Wisdom Teeth Extractions: What to Expect
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, typically begin to erupt during the late teenage years or early adulthood. While some individuals may have enough space in their mouths to accommodate these additional teeth, many people experience complications due to the lack of space. This often leads to the need for wisdom teeth extractions.
At Elevated Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, we specialize in wisdom teeth extractions, providing patients in San Diego, CA, with exceptional care and optimal results. If you’re facing the prospect of wisdom teeth removal, rest assured that our experienced team is here to guide you through the process and ensure your comfort throughout.
What are Wisdom Teeth Extractions?
Wisdom teeth extractions involve the surgical removal of one or more of the third molars. These teeth are located at the back of the mouth and are the last to erupt. Due to the limited space in the jaw, wisdom teeth often emerge misaligned, impacted, or partially erupted, which can lead to various oral health problems.
During your initial consultation, our skilled oral surgeons will carefully examine your mouth and assess the position and condition of your wisdom teeth using advanced imaging technology. Based on this evaluation, a recommended treatment plan will be provided, tailored to your specific needs.
