Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom Teeth Removal in Elk Grove, CA – Expert Care at Ora Dental Implant Studio

At Ora Dental Implant Studio, we specialize in wisdom teeth extractions for patients in Elk Grove, Sacramento, Galt, and the greater Northern California area. Wisdom teeth, or third molars, typically emerge in the late teens or early twenties. While some individuals experience no issues, for many, these teeth cause pain, misalignment, or infection, requiring professional extraction.

With Dr. Devan Dalla’s extensive experience—spanning 15+ years and over 15,000 successful oral surgeries—our team provides precise, safe, and comfortable wisdom tooth extractions. Whether you are experiencing pain, swelling, or have been advised by your dentist to remove your wisdom teeth, we are here to offer advanced surgical solutions with state-of-the-art technology to make the process as smooth as possible.

Why Wisdom Teeth Often Need Removal

Wisdom teeth are notorious for causing dental complications due to their location at the very back of the mouth, often lacking the space needed to grow in properly. When they do not erupt correctly, they can cause:

• Impacted Wisdom Teeth: The teeth may get trapped under the gumline or partially emerge, leading to pain, swelling, and potential infection.
• Crowding & Misalignment: As wisdom teeth push against neighboring teeth, they can shift alignment, reversing the effects of orthodontic work.
• Tooth Decay & Gum Infections: Partially erupted wisdom teeth create food traps that are difficult to clean, leading to cavities and gum disease.
• Cysts & Jawbone Damage: In severe cases, impacted wisdom teeth can form cysts that erode surrounding bone and cause serious jaw complications.

At Ora Dental Implant Studio, we use 3D CBCT imaging to evaluate the exact position of your wisdom teeth and determine whether extraction is the best course of action. If removal is recommended, we ensure a minimally invasive approach for optimal healing.

Wisdom Teeth Extraction Process at Ora Dental Implant Studio

Wisdom teeth extractions range from simple removals to complex surgical extractions, depending on whether the teeth are fully erupted or impacted. Our team prioritizes patient comfort and safety, offering sedation dentistry options for a stress-free, pain-free experience.

What to Expect During Your Wisdom Teeth Extraction

1. Comprehensive Consultation & 3D Imaging:

   • We perform a thorough evaluation using advanced CBCT scans to determine the best treatment plan for your wisdom teeth removal.

2. Sedation & Local Anesthesia for Comfort:

   • Depending on your case and anxiety level, we offer IV sedation, oral sedation, and nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to keep you calm and comfortable during the procedure.

3. Wisdom Teeth Extraction:

   • Simple Extractions (for fully erupted teeth): We carefully loosen and remove the teeth with minimal discomfort.
   • Surgical Extractions (for impacted teeth): A small incision is made in the gum to access and remove the tooth. If needed, we may section the tooth into smaller pieces for easier removal.

4. Sutures & Healing Support:

   • We may use dissolvable stitches to promote healing.
   • For faster recovery, we offer Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) therapy, which accelerates healing and reduces post-surgical swelling.

5. Post-Op Care & Recovery Instructions:

   • We provide detailed aftercare guidelines to minimize discomfort and prevent complications, such as dry socket or infection.

Recovery & Aftercare: What to Expect After Wisdom Teeth Removal

Most patients experience mild swelling and discomfort for a few days, which can be managed with cold compresses and prescribed pain medications. To ensure a smooth recovery, follow these key aftercare tips:

✅ Rest & Apply Ice Packs: Reduce swelling by applying ice packs for 15-20 minutes at a time.
✅ Stick to a Soft Diet: Eat foods like yogurt, mashed potatoes, smoothies, and soups for the first few days.
✅ Avoid Straws & Smoking: Suction can dislodge the protective blood clot, leading to dry socket, a painful condition that delays healing.
✅ Maintain Oral Hygiene: Gently rinse with warm salt water after 24 hours and brush carefully around the extraction site.
✅ Attend Follow-Up Appointments: We schedule post-op checkups to monitor healing and address any concerns.

At Ora Dental Implant Studio, we provide ongoing support to ensure your recovery is smooth and stress-free.
