Wisdom Teeth Removal in Lynbrook
Are your wisdom teeth causing you pain or discomfort? Lynbrook Dental Care offers wisdom teeth removal for patients across Lynbrook, Hallam, Hampton Park, and Berwick. Our registered specialist oral surgeon performs extractions in-clinic, with sedation options available.
What are
wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth are the 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’ (stuck and unable to fully erupt), which can lead to pain, swelling, infection, and damage to surrounding teeth.
Not everyone needs their wisdom teeth out, and at Lynbrook Dental Care, we’ll always give you a straightforward assessment of what’s right for you.

Why Trust Lynbrook Dental Care with Your Wisdom Teeth?
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. He works alongside our general dental team, including Dr Sanjana Illango (BDS) and Dr Chris Ngo (DDS), bringing together specialist and general dental expertise for your care.
Lynbrook Dental Care is part of the My Dentist Network, one of Melbourne’s largest and most experienced dental groups.
The decision to recommend having your wisdom teeth removed will be assessed by an examination and x-ray, though ultimately this decision is yours.
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 recommendation to remove your wisdom teeth will always be based on a thorough examination and X-ray, but ultimately, this decision is yours.

What is the process of getting your wisdom teeth removed?
1
Initial Consultation
Your Lynbrook dentist will assess your wisdom teeth, take relevant X-rays (including an OPG), discuss your anaesthetic options, and go through the risks and any pre-surgery medications.
2
Removal of wisdom teeth
Our oral surgeon will carefully remove whichever wisdom teeth need to come out. The procedure is performed under either local anaesthetic or IV sedation, and you’ll leave with clear instructions to look after the healing sites.

Recovery and Aftercare
We provide detailed post-operative care instructions, and our team at Lynbrook Dental Care is available if you have any questions during your recovery. A follow-up appointment can be arranged if needed.
All treatment carries risks. Individual consultations are required with one of our practitioners to ensure that the treatment is right for you. Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.

FAQs
Do I need my wisdom teeth removed?
Not necessarily. Wisdom teeth removal is usually recommended when:
- There are symptoms such as pain, swelling, or an inflamed gum
- A wisdom tooth is partially erupted and difficult to keep clean
- Signs of pathology are present, such as a cyst
Your dentist will assess your situation and let you know.
What is the best age for wisdom teeth removal?
In most cases, the earlier the better. Removal in the late teens or early twenties tends to be more straightforward, as the roots aren’t yet fully formed and recovery is generally quicker. It’s worth getting a consultation sooner rather than later.
How much does wisdom teeth removal cost in Lynbrook?
Costs range from $550 per tooth when performed by our specialist oral surgeon, with interest-free payment plans starting from $42 a week over 12 months for all four wisdom teeth. You’ll receive a full quote before any treatment begins.
Do you offer sedation for wisdom teeth removal in Lynbrook?
Yes. IV sedation is available in-clinic at Lynbrook Dental Care for patients who’d prefer to be relaxed during the procedure.
What counts as a wisdom tooth emergency?
If you’re experiencing sudden or severe pain, swelling, or signs of infection around a wisdom tooth, please contact us as soon as you can. We’ll assess your situation and advise on next steps.
Does health insurance cover wisdom teeth removal?
Cover varies between funds and levels of cover. Lynbrook Dental Care accepts all major health funds and is a preferred provider for HCF, Medibank, NIB, and Bupa. We’d recommend checking with your fund before your appointment.
