Wisdom Teeth Removal in Gardena, CA
What is Wisdom Teeth Removal

What Is Wisdom Teeth Removal?

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last set of teeth to emerge in the mouth. They typically appear in late adolescence or early adulthood, often with very little room left for them. Some people have no issues at all, while others experience pain, infection, and misalignment of the surrounding teeth. Our experienced dentist evaluates the position of each one using digital X-rays before recommending anything. About 85% of third molars eventually need removal, according to the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.

The Benefits of Wisdom Teeth Removal

Pain Prevention

Removing an impacted third molar eliminates the pain, swelling, and infection that develop when a wisdom tooth has no room at all to emerge properly through the gum.

Alignment Protection

Taking wisdom teeth out prevents the overcrowding that pushes your other teeth out of alignment and creates orthodontic issues further down the road as you age.

Decay Prevention

Third molars sit at the very back of the mouth and are difficult to clean, so removing them lowers your risk of both cavities and periodontal disease in that area.

Cyst Prevention

Extraction removes the risk of cysts or tumors forming around an impacted wisdom tooth, which can otherwise lead to far more serious health issues over the years.

Our Step-by-Step Process

From your first exam to the final result, here's exactly what to expect — calm, clear, and never rushed.

Request an Appointment
  1. 01

    Initial Consultation

    Our experienced dentist evaluates your dental health using digital X-rays and a thorough exam to locate each of your wisdom teeth and their exact position.

  2. 02

    Anesthesia Selection

    Local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia is administered based on the specifics of your case and how comfortable you feel that day.

  3. 03

    Surgical Access

    Our dentist makes a small incision in the gum tissue to expose both the tooth and the bone that surrounds it underneath the crown and its roots.

  4. 04

    Tooth Removal

    The tooth may be divided into sections to make removal easier, and then the site is cleaned once it has been fully extracted, prepared, and inspected.

  5. 05

    Closing Healing

    Stitches may be placed to promote healing, and you receive a full set of aftercare instructions before you head home to rest and recover.

Signs You May Need Wisdom Teeth Removal

Impacted Teeth

Your wisdom teeth lack the room they need to emerge or develop normally, which brings on pain, swelling, and repeated infections back there.

Crowding Pressure

Wisdom teeth are crowding your mouth and pushing the other teeth out of alignment, undoing your previous orthodontic work from earlier in life.

Recurring Decay

Cavities or gum disease keep developing around the back molars because those teeth are so difficult to reach and clean with a normal toothbrush.

Cysts Forming

Imaging shows a cyst or a tumor forming around one of your impacted wisdom teeth, which calls for prompt attention here at our dental office.
