms.
