Wisdom Teeth Extractions: What to Expect

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, typically begin to emerge during the late teenage years or early adulthood. While some individuals have enough space in their mouths to accommodate these additional teeth, many experience complications due to impacted wisdom teeth or lack of space. These issues often lead to the need for wisdom teeth extractions .

At Elevated Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery , we specialize in surgical removal of wisdom teeth , offering patients in San Diego, CA, expert care and reliable results. If you’re experiencing pain, swelling, or crowding due to wisdom teeth, rest assured that our highly skilled team is here to guide you through every step of the process and ensure your safety and comfort from consultation to recovery.

What are Wisdom Teeth Extractions?

Wisdom teeth extractions involve the surgical removal of one or more third molars, which are located at the back of the mouth and are typically the last to erupt. Because of limited jaw space, these teeth often emerge misaligned, impacted, or partially erupted, increasing the risk of pain, infection, and other oral health problems .

During your initial consultation , our experienced oral surgeons will perform a thorough examination of your mouth and assess the position of your wisdom teeth using advanced dental imaging technology . Based on these findings, we will provide a personalized wisdom teeth removal treatment plan tailored specifically to your needs — ensuring your safety, comfort, and optimal recovery.

The Proof is in Our Patients

They helped me with my problem very quickly, the staff makes you feel as if you were at home, they explained the procedure in great detail so that I understood exactly what they were going to do to me and if in case I had questions I would ask them with confidence . I had some questions and they kindly answered them. Everything went perfect and without any problem. Thanks to Dr. MacDowell

I had an ongoing issue that "erupted" into a serious issue on a Friday afternoon. I was referred to Elevated and called around 2pm on a Friday. By 3:30 I was in the chair and out the door after surgery by 5pm. I have had no complications since. Dr. MacDowell and his entire staff were professional.

I want to say Dr. James McDowell was and is the most caring individual I have ever had the pleasure of being a patient with. His level of compassion deserves the highest level of respect and appreciation. Please consider this company as the gold standard of oral surgery options. I would trust them with my life.
