Advanced Technology for Superior Results

This advanced imaging is particularly valuable for dental implant placement, allowing Dr Legin to:
- Plan the precise position and angle of your implant before surgery begins
- Identify the exact location of nerves and sinuses to avoid complications
- Determine bone density and quality for optimal implant success
- Ensure your implant is placed in the ideal position for both function and aesthetics
This level of precision means safer procedures, better results and greater confidence in your treatment from start to finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last teeth to emerge, typically appearing in late adolescence or early adulthood. At Nundah General & Emergency Dental, Dr Legin often recommends extraction when these teeth pose problems for your oral health or are likely to cause complications in the future.
Many people don't have sufficient space in their jaws to accommodate wisdom teeth properly. When this occurs, the teeth may become impacted, meaning they're unable to fully emerge through the gum line or grow in at awkward angles. This can lead to a range of issues, including:
- Pain and discomfort in the jaw
- Infection or inflammation of the surrounding gum tissue
- Damage to adjacent teeth
- Crowding or shifting of existing teeth
- Development of cysts or tumours around the impacted tooth
- Increased risk of tooth decay and gum disease due to difficulty cleaning
Even wisdom teeth that have erupted fully can be problematic if they're positioned so far back in your mouth that proper brushing and flossing becomes challenging. This creates an environment where bacteria can flourish, leading to decay and gum problems.
Dr Legin will conduct a thorough examination, including X-rays, to assess the position and condition of your wisdom teeth. If extraction is recommended, addressing the issue proactively can prevent more serious complications and protect your overall oral health.
Our Nundah team is experienced in wisdom tooth removal and will ensure you're comfortable throughout the process, discussing all available options for sedation and aftercare.
Comprehensive Surgical Services
Dr Legin offers a full range of surgical dentistry procedures, including dental implant placement, complex tooth extractions and wisdom teeth removal. Each procedure is tailored to your individual needs, with careful attention to your comfort and long-term oral health.
Wisdom Teeth Extraction
Wisdom teeth removal is one of the most common surgical procedures we perform. Having your wisdom teeth extracted at Nundah General & Emergency Dental offers significant benefits.
You'll avoid the potential complications of impacted wisdom teeth, including pain, infection and damage to adjacent teeth. Early removal, when recommended, is typically easier with faster recovery times than waiting until problems develop. Most importantly, you can have the procedure done in the familiar, convenient setting of your regular dental practice rather than being referred elsewhere.
