Oral Surgery

At Hill Park Dental Manurewa, we understand that the idea of having a tooth removed — especially a wisdom tooth — can feel daunting. Our experienced dentists provide gentle, precise, and pain-free extractions, helping you feel comfortable and confident throughout your treatment.

Whether it's a simple extraction or a more complex surgical case, our goal is to relieve your pain and protect your long-term oral health.

Why Wisdom Teeth Are Removed

Wisdom teeth (third molars) usually emerge in the late teens or early twenties. When there isn't enough space for them to grow properly, they can cause:

• Pain or swelling at the back of the mouth
• Gum infection or inflammation
• Damage to neighbouring teeth
• Cysts or decay in hard-to-reach areas
• Crowding of existing teeth

Early assessment and timely removal can prevent future complications and help maintain a healthy bite.

What to Expect After Your Extraction

Mild swelling or discomfort is normal for a few days after treatment, but most patients recover quickly.

• Guidance on pain relief and oral care
• Advice on what to eat and avoid during recovery
• How to prevent complications such as dry socket

We also schedule a follow-up appointment to ensure you're healing well.

Your Comfort, Our Priority

From local anaesthetic to sedation options (if required), we take every step to make your experience calm and stress-free. Our caring dentists are experienced in treating anxious patients and will explain every step so you always feel informed and supported.
