Wisdom teeth are the last molars to develop, and they don't always need to be removed. A dentist can assess their position and condition and advise whether monitoring, treatment or removal may be appropriate. Learn what to expect, what affects the cost and how to care for yourself afterwards — then contact our clinic in Al Rigga, Deira, Dubai.
Wisdom teeth are the third molars at the very back of the mouth. They usually develop later than other permanent teeth. Some people have enough space for them to come through normally, while others may have problems depending on their position and the space available. Not everyone develops wisdom teeth.
These signs can have other causes. Only a dentist can assess them after examining you.
Options
The dentist looks at how the tooth is positioned, whether it has fully come through and its effect on nearby teeth, then explains your options. Ask us which options are available for your case.
If a wisdom tooth isn't causing problems, the dentist may simply keep an eye on it at check-ups.
May be considered if a tooth is impacted, repeatedly causing pain or infection, or affecting nearby teeth.
The process
The dentist examines the area and usually takes an X-ray to see the tooth's position.
Your options, the procedure and the cost are explained before you decide.
Local anaesthetic numbs the tooth and surrounding area.
The tooth is removed; an impacted tooth may need a small incision.
You receive advice on healing and when to contact the clinic.
The number of visits and exact steps depend on your case and are confirmed after examination.
Cost
The cost of wisdom tooth removal depends on your tooth and the treatment it needs. We confirm the cost after examination, before any treatment begins. Message or call us to ask about the current price.
Some soreness and swelling after removal is normal and usually improves over the following days. Recovery varies from person to person.

No. Many wisdom teeth grow in without problems and can simply be monitored. Removal may be considered when a wisdom tooth is causing problems or is likely to, which the dentist assesses after examination.
Some people notice pain or tenderness at the back of the mouth, swollen or sore gums, difficulty opening the mouth, a bad taste or food getting trapped. These can have other causes too, so it's best to have them checked by a dentist.
The area is numbed with local anaesthetic before treatment, so most patients feel pressure rather than pain. Some soreness and swelling afterwards is normal and usually improves over the following days.
Recovery varies from person to person and depends on how the tooth was positioned and how it was removed. The dentist will explain what to expect for your case and give you aftercare advice.
The cost depends on the position of the tooth, whether it has fully come through or is impacted, how complex the removal is and any X-rays needed. Contact us by WhatsApp or phone to ask about the current price.
