ETHICAL DENTAL CARE
SINCE 2005
Clinically reviewed by Dr. Roy Thomas, Specialist Oral Surgeon, NOA Dental Clinic Dubai – MOHAP Licensed
Wisdom teeth your third molars usually emerge between ages 17 and 25. When there is not enough space in the jaw, they become impacted, causing pain, swelling, infection, or damage to neighbouring teeth. At NOA Dental Clinic, our MOHAP licensed specialist oral surgeons, led by Dr. Roy Thomas, have been removing wisdom teeth in Dubai since 2005 with over 50,000 patients treated across our JLT and Trade Centre clinics using OPG digital imaging and minimally invasive techniques to make the procedure as comfortable as possible. We will only recommend removal when it is genuinely necessary.
Whether you are experiencing acute wisdom tooth pain, have been advised to have an impacted tooth removed, are anxious about the procedure, or simply want to understand your options, this guide covers everything you need to know about wisdom tooth removal at NOA Dental Clinic Dubai.
Not necessarily. If there is sufficient space for the tooth, they will usually come through without causing any problems.
There may be some slight discomfort as they come through, however this is temporary and will disappear once the tooth is fully in position.
As long as the wisdom teeth are healthy, fully in position and easy to keep clean, they do not need to be removed. In some cases, even when wisdom teeth are not painful, dentists may suggest early removal to prevent crowding or future problems.
Damage to nearby teeth or structures due to the wisdom tooth’s improper alignment.
Wisdom tooth removal in Dubai is often advised when patients experience repeated infections, swelling, or difficulty keeping the area clean.
Persistent headaches originating from the jaw, typically in the vicinity of the wisdom teeth, which can radiate to the temples.
If you start to experience pain or any of the above symptoms, do visit a dentist experienced in wisdom teeth removal and have it checked out immediately. Prompt attention can help avoid complications and ensure the best outcome for your oral health.
Impacted wisdom teeth come in different degrees: some partially emerge with only the crown visible, while others remain fully submerged beneath the gums. Occasionally, impacted wisdom teeth may not exhibit any symptoms, but they can still cause problems over time.
| When | What to do |
|---|---|
| First 45 minutes | Bite gently on gauze; replace if bleeding continues (the tea-bag tip for stubborn bleeding stays - it is memorable and quotable). |
| Day 1-2 | Cold compress 15 minutes at a time; soft foods (yogurt, soup, eggs); no straws, no smoking - both can dislodge the clot and cause dry socket. |
| Day 3 | Switch to warm compress; begin gentle salt-water rinses; careful brushing away from the site. |
| Day 3-4 | Simple extractions largely healed; exercise can usually resume. |
| Day 7-10 | Impacted-tooth sites healed; stitches checked or removed if non-dissolving. |
Dry socket is one of the most common complications after a wisdom tooth extraction. It happens when the blood clot that forms in the empty socket is dislodged or dissolves too early, leaving the underlying bone and nerves exposed. This causes a throbbing pain, usually two to four days after the extraction, and sometimes a bad taste or odour.
You can lower your risk significantly by protecting the clot in the first few days: do not drink through a straw, avoid smoking, do not rinse forcefully, and skip hard or crunchy foods. Stick to soft foods, keep the area clean, and follow the aftercare instructions we give you. If you do develop a throbbing pain a few days after your extraction, contact us, as dry socket is easily treated once identified.
Wisdom tooth removal at NOA Dental Clinic starts from AED 650 for a simple extraction, rising to around AED 2,000 for surgical or impacted cases. What affects the price is the position of the tooth, how deeply it is impacted, and how close it sits to the nerves or sinuses, all of which we assess from your X-ray before treatment. We offer flexible payment options, and your same-day consultation is complimentary, so you can get a clear assessment and an exact price before deciding anything.
