A wisdom tooth doesn't automatically need removing, but if it's causing pain, infection, or damage to a neighbouring tooth, having it taken out at Jamil Dental on Hirwaun's High Street is usually the sensible option. Our team uses up-to-date techniques to keep the procedure as straightforward as possible and help you recover quickly.

Being the last teeth to come through, wisdom teeth often find there isn't enough space waiting for them. That can lead to pain, swelling, recurring infection, harm to the tooth next door, or a spot that's simply difficult to keep clean. Following a thorough check-up, we'll let you know whether it's best to keep an eye on things or go ahead with removal. Some situations call for extra imaging first. Where a CT scan would help clarify exactly how the tooth sits relative to nearby nerves and structures, we arrange this free of charge, so your treatment can be planned as safely and precisely as possible.
We examine the wisdom tooth, talk through your symptoms, and agree together whether extraction is the sensible next step.
We take whatever imaging is needed to assess the tooth, and if a CT scan turns out to be clinically necessary, it's provided free so we can plan the procedure safely.
We remove the tooth gently under local anaesthetic. For more complex cases, or if you're feeling anxious, IV sedation is also available for anyone 18 or over.
You'll go home with clear aftercare instructions to ease any discomfort and reduce the chance of complications while you heal.

Nobody likes a surprise bill, us included — every plan is set out in writing up front, so there's nothing unexpected waiting for you at reception.

Not at all — plenty of wisdom teeth cause no trouble at all and can be left well alone. We'd only suggest removal where there's a genuine clinical reason, such as pain, repeated infection, decay, or damage to the neighbouring tooth.
Not always. Where your dentist thinks a CT scan would help pinpoint the tooth's position or how close it sits to nerves, we provide one free of charge before going ahead.
The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, so you shouldn't feel any pain during it. Mild soreness afterwards is entirely normal and usually settles with the guidance and medication we recommend.
Yes — IV conscious sedation is available for suitable patients aged 18 and above, helping you stay calm throughout treatment, and it's charged separately from the extraction.
Most patients feel back to normal within a few days, though trickier extractions can take a little longer. We'll give you full aftercare advice to help healing along as much as possible.
Stick to soft foods for the first day or two and steer clear of very hot food, alcohol and smoking. We'll go through complete aftercare instructions before you leave.
