Wisdom Teeth Removal in La Verne, CA

Wisdom teeth removal is a common procedure for teenagers and adults that can prevent pain and protect oral health. Recovery usually takes just a few days, allowing you to return to your routine quickly. Even if wisdom teeth are not causing symptoms, regular exams, cleanings, and periodic x-rays can detect potential problems early.

In Motion Dentists offers comfortable wisdom teeth evaluation and removal for patients in La Verne and across Los Angeles and Orange County.

What Are Wisdom Teeth?

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last four permanent teeth to erupt, typically between ages 17 and 25. Healthy wisdom teeth fully emerge behind the second molars, but most jaws do not have enough space, which can lead to impaction or misalignment. Improperly developing wisdom teeth can damage surrounding teeth and gums, making evaluation and possible removal necessary.

Why Remove Wisdom Teeth?

Early evaluation and removal of wisdom teeth can help prevent:

• Pain and discomfort
• Gum infection or swelling
• Damage to neighboring teeth
• Crowding or misalignment of other teeth

How Wisdom Teeth Removal Works

1. Consultation & Evaluation: Our dentists will review the position of your wisdom teeth, roots, and overall oral health to create a personalized treatment plan.
2. Treatment Planning: We explain your procedure, answer questions, and coordinate with your insurance provider.
3. Sedation & Surgery: Depending on your needs, sedation is used for comfort. After surgery, you will be monitored in a recovery area to ensure safety.
4. Post-Operative Care: Instructions are reviewed with the patient and escort, including pain management and, if necessary, antibiotics. Swelling typically decreases within 48 hours, with gradual recovery over the following days.

Important: Patients cannot drive home after sedation, so arrangements for pick-up must be made in advance.

Recovery & Aftercare

• Take prescribed or over-the-counter medications for discomfort
• Follow all post-operative instructions carefully
• Swelling and soreness are normal and should improve over a few days
• Contact our office for any concerns or complications
