Wisdom Teeth Removal

How we assess your wisdom teeth

The most important part of wisdom tooth surgery happens before anyone picks up an instrument. A standard X-ray shows a tooth's position, but it cannot tell you how close the roots sit to the nerve running through the lower jaw, or to the sinus floor above the upper molars. That is why we start with a 3D CBCT scan: it maps those structures precisely, so your surgeon knows the exact angle, depth, and safest path before your appointment begins. At your free first consultation on the 22nd floor of Burj Al Salam Tower — a five-minute walk from World Trade Centre Metro — you will see your own scan on screen and get a straight recommendation: remove now, monitor, or leave well alone.

Do all four really need to come out?

Honestly, no. A fully erupted wisdom tooth that bites properly and can be cleaned is often worth keeping. Removal earns its place when a tooth is partially trapped under a gum flap that keeps getting inflamed, when decay has started in a spot no toothbrush can reach, when imaging shows a cyst forming around the crown, or when the tooth is pressing into the molar in front of it. Because the roots are still developing in the late teens and early twenties, extractions tend to be more straightforward at that age — one more reason an early assessment pays off even before symptoms appear.

Your comfort options

IV sedation at Paradise Dental is administered by a licensed anesthetist, as DHA regulation requires — you will need someone to accompany you home afterward. For impacted teeth sitting close to the nerve, we can use piezosurgery, an ultrasonic technique that removes bone with fine precision while staying gentler on the surrounding soft tissue than conventional rotary instruments.

Recovery & aftercare in Dubai

The first 24 hours are about protecting the blood clot in the socket: no rinsing, no straws, no smoking, no spitting. Swelling usually peaks around day two or three and then settles; cold compresses and the medication plan we send you home with keep it manageable. Two Dubai-specific notes: stay well hydrated in the heat, but drink from a glass rather than a straw — suction can dislodge the clot and trigger a painful dry socket. And skip the gym, beach runs, and outdoor work in the sun for three to four days, since raised blood pressure and heavy sweating both work against healing. Many office-based professionals book a Thursday or Friday afternoon slot and are back at their desk after the weekend. Your review visit and post-operative support are part of the treatment, not an extra.

Cost & insurance in Dubai

The fee depends on what the scan shows: a simple upper extraction is a different procedure from a deeply impacted lower tooth wrapped near the nerve, and your sedation choice, the number of teeth removed in one visit, and any socket preservation also shape the total. You receive a fixed written quote after your scan — before you commit to anything — and you can compare treatments on our transparent price list. Many Dubai insurance plans cover medically necessary wisdom tooth surgery; we bill Daman, AXA, Cigna, Bupa Global, Allianz Care, Oman Insurance, Neuron, Nextcare, and Mednet directly and handle the pre-approval paperwork for you, while MetLife works on reimbursement. Prefer to spread the cost? Interest-free instalments are available through Tabby, Tamara, and Postpay. Book your free consultation and get a clear answer on where your wisdom teeth stand.
