What Are Wisdom Teeth and Why Do They Need to Come Out?
Wisdom teeth are the third molars, the last set of permanent teeth to erupt, usually appearing in late adolescence or early adulthood. For most people, there is not enough space in the jaw for these teeth to come in properly. When space is insufficient, wisdom teeth can become impacted, remaining trapped beneath the gum line or partially emerging at an angle. Impacted wisdom teeth push against adjacent teeth and jaw structures, creating pressure, pain, and crowding. Partially erupted wisdom teeth are also difficult to keep clean, creating conditions where bacteria and food become trapped, leading to infection, gum disease, and cysts. Removal is often recommended preventatively in younger patients, when healing is faster and roots are not yet fully developed, rather than waiting until the symptoms become acute.
What the Wisdom Teeth Removal Service at LA Dental Clinic Includes
LA Dental Clinic's wisdom teeth removal service in Los Angeles is a complete package. The following six components are included in every case.
Pre-Operative Consultation
An in-depth assessment of your wisdom teeth, medical history, and treatment goals before any surgery is scheduled.
CT Scan
A detailed three-dimensional scan that maps the exact position of your wisdom teeth roots as well as nearby structures including nerves and sinuses, allowing for precise and safe surgical planning.
Sedation
IV sedation and other comfort options are available so you can relax or sleep through the procedure. Most patients have little to no memory of the extraction.
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma)
Applied to the extraction site immediately after surgery to accelerate healing and significantly reduce the risk of post-operative complications including dry socket.
Anti-Inflammatory Medication
Extra anti-inflammatory medication administered during surgery to minimise post-operative swelling and reduce discomfort during the first days of recovery.
All Post-Operative Visits
LA Dental Clinic places no limit on the number of follow-up appointments. The area is monitored until healing is confirmed complete.
Reasons Wisdom Teeth May Need to Be Removed
Removal is not always immediately necessary, but the following situations, confirmed from the practice's own patient information, indicate that extraction should be considered.
- Impaction: Wisdom teeth that are stuck beneath the gum line or only partially erupted, often causing pressure and pushing against adjacent teeth.
- Pain or discomfort: Persistent soreness, pressure, or headaches originating from the back of the jaw where the wisdom teeth are positioned.
- Damage to adjacent teeth: Wisdom teeth pushing against the second molars can cause crowding, shifting, and root resorption of otherwise healthy teeth.
- Infection or gum disease: Partially erupted wisdom teeth are difficult to clean, trapping bacteria and food, and creating chronic infection known as pericoronitis.
- Cysts or tumours: In rare cases, cysts or tumours develop around impacted wisdom teeth, requiring removal of the tooth and surrounding tissue.
- Orthodontic concerns: Where an orthodontist recommends removal to prevent crowding or interference with bite alignment during or after treatment.
- Preventative removal: Many clinicians recommend removal in the early twenties, when healing is faster, roots are not yet fully developed, and complications can be prevented before they arise.
It is often easier and safer to remove wisdom teeth before problems develop rather than after. In younger patients, the roots are not yet fully formed, the bone is less dense, and recovery tends to be faster and more straightforward.
How Wisdom Teeth Removal Works at LA Dental Clinic
LA Dental Clinic follows a five-step process for every wisdom teeth removal case in Los Angeles, from initial consultation through to confirmed healing.
1
Free Virtual Consultation (15 Minutes)
Book a free virtual consultation with the doctor. This initial meeting allows LA Dental Clinic to discuss your situation, evaluate your needs, and provide a ballpark estimate for your wisdom teeth removal. No commitment is required at this stage.
2
In-Person Consultation and Records Collection
At the in-person consultation, LA Dental Clinic takes X-rays, a digital scan, and a CT scan, and conducts a thorough medical history review. A detailed quote, treatment sequence, and timeline are provided. All necessary consent forms and paperwork are completed at this appointment. If you are ready to proceed, the surgery date is planned.
3
Wisdom Teeth Removal and PRP Placement
On the day of surgery, you arrive with a caretaker. LA Dental Clinic reviews your X-rays and answers any remaining questions before proceeding. IV sedation is administered. Once you are comfortably sedated, the wisdom teeth are removed and PRP is placed in the extraction sites to promote faster healing and reduce complications. After the procedure, LA Dental Clinic helps you to your vehicle and reviews all post-operative instructions with your caretaker.
4
Post-Operative Care During Week One
The first week after surgery is the primary healing period. LA Dental Clinic provides detailed post-operative care instructions covering diet (soft foods only), activity restrictions, oral hygiene, and what to expect during healing. The anti-inflammatory medication administered during surgery is specifically chosen to reduce swelling in this period. PRP further accelerates tissue repair and has brought the rate of dry socket to near zero for patients treated at the practice.
5
Post-Operative Follow-Up Visit
After approximately one week, LA Dental Clinic schedules a follow-up visit to check that the extraction sites are healing correctly. The area is irrigated and any remaining sutures are removed, though they typically dissolve on their own by this point. LA Dental Clinic places no limit on the number of post-operative visits needed. The area continues to be monitored until healing is confirmed as complete.
What Makes Wisdom Teeth Removal Different at LA Dental Clinic
LA Dental Clinic's wisdom teeth removal service in Los Angeles differs from a standard extraction in three clinically significant ways, all confirmed from the practice's own patient information.
Advanced CT Imaging for Every Case
LA Dental Clinic uses the latest CT imaging technology to produce a three-dimensional map of each patient's wisdom teeth, including the precise position of the roots and the location of nearby structures such as the inferior alveolar nerve and the sinus cavities. This level of detail is not available from a standard two-dimensional X-ray and allows the surgical approach to be planned with a higher degree of precision and safety.
PRP and Grafting in Every Case
Platelet Rich Plasma is added to every wisdom teeth removal case at LA Dental Clinic. PRP is produced from a small sample of the patient's own blood, concentrated in a centrifuge, and placed at the extraction site immediately after surgery. It accelerates the body's natural healing process and has brought the rate of dry socket, one of the most common and painful post-operative complications following wisdom teeth removal, to near zero for patients treated at the practice.
Sedation for Minimal Discomfort
IV sedation is available for every wisdom teeth removal case at LA Dental Clinic. Most patients are completely relaxed throughout the procedure and have little to no memory of it when they wake up. The procedure is already over before most patients realise it has happened.

