Sleep Dentistry for Wisdom Tooth Removal

Wisdom teeth arrive at the very back of your mouth around the ages of 18 to 25. Most people don’t need or can’t support their third molars or wisdom teeth.

Sleep dentistry can be very beneficial for those undergoing wisdom teeth removal. Patients are typically more comfortable during oral surgery when they have dental sedation.

Who Needs Their Wisdom Teeth Extracted?

Dentists typically recommend that wisdom teeth be extracted for these reasons:

Crowding: Wisdom teeth can crowd neighbouring teeth if there’s insufficient space for them. This can disrupt previous orthodontic treatment that straightened the teeth and cause shifting.
Impaction: Wisdom teeth that are impacted (stuck beneath the gum line) can cause discomfort and infection and should be removed.
Damage: Wisdom teeth that come in at odd angles could cause damage to neighbouring teeth.
Cleanliness: If you can’t reach your wisdom teeth to brush and floss them properly, it increases your chances of developing problems like tooth decay, cavities, and gum disease.

Your dentist can help you determine if keeping or removing your wisdom teeth is more beneficial. If oral surgery is the right choice for you, sleep dentistry can provide a relaxing experience.

Sleep Dentistry and Oral Surgery

Sleep Dentistry Brisbane has helped hundreds of patients comfortably remove their wisdom teeth, and we can help you, too!

Dr Asad offers IV sedation or general anaesthetic (GA) in Brisbane to help patients get the dental care and treatment they need while resting peacefully. Sleep dentistry and oral surgery go hand-in-hand, as sedation can make the surgical procedure less stressful.

IV sedation delivers medication intravenously throughout your surgical procedure, so you’re still responsive but essentially feel like you’re sleeping throughout your treatment. Dr Asad provides IV sedation and treatment in several dental clinics in Brisbane and also serves the nearby communities of Logan, Gold Coast, Springwood, Bayside and Ipswich.

If you need a deeper level of sedation, Dr Asad works with two local hospitals to provide GA sedation for procedures like oral surgery and wisdom teeth extraction. GA provides a sleep-like relaxation where patients can peacefully have their treatment without stress, worry, or concern. They’ll recover in the hospital following all protocols for a same-day discharge.
