What Are Wisdom Teeth and Why Do They Need Removal?

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, typically erupt in your late teens or early twenties. While some people have no issues with their wisdom teeth, many others experience problems such as:

Impacted Teeth: When wisdom teeth don’t have enough space to fully emerge, they can become trapped in the jawbone or gums, causing pain and infection.
Crowding: Wisdom teeth often push against other teeth, disrupting alignment and causing discomfort.
Infection: Partially erupted wisdom teeth can create a breeding ground for bacteria, leading to gum disease or painful infections.
Damage to Nearby Teeth: Wisdom teeth can push against neighboring molars, leading to damage or decay.

At Espire Dental La Jolla, we focus on pain-free, expert wisdom teeth extractions, ensuring you can get back to enjoying life without the discomfort of troublesome teeth.

Is wisdom teeth removal painful?

No! The procedure is done under local anesthesia or sedation, so you won’t feel any pain during the extraction. Our doctors are dedicated to making the process as painless as possible.

How long does it take to recover?

Most patients recover from wisdom teeth removal in about a week. Swelling and discomfort typically subside within a few days. We’ll provide all the care instructions you need for a smooth recovery.

What if my wisdom teeth aren’t causing any pain?

Even if your wisdom teeth aren’t causing pain now, they can lead to future issues like crowding or infection. Our team will evaluate whether preemptive removal is the best option for you.

How long does the procedure take?

The extraction typically takes about 45 minutes to an hour, depending on how many wisdom teeth are removed and their complexity. With sedation, time will fly by!

Can I go back to work or school the next day?

Most patients take a day or two off to rest. However, with proper care, you can usually resume light activities within a couple of days.

Will I need someone to drive me home?

Yes, if you undergo sedation, it’s best to have someone accompany you and drive you home after the procedure.
