Wisdom Teeth Removal in Cupertino, CA
Wisdom teeth (third molars) typically develop between the ages of 17 and 25. For many patients, there is not enough room in the jaw for these teeth to emerge properly. When wisdom teeth become impacted, partially erupt, or grow at an angle, they can cause pain, infection, cyst formation, and damage to adjacent teeth.
At Cupertino Oral & Facial Surgery, Dr. Brian Lee evaluates each case individually using CBCT 3D imaging to determine the exact position of each tooth and its relationship to nerves and sinuses before recommending a treatment plan.
What Is Wisdom Teeth Removal?
Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars that typically emerge during your late teens or early twenties. While some people have no issues with their wisdom teeth, others may experience pain, crowding, or complications that require professional tooth extraction.
Wisdom teeth removal is a common surgical procedure designed to prevent or resolve problems like:
- Impacted teeth (teeth trapped under the gums or bone).
- Overcrowding that affects alignment.
- Tooth infections or cysts forming around the wisdom teeth.
- Gum disease or decay in hard-to-reach areas.
Signs You May Need Wisdom Teeth Extraction
Not everyone needs their wisdom teeth removed, but certain symptoms indicate it may be necessary:
- Persistent jaw pain or swelling.
- Red, swollen, or tender gums.
- Difficulty opening your mouth.
- Pain when chewing or biting.
- Frequent infections in the back of your mouth.
If you’re experiencing any of these issues, schedule a consultation with Cupertino Oral & Facial Surgery to determine the best course of action.
