Safe Wisdom Tooth Removal

At Ascent Dental Care Loughborough we often see and treat patients who require removal of impacted wisdom teeth.

Your wisdom teeth are your ‘third molars’. Most patients have a natural set of 32 adult teeth in their lifetime, some have a few more, some a few less. The third molars are usually the last adult teeth to erupt and they normally appear at around 18-21 years of age.

Our experienced team of clinicians will carefully examine you to diagnose the best solution for removal.

I have been with this dentist for the last 40yrs, recently it has changed hands and booking appointments has been difficult at times, but the care is great. Today I had a wisdom tooth removed. The proceedure was fine and completely painless, Simon is great as the consulting surgeon for more complex surgery, I recommend him 100%

There are 4 types of impacted wisdom teeth:

An impacted wisdom tooth is one which has grown in a difficult or troublesome angle and can often require wisdom tooth surgery to remove it. Wisdom teeth tend to erupt later in life and often there may be a lack of space in the jaw to accommodate them, and so the wisdom tooth may not be able to erupt properly or may even remain buried. Sometimes, an impacted wisdom tooth can cause food or bacteria to be easily trapped resulting in gum inflammation and swelling, leading to pain and infection.

Vertical Impaction

The wisdom tooth grows straight down and hits the next tooth.

Angular (mesial) Impaction

The wisdom tooth grows at an angle facing towards the front of your mouth.

Horizontal Impaction

The wisdom tooth grows out away from the adjacent tooth and ends up in the wrong position

Distal Impaction

The tooth grows away from the tooth next to it and becomes lodge in an incorrect position

Do I Need My Impacted Wisdom Tooth Removed?

The reasons for removing an impacted wisdom tooth varies largely from case to case. If the wisdom tooth has come through properly and you are experiencing no problems from it, we usually advise patients to leave it as it is. If, however there is difficulty in keeping it clean and there is a high chance that it might cause problems in the future then we may suggest removal.

Our team of skilled and experienced clinicians will remove impacted wisdom teeth with minimal disruption and discomfort.

Nervous about Tooth Extraction?

Wisdom tooth removal is often a surgical procedure, we have found that dental sedation has helped many people to undergo this procedure in relaxation and comfort.

Conscious Sedation (also known as ‘twilight sedation’, ‘IV sedation’, or ‘sleep sedation’) is a wonderful and extremely safe technique that encourages a deep state of relaxation. At Ascent Dental Care Loughborough, we use a sedative. The sedative is not designed to ‘put you to sleep’, but is used as a relaxant (although we do find that many patients naturally fall asleep during treatment!).

Patients are usually responsive during treatment (you may hear voices and respond to the gentle squeeze of your hand) but the amnesic effect of the drug will mean that patients remember very little of the procedure afterwards. In addition, patients treated under conscious sedation will often lose track of time, and a very long appointment will appear to be over in minutes.

The sedatives that we use are extremely safe and the side effects are minimal which means that after a 24hr recovery period (no driving, cooking or operating machinery) you can return to everyday life.

We will take the time to assess your medical history prior to your treatment & sedation session to ensure that you are entirely suitable. However, we do find that most patients who are nervous, worried or anxious can be treated using conscious sedation.

Do I need Dental Sedation?

You have a deep-seated fear of visiting the dentist
You are suffering from extreme pain but fear is stopping you attending
You are putting off treatment that you want or need
You would like to overcome your dental phobia for good

Benefits of Dental Sedation

The sedatives are safe and side effects minimal
You can have a lot of treatment in just 1 session, which reduces both cost and number of visits
Dental sedation can help to overcome fear and anxiety for good
Most patients are suitable for conscious sedation (but will be assessed on individual needs).
You can be rid of pain and discomfort very quickly
You won’t remember much about the procedure

Conscious Sedation is an extremely effective and safe technique that can be used to help overcome dental phobia for good.

I couldn’t recommend Ascent highly enough, especially for patients who are nervous about going to the dentist. Every member of staff I have interacted with has been friendly, professional and made me feel totally at ease, even though I was very anxious about visiting the dentist. I requested a new patient consultation and was seen by my dentist Mandeep and dental nurse Alex later that same week. Mandeep was so patient and thorough and explained the treatment I required clearly every step of the way and Alex was lovely and so reassuring. Again, appointments for the treatment were available straight away and Mandeep and dental nurse Hollie were so calming and professional. I was so happy with the service throughout this initial consultation and treatment that I have joined Ascent as a member and will continue to come for my routine check-ups and I no longer feel frightened about the prospect of a dentist visit!

