What are
wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth are your third and final set of molars, typically coming through in the late teens or early twenties. Most people don’t have enough room in their jaw to accommodate them, so they often become ‘impacted’ (wedged in), which can cause pain, infection, and damage to neighbouring teeth.
Not everyone needs their wisdom teeth removed, and we’ll always let you know honestly whether extraction is the right call for you.

Why trust Lang Lang Dental with your wisdom teeth removal?
Our oral surgeon, Dr Naser Albarbari (MSc, MOMS Glasgow, FDS England, FDS Edinburgh), is a registered specialist in Australia with extensive experience removing wisdom teeth, including complex impacted cases. He works alongside our general dental team, including Dr Rhadika Suntharendran (DDS) and Dr Roseanne Yew (BSc DDS), giving you access to a full range of dental expertise under one roof.
Lang Lang Dental is part of the My Dentist Network, one of Melbourne’s largest and most experienced dental groups.
Why do I need to have my wisdom teeth removed?
Not all wisdom teeth have to be removed. Usually, the decision to recommend the extraction of wisdom teeth is made when there are symptoms (inflamed gums, swelling, pain), pathology (e.g., a cyst) or if a wisdom tooth is partially erupted (when part of the crown of the tooth has come through the gum, but not all of it). This is because partially erupted wisdom teeth are non-functional but very difficult to keep clean, which often leads to gum inflammation or decay.
The decision to recommend having your wisdom teeth removed will be assessed by an examination and x-ray, though ultimately this decision is yours.

FAQs
Do I need my wisdom teeth removed?
Not necessarily. Removal is usually recommended when wisdom teeth are causing symptoms, are partially erupted, or show signs of pathology. Your dentist will assess your situation with an examination and an X-ray.
What is the best age for wisdom teeth removal?
Earlier is generally better. Removal in the late teens or early twenties is preferred because:
- The roots are not yet fully formed
- The surrounding bone is less dense
- Recovery tends to be quicker
As patients get older, the procedure can become more involved.
How much does wisdom teeth removal cost in Lang Lang?
Costs range from $550 per tooth when performed by our specialist oral surgeon. We offer interest-free payment plans starting from $42 a week over 12 months for all four wisdom teeth, with a full quote provided before any treatment begins.
Can I have my wisdom teeth removed under sedation?
Yes. We offer IV sedation for patients who prefer to be relaxed during the procedure, available in-clinic, so there’s no need to travel to a hospital or day surgery.
What is a wisdom tooth emergency?
If a wisdom tooth causes sudden pain or signs of infection, contact us as soon as possible. Our team will assess your situation and advise on the most appropriate next steps.
Is wisdom teeth removal covered by health funds?
