Wisdom Teeth Removal in Palmdale, CA
What Are Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last set of teeth to emerge, typically appearing in late adolescence or early adulthood. While some people have no issues with their wisdom teeth, others may experience a range of problems, including pain, infection, and misalignment of other teeth.

Wisdom Teeth Removal Procedure
The wisdom tooth removal process begins with a consultation where X-rays are taken to assess the position and condition of the wisdom teeth. Before the procedure, local or general anesthesia is administered to ensure comfort during the surgery. The oral surgeon or dentist then makes an incision in the gum tissue to access the tooth and removes the wisdom tooth carefully. After extraction, the area is cleaned, and stitches may be placed to promote healing.

If you have any questions about wisdom teeth removal, we’ve got answers.
Wisdom teeth usually emerge sometime between the ages of 17 and 25.
Most people have their wisdom teeth removed sometime during their high school or college years. But they can continue developing until you’re nearly 30 years old. We typically recommend removing your wisdom teeth as soon as side effects like infection, impaction, or pain develop before they can cause damage to your neighboring healthy teeth.
At Exceptional Dentistry, we will take periodic dental X-rays to evaluate your wisdom tooth development. This imaging allows us to identify the best time for wisdom tooth removal, depending on your circumstances.
We will assess your case thoroughly to determine the best course of action. Sometimes we only need to remove one or two, and sometimes three or four.
We take special steps to make sure our patients are comfortable during their wisdom tooth removal appointment. We use numbing and sedation medications to help patients feel as little discomfort as possible. In addition, we will provide you with appropriate post-procedure medications and instructions for pain relief.
Wisdom teeth are harder to remove than other teeth because they’re not just one simple extraction but four teeth located in the back of the mouth, usually close to major nerves. Typically, wisdom tooth extraction is performed by our dentist or an oral surgeon, with the option of sedation during the procedure.
