What Are Wisdom Teeth?

Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars located at the very back of your mouth, typically emerging between the ages of 17 and 25. Because most modern mouths simply don’t have enough room for them, these late-arriving teeth often become impacted, grow in at awkward angles, or crowd neighboring teeth. Dr. Aria evaluates each patient’s unique situation to determine whether removal is the right course of action—because when wisdom teeth cause trouble, early intervention is always the better choice.

Why Third Molar Extraction May Be Necessary

1. Pain or Discomfort

Persistent aching or a feeling of pressure near your rear molars is one of the earliest signs that your wisdom teeth are pushing against neighboring teeth and may need to come out.

2. Swollen Gums

Inflammation and tenderness around the back of your gumline can indicate that a wisdom tooth is partially erupted, creating a pocket where bacteria easily collect.

3. Crowded Teeth

When wisdom teeth don’t have room to grow in properly, they can push against your existing teeth, causing noticeable crowding or shifting that affects your bite.

4. Jaw Stiffness

Difficulty opening your mouth fully, recurring jaw soreness, or unexplained headaches near the temples can all be related to impacted wisdom teeth putting pressure on surrounding structures.

GET STARTED TODAY

Wisdom teeth are the last permanent teeth to emerge—and for many people, there simply isn’t enough space for them to come in correctly.

What to Expect During Wisdom Teeth Removal

Consultation and Imaging

Dr. Aria Irvani uses advanced CBCT imaging to evaluate the position of your wisdom teeth and create a personalized treatment plan before any procedure begins.

Anesthesia

Local anesthesia is administered to ensure you remain completely comfortable throughout the extraction; most patients are pleasantly surprised by how at ease they feel.

Gentle Extraction

Dr. Aria carefully removes the tooth or teeth with precise, minimally invasive techniques designed to reduce trauma to surrounding tissue.

Recovery Instructions

Before you leave, our team walks you through detailed aftercare instructions so your healing is smooth, quick, and complication-free.

Am I a Candidate for Wisdom Teeth Removal?

Most patients between their late teens and early thirties are good candidates for wisdom teeth removal, especially when those teeth show signs of causing problems. During your consultation, Dr. Aria will review your X-rays and oral health to determine the best path forward. You may be a candidate if:

Your wisdom teeth are impacted or only partially erupted
You’re experiencing pain, swelling, or infection around the back molars
Your wisdom teeth are contributing to crowding or shifting of other teeth
Your X-rays show a risk of future complications even without current symptoms
