What are wisdom teeth?
- The 3rd molar teeth that usually come through around late teenage years if not impacted
- Generally, because they are the hardest to keep clean and are usually impacted, we tend to take them out before they become an issue
Do we need wisdom teeth?
- If orthodontically they are causing misaligned teeth and overcrowding this is usually the recommended teeth to be taken out.
- If planned well and with an OPG X-ray, this can be done in chair or under Happy Gas

Kate Waugh2025-03-13Dr Astin was wonderful. She took the time to explain everything and really put me at ease.
Valentina Langford2025-02-26As someone who suffers from dental anxiety and has had bad experiences with dentists in the past, I could not recommend Yeronga Park Dental more. The staff were incredibly understanding and made a usually very uncomfortable experience go as smoothly as possible. Dr. Astin was very understanding, non-judgemental, gave me lots of breaks and explained everything. 10/10 would recommend.
Andree Roberts2025-01-26Outstanding Dental care. I travel an hour each visit-I trust Dr Nicole and her Nurses/Dental Assistants Team’s professional care. In 40 years of adult dental visits, I find Yeronga Dental team are the most holistic and professional, excellent communicators, kind and friendly. Dr Nicole is exceptional in her dental expertise, explaining procedures clearly and sensitively, working efficiently and seamlessly with her team.

The dentists and their support teams are extremely professional and informative and the brilliant follow up from the team to ensure everything is ok post procedure is something that I have never experienced before. I am very happy to recommend Yeronga Park Dental to anyone needing a first class dental service.
Shanna Barker2024-11-23I’ve been to Yeronga Park Dental a few times now and have always had the best experience. The team at Yeronga Park Dental is so wonderful, I couldn’t recommend them enough. Each visit has been a testament to their professionalism and care. My most recent visit was for wisdom tooth removal, which can be a daunting procedure. However, the staff made me feel so comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process. Thanks to Dr Nicole and your wonderful DA. Their attentiveness and compassion truly stood out, turning what could have been a stressful experience into a smooth and reassuring one. Special thanks to Vonnie for doing an exceptional job with my clean a few weeks back. See you again in 6 months. 😊 If you’re looking for exceptional dental care, look no further! 🦷✨
Sarah Parrish2024-03-21I'm not a great dental patient but I got the poor teeth in my family so I spend quite a bit of time in the dentist chair. I have gone to Nicole for over 10 years now and we have built a strong relationship where she knows me, what makes me nervous, and how to help me stay calm. This has built a really strong foundation of trust in Nicole and her team for my whole family.
Sarah Karancole2024-02-23Love this place!?! Best service from a dentist I’ve had in years the girls fixed my teeth up nicely. non judgemental positive environment also really went through with me and showed me the damage I had done and the next and best steps to keep my smile bright and beautiful and healthy. Was always abit scared of getting myself to the dentist would 100% go back here though.
