Step One
3D Assessment
Advanced imaging shows the position of each third molar and its relationship to the nerve and the sinus above it before anything else at all gets underway.
Safe, Comfortable Wisdom Teeth Removal
Experiencing discomfort from your wisdom teeth, or want to be sure they will not cause future problems? Our team gives you all the information you need to make a genuinely informed decision about your oral health.
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 at all, others experience a range of problems including pain, infection, and misalignment of the other teeth. Because these molars sit at the very back of the mouth, they are also notoriously difficult to keep clean. Our doctors assess each one individually using 3D imaging before recommending anything at all. That assessment is what turns a decision into an informed one.
Signs You May Need Wisdom Teeth Removal
-
Pain or Discomfort — Persistent pain or discomfort in the back of the mouth, often caused by impacted wisdom teeth, can indicate the need for removal.
-
Increased Risk of Infection — Swelling, redness, or tenderness around the gums at the back of the mouth can be signs of an infection due to impacted wisdom teeth.
-
Crowded Teeth — Wisdom teeth can cause overcrowding in your mouth, pushing other teeth out of alignment. This can lead to orthodontic issues that may require further treatment.
-
Impacted Teeth — When wisdom teeth don’t have enough room to emerge or develop normally, they become impacted. This can lead to pain, swelling, and infection.

Here is what you can expect during wisdom teeth removal at OC Perio & Implants.
Schedule a Consultation Step Two
Informed Discussion
We explain what we found and what removal would involve, so the decision genuinely rests with you afterward before anything else at all gets underway.
Step Three
Comfort Preparation
The area is numbed thoroughly, and a full spectrum of sedation options is available for the procedure itself before anything else at all gets underway.
Step Four
Surgical Removal
Each molar is removed using the approach that its position calls for, whether it is erupted or fully impacted before anything else at all gets underway.
Step Five
Recovery Guidance
You leave with clear instructions covering swelling, diet, and exactly what to expect across the first week before anything else at all gets underway.
The Benefits of Wisdom Teeth Removal
Relieves Pain
Removing an impacted or partially erupted third molar relieves the pain and the pressure it creates at the back of the mouth and protects what remains healthy around it too.
Prevents Infection
Partially erupted molars create pockets where bacteria collect, and removal ends the repeated infections that follow from it and protects what remains healthy around it too.
Protects Alignment
Third molars can push the teeth in front of them out of position, undoing alignment that took years to establish properly and protecting what remains healthy around it too.
Easier Cleaning
These molars are notoriously hard to clean thoroughly, and removing them lowers the decay risk across the whole back of the mouth over the long term ahead of you.
