Trust our specialized oral surgery team for safe wisdom teeth extraction, impacted tooth removal, and preventive dental care. We combine state-of-the-art imaging technology with gentle surgical techniques to ensure comfortable extractions and optimal healing for patients of all ages.
Wisdom teeth removal represents one of the most common oral surgery procedures performed today, helping millions of patients avoid complications and maintain optimal oral health. These third molars typically emerge between the ages of 17 and 25, often causing problems due to insufficient space in the modern human jaw that can lead to pain, infection, and damage to surrounding teeth.
At Ponce Dental Studio, we understand the prospect of wisdom teeth removal can feel overwhelming, which is why we provide comprehensive care and clear communication throughout the entire process. Our experienced team combines advanced surgical techniques with compassionate patient care to ensure your wisdom teeth extraction is as comfortable and successful as possible while protecting your long-term oral health.
Recognizing the warning signs of problematic wisdom teeth allows for timely intervention before complications become severe. Common symptoms that indicate wisdom teeth problems include:
These symptoms can range from mild and intermittent to severe and constant, significantly impacting your daily activities and quality of life. Some patients also notice that previously straight teeth begin to shift or overlap, potentially undoing previous orthodontic work or creating new alignment issues that require correction.
The wisdom teeth removal process begins with a comprehensive examination that includes digital X-rays or 3D imaging to assess the position, size, and development of your wisdom teeth. This imaging allows us to determine the complexity of the extraction, identify any potential complications, and develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs.
During your consultation, we’ll discuss your symptoms, medical history, and any concerns you may have about the procedure. This conversation helps us understand your pain levels, timeline preferences, and anxiety levels, allowing us to tailor our approach to ensure your comfort and confidence throughout the treatment process.
We’ll also review the risks and benefits of wisdom teeth removal in your particular case, as not all wisdom teeth require extraction. Some patients with adequate jaw space and properly positioned wisdom teeth may be able to keep them with diligent oral hygiene and regular monitoring.
Wisdom teeth removal can range from simple extractions for fully erupted teeth to more complex surgical procedures for impacted teeth that require incisions and bone removal. Simple extractions involve loosening the tooth with specialized instruments and removing it with gentle pressure, typically completed in just a few minutes per tooth.
Surgical extractions for impacted wisdom teeth require more advanced techniques, including incisions in the gum tissue and sometimes removal of small amounts of bone to access the tooth. In some cases, the tooth may need to be sectioned into smaller pieces for easier removal, particularly when dealing with severely impacted or unusually shaped roots.
We offer various anesthesia options to ensure your comfort during the procedure, ranging from local anesthesia for simple extractions to sedation options for more complex cases or anxious patients. Our team will help you choose the best option based on the complexity of your case and your personal comfort preferences.
The recovery process following wisdom teeth removal typically involves several days of rest and careful attention to post-operative instructions to promote proper healing and prevent complications. Most patients experience peak discomfort during the first 48 to 72 hours, with gradual improvement over the following week as swelling subsides and tissues heal.
Proper post-operative care includes managing swelling with ice packs, taking prescribed medications as directed, eating soft foods, and avoiding activities that could disrupt the healing process. We provide detailed recovery instructions and remain available to address any questions or concerns that arise during your healing period.
Most patients can return to work or school within a few days, though complete healing of the extraction sites takes several weeks. Following our post-operative guidelines helps ensure optimal healing and reduces the risk of complications such as dry socket or infection.
