Wisdom Tooth Removal
Comfortable, expert extraction for impacted or problematic wisdom teeth.
When wisdom teeth cause more harm than good
Wisdom teeth — your third set of molars — often don't have enough room to come in properly, becoming impacted or pushing against neighboring teeth. Left untreated, this can lead to pain, swelling, infection and even damage to nearby teeth. Dr. Hernández will evaluate your wisdom teeth and, if removal is recommended, use a gentle, well-planned approach with local anesthesia — and sedation if needed — to keep you comfortable throughout.
Signs it may be time to have them removed
If you notice any of these, it's worth having your wisdom teeth evaluated.
Common questions
How do I know if my wisdom teeth need to come out?
Jaw pain, swelling, difficulty opening your mouth, or crowding near your back teeth are common signs — an exam and X-rays will confirm it.
Is the procedure painful?
We numb the area with local anesthetic, and sedation is available if you'd like to be more relaxed during the procedure.
How long is recovery?
Most patients feel back to normal within a few days to a week, with soft foods and rest recommended early on.
Can I go home the same day?
Yes — the procedure typically takes under an hour and you can go home right after, with a follow-up checkup afterward.
