Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth typically emerge between the ages of 17 and 25, but for many adults they remain a concern well into their thirties and beyond. In a busy professional life, it can be tempting to ignore the dull ache at the back of your jaw or the occasional swelling around your gums. The reality is that problematic wisdom teeth rarely resolve on their own.

When there is not enough room for these third molars to emerge properly, they can become impacted — trapped beneath the gum line or growing at an angle into the neighbouring tooth. This can lead to recurring infections in the surrounding gum tissue, decay in the adjacent molar that is otherwise healthy, cyst formation around the unerupted tooth, and persistent jaw discomfort that makes it difficult to concentrate during your working day.

Postponing assessment often means a straightforward situation becomes more complex over time. Teeth that could have been managed with a simple extraction may eventually require a more involved surgical approach if left unaddressed for months or years.

As a solo practitioner with over twenty years of clinical experience, Dr Leila Zamani provides a level of continuity that is difficult to find in larger group practices. She personally handles your initial assessment, performs the extraction, and sees you for follow-up — the same clinician at every stage, familiar with your history and your particular anatomy.

Located on Bourke Street in the heart of Melbourne's CBD legal precinct, the practice is set up for professionals who need to manage their dental care around demanding schedules. Appointments are structured to respect your time, and Dr Zamani provides clear, direct communication about what to expect so you can plan your recovery around work commitments.

Where a case involves significant complexity — such as deeply impacted teeth with close nerve proximity — Dr Zamani will discuss whether a referral to an oral surgeon is in your best interest. This honest, evidence-based approach ensures you always receive the most appropriate care for your situation.