Wisdom tooth removal at NOA Dental Clinic Dubai costs AED 650 to 2,000 depending on impaction complexity, performed by a specialist oral surgeon with over 25 years of experience, with free same-day consultations at JLT and Trade Centre.

Common signs include persistent pain toward the back of the mouth, tender or swollen gums where the wisdom teeth are erupting, jaw pain or stiffness, headaches originating near the jaw, crowding or shifting of nearby teeth, difficulty eating, and repeated infections around a partly erupted tooth. If you notice any of these, it is worth an assessment, as early removal can prevent more complex problems later. Not every wisdom tooth needs removing, which is why we assess each case individually.
Wisdom teeth usually emerge between the ages of 17 and 21, though the timing varies. You do not necessarily need them removed if they are healthy and causing no problems. Removal is recommended when there is infection, crowding, or impaction. If your wisdom teeth are symptom-free, we will monitor them rather than remove them unnecessarily, in line with our conservative approach.
Wisdom tooth removal at NOA ranges from AED 650 to 2,000, depending on the complexity of the case, the position of the tooth, and its proximity to nerves or sinuses. See our cost section above for full details. Your same-day consultation is complimentary, and we offer flexible payment options.
Impaction is described in two ways. By angle: vertical (the tooth tries to erupt straight but cannot clear the jawbone), horizontal (embedded sideways in the jaw), mesio-angular (tilted toward the second molar), and disto-angular (tilted away from it). By tissue covering: soft-tissue impaction (crown through the bone but still under the gum), partial bony impaction (partly covered by bone), and complete bony impaction (fully encased in bone). Your X-ray shows which type you have, and it is the main factor in how the tooth is removed.
For the first 24 to 48 hours, stick to soft and semi-liquid foods such as yogurt, soup, scrambled eggs, oatmeal, avocado, broth, vegetable juice, and pureed fruit. Cold foods can also help soothe the area, especially on the first day. Avoid hard, crunchy, or chewy foods until the area has healed, and reintroduce your normal diet gradually.
For the first two days, apply an ice pack to the outer cheek over the extraction area for about 15 minutes at a time through the day. The cold reduces swelling by slowing circulation. From the third day, switch to a warm compress to encourage blood flow and healing. Keeping your head elevated when lying down or sleeping also helps limit swelling.
Your surgeon may prescribe anti-inflammatory pain relief, such as ibuprofen, to manage discomfort, and antibiotics if there is a risk of or an existing infection. Take any medication exactly as directed, ideally with food to avoid stomach irritation. Bite gently on the gauze pads for the first 30 to 45 minutes, and avoid straws and hard foods while you heal.
A simple extraction of a fully erupted tooth usually heals within 3 to 4 days. If the tooth was impacted, healing can take around a week to 10 days. Following your aftercare instructions closely, especially in the first few days, is the best way to ensure a smooth recovery. You can see our day-by-day recovery guide above.
It is best to wait on all three. Avoid smoking for at least 48 hours, as the suction and chemicals disrupt the blood clot and raise the risk of dry socket. Wait three to four days before resuming exercise, since working out too soon can dislodge the clot. Non-essential travel in the first few days is also not advised. Your surgeon can give you personalised guidance based on how your recovery is progressing.
Yes, but gently. Wait at least 24 hours before brushing again, then use a soft-bristled toothbrush and take care around the surgical sites, avoiding vigorous brushing that could disturb healing. Brush your other teeth carefully, and after brushing you can rinse with warm salt water or a recommended mouthwash to keep the area clean and support healing.
Bite gently on the gauze over the extraction site for the first 30 to 45 minutes to apply pressure and help a clot form. If bleeding continues, replace it with fresh gauze and continue for another hour. If it still persists, biting on a dampened tea bag can help, as the tannic acid supports clotting. If bleeding does not settle, contact us.
Coverage varies by policy, so it is best to check directly with your insurance provider whether the procedure falls under your dental plan. Our team can provide a treatment estimate you can submit to your insurer.
