Why an oral surgeon for wisdom teeth
Impacted wisdom teeth are removed by Dr. Ng Hon Wei, our Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon, rather than being referred out to a hospital. Your surgery is planned around the nerve, and sedation is available if you are anxious.
Lower wisdom teeth often sit close to a nerve. The inferior alveolar nerve runs through the lower jaw and supplies feeling to your lower lip and chin. When a wisdom tooth root sits near it, careful planning matters.
Planning starts with imaging. We begin with a digital panoramic X-ray. If it shows the root close to the nerve, a 3D CBCT scan is taken at our Bandar Puteri clinic so your surgeon can see the exact relationship in three dimensions before surgery.
Surgical training shapes the technique. Dr. Ng holds a Master of Clinical Dentistry in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. He selects the approach, such as sectioning the tooth or removing only the crown in selected cases, to reduce risk to the nerve and surrounding bone.
Sedation options for anxious patients

Wisdom tooth surgery FAQs
Does wisdom tooth surgery hurt? The procedure itself is done under local anaesthesia, so you should feel pressure but not sharp pain. Sedation can be added if you are anxious. Some soreness and swelling afterwards is normal and is managed with prescribed medication, usually easing after the first three days.
Do all wisdom teeth need to be removed? No. Wisdom teeth that are fully erupted, healthy and easy to clean can often stay. We recommend removal when a tooth is causing repeated infection, decay in the neighbouring tooth, gum problems, cysts or pain, or is likely to cause these.
Can I have all four wisdom teeth removed at once? Often, yes. Many patients choose to remove all problematic wisdom teeth in one session, which means one recovery period instead of several. Your surgeon will advise based on your X-rays and medical history.
How long do I need off work or school? Most patients take two to three days off. More complex surgical cases may need up to a week. We can provide a medical certificate for the day of surgery and recovery days as clinically appropriate.
Can I claim insurance for wisdom tooth surgery? Surgical wisdom tooth removal is covered by some medical insurance policies and employer panels. We provide the itemised quotation, X-ray report and surgeon's letter you need to check with your insurer or employer panel before treatment. Please confirm coverage with them directly.
