Wisdom Teeth

We are experts in the removal of wisdom teeth. We remove thousands of wisdom teeth each year and have developed protocols and procedures that will make your visits a positive experience. At Heritage Oral Surgery and Implant Centers we pride ourselves in doing things differently.
Frequently our patients tell us they are nervous about having their wisdom teeth removed. We understand that for many patients this is their first experience with surgery or anesthesia. Often these same apprehensive patients, following their surgery and recovery, share with us that it was much easier than they had anticipated.
Our compassionate and caring staff are ready and willing to assist you every step of the way, from making your appointments and answering any questions you may have, as well as processing, and following up with your insurance. Our facilities are amongst the most modern in all of Southern California, but our attention to personalized care is what our patients appreciate most.
An integral part of this outstanding care is the education and the communication process. In most people their third molars or wisdom teeth begin to erupt during their late teens and early 20s.
What happens when 32 teeth try to fit into a size 28 mouth?
Often the normal pattern of eruption is complicated by a lack of space, which can result in impaction. A tooth is considered to be impacted when it becomes trapped in the jaw.
Wisdom teeth can cause many problems such as swelling, jaw stiffness, pain and infection. The most serious problems occur when cysts or tumors form around the impacted tooth, resulting in damage to the jawbone and adjacent teeth.
What are the advantages of early removal of wisdom teeth versus just waiting until they create a problem?
The wisdom teeth of younger patients (14 to 18 years) have undeveloped roots which do not compromise either the sinuses or the nerves. Our experience has shown that early evaluation and treatment can result in shorter recovery time and fewer complications.
In conclusion, whether your wisdom teeth are painful or not, you can rely on our expertise to diagnose any existing or potential problems.”
