Wisdom tooth extraction in Abu Dhabi
Wisdom teeth often come through at an angle or stay trapped in the jaw, which can cause pain, swelling, infection or damage to the tooth in front. At Aesthetic Dental Center, wisdom tooth removal and other minor oral surgery, including impacted extractions, are done in the chair under local anaesthetic.

Step by step
How wisdom tooth removal works at the clinic
- 01
Examination and OPG scan
An OPG scan shows the position of the tooth, its roots and the nearby nerve, so the extraction can be planned.
- 02
Local anaesthetic
The area is fully numbed before anything starts.
- 03
Removal
The tooth is removed, sometimes in sections if it is impacted, and the site is stitched if needed.
- 04
Aftercare
You are given written aftercare instructions and a follow-up if one is needed.
- Visits
- One appointment for the extraction, sometimes with a short review afterwards.
- Recovery
- Swelling and discomfort usually peak within the first two to three days and then settle. Soft food, rest and following the aftercare advice help healing.
- Worth knowing
- Not every wisdom tooth needs to come out. If yours is healthy and causing no problems, you will be told so.
- Fees
- Fees depend on what the examination finds. You receive the cost as part of your treatment plan after the consultation, before anything is agreed.

Wisdom teeth and oral surgery: common questions
Does wisdom tooth removal hurt?
It is done under local anaesthetic, so you should feel pressure rather than pain. Extractions are one of the treatments patients most often describe as painless.
Can you remove impacted wisdom teeth?
Yes. Impacted extractions are done in the chair under local anaesthetic, planned from an OPG scan.
How long is recovery after a wisdom tooth extraction?
Most people feel much better within a few days. Swelling usually peaks around day two or three and then settles.
Do all wisdom teeth need to be removed?
No. Healthy, well positioned wisdom teeth can stay. Removal is recommended when they cause pain, infection or damage.
