What Exactly Is Wisdom Teeth Removal?

In oral surgery, extracting wisdom teeth is a regular treatment. It’s done to sort out issues tied to those very back teeth – your third molars, as we call them. But often, there just isn't enough room in your mouth, or they grow in awkwardly. When that happens, they can cause all sorts of headaches: crowding other teeth, causing outright pain, or even leading to nasty infections. At our Beverly Hills clinic, we truly specialize in handling these extractions safely and efficiently, all to protect the integrity of your whole smile.

Signs You Might Need Wisdom Teeth Removal

If you're noticing any of these specific things, it might be a pretty good indication that it’s time to chat with us about your wisdom teeth:

  • Persistent Jaw Pain: That dull ache, or maybe even pressure, right in the back of your mouth? That's a common one.
  • Swollen or Tender Gums: A clear warning sign of irritation or inflammation around where those wisdom teeth are trying to break through.
  • Difficulty Chewing: You could be feeling pain when you bite down or try to eat, often because your teeth aren't lining up correctly.
  • Regular Infections: A partially extracted tooth can provide germs with a little, ideal space to grow and cause issues.
  • Cysts or Other Complications: In some rarer situations, impacted teeth might lead to fluid-filled sacs called cysts, which can unfortunately harm the surrounding bone and tissue.

The Big Benefits of Getting Wisdom Teeth Removed

Getting rid of problem wisdom teeth can bring a whole bunch of truly positive things for your mouth’s health. Seriously.

Pain Relief
It completely eliminates the discomfort and suffering that poorly aligned or impacted wisdom teeth can cause.
Stops Other Oral Health Issues
It significantly lowers your chances of getting infections, tooth decay, or gum disease in those super tricky back areas.
Better Tooth Alignment
This helps prevent other teeth from getting crowded, helping you keep that straight, healthy-looking smile you want.
Easier Daily Cleaning
Bacteria and plaque have fewer hiding spots once those difficult-to-reach molars are removed. Brushing and flossing become easier on a daily basis.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should I recuperate following my wisdom teeth extraction?
The main thing for a good recovery is following all the instructions we give you. Keep the area where we worked very clean. Try to stick to soft foods for a few days, and avoid anything hard or super chewy. If we give you pain medicine, take it exactly as directed. And please, absolutely do not chew on that side of your mouth at all until it’s fully healed or your dentist tells you it’s okay.
How many appointments are required to remove my wisdom teeth?

The complexity of your case will determine this. Many people just require one dental appointment to have their wisdom teeth out. But, if your teeth are stuck, or there are other complex things going on, it might mean one or two follow-up appointments to make sure everything is healing just right. We’ll always give you a clear estimate upfront, though.

How long does wisdom tooth extraction take?
The actual procedure's duration varies greatly.  It all comes down to how difficult the extraction is. A simple wisdom tooth removal could be as quick as 20 to 30 minutes per tooth. If the tooth is impacted or poses more of a challenge, it might take a bit longer. We’ll discuss the estimated time with you before we even begin.
