Wisdom Teeth Removal at Liv & Harley Street Hospital

Ready for Comfortable, Expert Care?

What is Wisdom Teeth Removal ?

Wisdom teeth removal is a minor surgical procedure to extract one or more third molars at the very back of your mouth. When these teeth grow in crooked, stay trapped beneath the gum (impacted) or crowd neighbouring teeth, they can trigger pain, infection and long-term bite problems. Taking them out early prevents bigger issues later—often in a single, 30-minute visit.

Don’t let troublesome wisdom teeth threaten your smile. Book a consultation at Liv & Harley Street Hospital’s Oral & Maxillofacial Clinic and take the first step toward lasting relief and a healthier mouth.

Who Should Have It?

Pain or swelling around partially erupted wisdom teeth.
Gum or cheek infections (pericoronitis) that keep returning.
Crowding or damage to adjacent molars detected on X-ray.
Cysts, tumours or decay forming around impacted teeth.
Orthodontic patients where extra space is needed to keep teeth aligned.

Who Can Take It?

Healthy teens and adults—ideal removal age is 17-25 before roots fully harden.
Patients whose wisdom teeth are visible, partially erupted, or fully impacted.
Non-smokers or those willing to stop during healing for better outcomes.

Who Might Need to Delay?

Uncontrolled systemic disease (e.g., severe heart, uncontrolled diabetes).
Active infection at the extraction site—treated first, then rescheduled.
First-trimester pregnancy unless the tooth is causing acute danger.
Known bleeding disorders or immune deficiencies without prior clearance.
