ORAL SURGERY · WISDOM TEETH
Wisdom teeth in Barton.
Understand your next step.
Concerned about a wisdom tooth? New patients from Barton and Canberra’s Inner South can arrange an assessment at A1 Dental Barton to discuss oral surgery care and appropriate anaesthetic options. If IV sedation is being considered, enquiries are welcome from across Canberra, the ACT and surrounding NSW.
ASSESSMENT FIRST
A decision based
on your teeth.
Wisdom teeth may be impacted or partly erupted. An assessment can help explain symptoms, imaging findings and whether removal or another approach is appropriate.
Your clinician explains the proposed procedure, alternatives, relevant risks and recovery expectations. If removal is advised, discuss your health, medications and the anaesthetic options available for your case.

Anaesthetic options

YOUR QUESTIONS
A clearer next step.
Does every wisdom tooth need removal?
Treatment is decided after assessment. Your clinician explains why removal, monitoring or another option is appropriate.
Is IV sedation available for wisdom teeth surgery?
It may be considered following dental and anaesthetic assessment. Treatment is arranged on scheduled days, with preparation and carer requirements explained beforehand.
How do I arrange a consultation?
Call the practice or use the booking portal to discuss an assessment. A surgical date follows planning and confirmation rather than being guaranteed by a general online booking.