Recently I had root canal work done by Dr Jesal Savania to cure and rescue an infected tooth. I dreaded what was to come when I heard that I’d have to undergo a root canal procedure. I need not have worried!! Jesal was quite an amazing surgical expert. I experienced negligible pain and was kept informed all the way through about what was happening and before I knew it, it was done. What is also incredible was that the whole procedure was carried out through an existing crown. The crown was created some decades earlier but rather than waste it, Jesal was so skilled he rescued both crown and underlying tooth and left me feeling calm and even relaxed in the dentist chair when it was all done ! This excellent dentist and the dental practice are to be congratulated on an excellent outcome. Thank you!

Kate Clarke

Jyoti and Alex made me feel really comfortable when having my composite bonding done and the results are amazing. I only wanted a subtle change to my teeth and a natural look, would highly recommend this practice.

Dennis sharp

Excellent experience, had 2 fillings, the dentist talked through every step, would rate the visit higher if I could. Thank you Dr Shiv

Jenny Townend

Couldn’t recommend highly enough from the lovely reception staff to the professional and calming dentist who did my root canal treatment today. I was originally referred as I was a very nervous patient and wanted sedation. But after meeting the dentist he assured me I would cope under local anaesthetic which I did and the whole procedure was totally painless. Thank you.

Helen Horne

Ascent Dental Care has professional and friendly staff who always provide excellent treatment. I had dental implants last year and am very pleased with the outcome. Before starting and throughout the procedure the staff explained exactly what was happening and what was involved. This was very important to me.

Isaac McKenzie

I had a fantastic experience here. I came for a cosmetic consultation which was a fantastic deal to start with. The information and insight from the dentist I seen today was the best I have experienced so far to tell the truth.

I am a very nervous patient with an irrational fear of the dentist, today it felt calming and I felt understood. The options shared I genuinely felt were what will be best for me and I felt cared for.

I am happy to hopefully progress through the treatment and look forward to potentially having more confidence and a great smile. Nothing Ive seen today gives me even an ounce of doubt about their ability to care for me and do what’s best for me.

The hygiene is also fantastic, there was plenty of room to park which is always a great sign. Friendly and professional staff also help you feel welcome and comforted.

Thank you.

I recently completed my teeth whitening process at Ascent in Loughborough with Dr Jyoti Parmar. This was made a little more difficult due to me having a dead tooth and a veneer at the front, however the whole process was explained and Jyoti made sure I was content with all steps.

After completing my at home whitening I had to be matched up for my new veneers, I then had to have the two dead teeth shaved down and prepared for veneer fitting. During the period my veneers were being made one of my teeth chipped and Jyoti got me in as soon as she could to assess if the veneers could still be fitted. All was well and I had my veneers fitted the next day.

The finished whitened smile with new veneers, also closing my gaps slightly looks amazing and has already given me more confidence, the teeth are lots whiter and the veneers look natural. Overall I’m extremely pleased with how my procedure turned out, the communication and levels of professionalism from all at ascent! If you’re thinking of having some whitening done or replacing veneers go with ascent, you won’t be disappointed!

Scott Partridge

Fantastic professionalism and flexibility to suit my demands. I was booked in originally to have some routine maintenance carried out but then after looking at the cosmetic services that Ascent provide decided to opt for Veneers. Perfect job carried out and a big thanks to all.

Trish Swift

The treatment teceived from my dentist (Shiv) and his nurse (Holly) was excellent.. i had a crown fitted amd the whole process was went very smoothly. Shiv explained clearly all the steps he was taking and took great care to ensure the crown was a good fit.
I am extremely pleased with the end result.

Debbie Husler

Having recently moved to Leicestershire we were looking for a new dentist. My husband had a crown fitted by our previous dentist & was having pain. We both went to see Shivam at Ascent & he was fabulous. My husband was made an appointment to see a specialist & the following week he had a root canal. He’s now pain free & SO happy! The staff at the Loughborough surgery are so friendly and professional. They call to remind you of appointments & in fact called the day after hubby’s root canal to check he was ok. Wow! To say we’re impressed is an understatement. At last a dentist we can trust to take care of us. Have recommended Ascent to neighbours.
