What is Wisdom Teeth Extractions?
Safely Remove Problematic Teeth to Protect Your Smile
Wisdom teeth extractions involve the surgical removal of one or more of the third molars — the last teeth to erupt, typically during the late teens or early twenties. Often, these teeth become impacted, misaligned, or create overcrowding issues, making extraction necessary to maintain overall oral health.
At Ahn Dental Specialists, we specialize in safe, efficient wisdom teeth extractions. Using advanced techniques and gentle care, we ensure a smooth procedure and a comfortable recovery. Whether your wisdom teeth are currently causing issues or need proactive removal, our team is here to help.
Why Do I Need Wisdom Teeth Extractions?
Prevent Future Oral Health Problems Before They Start
Wisdom teeth often don't have enough space to emerge properly, leading to pain, infection, cysts, damage to adjacent teeth, and other complications. Extracting problematic wisdom teeth prevents these serious issues and helps maintain the alignment and health of your entire mouth.
Even if your wisdom teeth aren't causing immediate discomfort, early evaluation and timely extraction can prevent more complex problems later. At Ahn Dental Specialists, we provide comprehensive assessments to determine the best course of action to protect your smile.

Benefits of Wisdom Teeth Extractions
Frequently Asked Questions About Wisdom Teeth Extractions in Redondo Beach, CA
When should wisdom teeth be removed?
Wisdom teeth are often best removed between the ages of 17 and 25, before the roots are fully developed and complications arise. However, extractions can be performed later if necessary based on symptoms and dental evaluation.
Is wisdom teeth removal painful?
The procedure itself is performed under anesthesia, so you won’t feel any pain during extraction. Some mild discomfort and swelling are normal after the procedure, but we provide instructions and medication to ensure a smooth, comfortable recovery.
What happens if I don't remove my wisdom teeth?
If problematic wisdom teeth are not removed, they can cause crowding, infections, cysts, and even damage to adjacent teeth. Delaying treatment may lead to more complex dental and surgical issues down the road.
How long is the recovery after wisdom teeth removal?
Recovery time varies by patient, but most people feel significantly better within 3 to 5 days. Complete healing of the surgical sites may take a few weeks. Following aftercare instructions helps speed up the healing process.
Can all four wisdom teeth be removed at once?
Yes, it is common practice to remove all four wisdom teeth during one procedure, minimizing overall recovery time and reducing the need for multiple surgeries.
