Wisdom teeth are the third and final set of molars that emerge, usually during your late teens to early twenties. For some people, wisdom teeth have enough room to grow in naturally. For others, wisdom teeth often cause problems, coming in at an angle instead of straight through the gum line. Impacted wisdom teeth can cause structural damage to the jaw and other teeth. They can also provide a place for bacteria to gather since they are hard to reach and clean.
These potential problems make it necessary to remove impacted wisdom teeth so that larger problems don’t arise. If you or your teen is experiencing pain, swelling, or swollen gums around the molars, we encourage you to reserve a consultation to evaluate your wisdom teeth at Same Day Smile Design in Mission Viejo, CA today. As a general rule, the longer you wait, the more complicated the treatment can be.
We first want you to feel completely comfortable undergoing wisdom tooth surgery at our office. We’ll walk you through what you can expect and help you determine which level of sedation is necessary if you’re feeling nervous about surgery. Next, we generally take a Panorex X-Ray that captures high-resolution images of your bone, teeth, sinuses, and nerves. This helps us plan for your surgery to increase the predictability and precision of your treatment. Your surgery will be completed in one of our surgical suites equipped with state-of-the-art technology and full anesthesia capabilities.
While you’re monitored by our team to maximize your comfort and safety, we will expertly perform your wisdom tooth removal in the most minimally invasive approach possible. Once your surgery is complete and you feel stable, a friend or family member will drive you home where you’ll need a few days to fully recover. If at any point during your recovery you need us, we are here to provide expert, personalized follow-up care.
