Signs You May Need Wisdom Tooth Removal

  • Pain or pressure at the back of the jaw
  • Swollen, red, or tender gums behind your last molar
  • Difficulty opening your mouth fully
  • Recurring infections (pericoronitis)
  • Crowding of your other teeth
  • Cyst formation around the tooth

Why Choose a Specialist?

General dentists can remove simple wisdom teeth, but impacted or deeply embedded wisdom teeth carry higher risks best managed by an oral surgeon. Dr. Steven Leung's dual DDS and MD training means you receive hospital-level surgical expertise in a comfortable office setting.

IV Sedation Available

Many patients prefer IV sedation (twilight sedation) for wisdom tooth removal — you remain relaxed and comfortable with little to no memory of the procedure.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

At what age should wisdom teeth be removed?

The ideal age is between 17–25, when the roots are not fully formed and healing is fastest. However, wisdom teeth can be removed at any age if they are causing problems.

How long does wisdom tooth surgery take?

Removing all four wisdom teeth typically takes 45–90 minutes. Simple erupted teeth may take less time; impacted or complex cases may take longer.

What can I eat after wisdom tooth removal?

Stick to soft foods for the first 3–5 days: yogurt, smoothies, mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs. Avoid hard, crunchy, or spicy foods, and don't use straws for at least 24–48 hours.

How do I prevent dry socket?

Follow your post-op instructions carefully: no smoking, no straws, no vigorous rinsing for 24 hours. If you experience worsening pain 3–5 days after surgery, call us immediately.
