In Dr Albert Lee's Words
“Wisdom teeth roots can sit millimetres from major nerves and the sinus floor. That proximity is precisely why surgical training exists — not to make the procedure sound more complicated, but to ensure it isn’t.”

Not necessarily. The decision depends on symptoms, the position of the tooth, its relationship to neighbouring structures, and the risk of future problems. Dr Albert Lee assesses each case individually; monitoring may be appropriate in some situations.
Yes. Where a lower wisdom tooth appears close to the inferior alveolar nerve, CBCT three-dimensional imaging may be recommended to evaluate the anatomy before any treatment decision is made. Dentalis has in-house CBCT capability to support pre-surgical assessment.
Yes. Dental implantology is one of Dr Albert Lee's principal clinical interests. He provides implant placement for appropriate cases, including sites requiring bone grafting or ridge preservation prior to implant surgery.
