Wisdom Teeth Removal

Not all wisdom teeth need to be removed, but when they cause crowding, become impacted, or trigger pain, extraction may be the best solution. At Bayside Dental in Discovery Bay, our skilled dentists and oral surgeons offer expert wisdom teeth removal tailored to your needs.

When Is Wisdom Teeth Removal Necessary?

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, often emerge in your late teens or early twenties. Removal may be recommended if:

They’re impacted (trapped in the jaw or gums), causing pain or swelling.
They crowd or shift your other teeth.
They increase the risk of infection or decay due to poor positioning.

After a thorough exam with X-rays, our Discovery Bay team will determine if wisdom teeth removal is right for you.

What to Expect During Wisdom Teeth Removal

Simple Extractions

For straightforward cases, your dentist can perform wisdom teeth removal in a single visit. The procedure takes 30–60 minutes, using local anesthesia to keep you comfortable.

Complex Extractions

If bone removal or surgical expertise is needed (e.g., fully impacted teeth), we’ll schedule you with one of our oral surgeons. These cases may take 60–90 minutes and can involve sedation or general anesthesia for added comfort.

Step 1: Examination

We use X-rays to assess tooth position and plan the extraction.

Step 2: Sedation Options

Choose from local anesthesia, nitrous oxide (“happy gas”), or general anesthesia with an on-site anesthetist.

Step 3: Extraction

The tooth is carefully removed, with minimal discomfort thanks to our precise techniques.

Step 4: Aftercare

You’ll go home with pain medication, antibiotics, and detailed instructions.

We know wisdom teeth removal can feel daunting. Our team takes time to explain everything, answer questions, and ensure you’re at ease. Need a break during the process? Just let us know—we’re here to help.

Post-Extraction Care

Recovery: Most patients feel back to normal within 1–3 days, though swelling or mild discomfort may linger briefly.
Support: We provide our dentist’s personal mobile number for direct after-hours questions, plus a follow-up call the next day to check on you.
Tips: Rest, avoid straws, and stick to soft foods for a smooth healing process.

With wisdom teeth removal at Bayside Dental, you’re in caring, expert hands from start to finish.