What to Expect During Recovery
What to Expect During Recovery
Recovery from wisdom teeth removal varies depending on the complexity of the extraction and how many teeth were removed. The following general guidance reflects the recovery experience for patients treated at LA Dental Clinic.
Recovery from wisdom teeth removal varies depending on the complexity of the extraction and how many teeth were removed. The following general guidance reflects the recovery experience for patients treated at LA Dental Clinic.
- Swelling and soreness in the jaw and surrounding area are normal in the first few days. The anti-inflammatory medication administered during surgery at LA Dental Clinic is specifically selected to reduce post-operative swelling.
- Soft foods only for the first several days. Hard, crunchy, or chewy food should be avoided until the extraction sites have healed sufficiently.
- Avoid smoking and using straws during the healing period, as the suction can dislodge the blood clot that protects the extraction site and increase the risk of dry socket.
- Keep the mouth clean by rinsing gently with warm salt water as advised by LA Dental Clinic. Avoid vigorous rinsing or touching the extraction site directly.
- Most patients can return to work and light activity within a few days. More physically demanding activities should be avoided for approximately a week.
- LA Dental Clinic schedules a follow-up visit at around one week and places no limit on the number of post-operative appointments needed to confirm healing is complete.

"Absolutely wonderful! I hadn't been to the dentist in a few years, and everyone made sure I got the treatment I needed without being judgemental or condescending about it. The hygienist is kind and talkative, and everyone was very cognizant of my needs and made sure I wasn't in pain. Dr. Nasiry is great, and I completely trust her with my teeth and their future care! (They are also very upfront and honest about pricing, which is very appreciated.)"

"Was in the Los Angeles area for business, and my veneer came off. Not only did they answer my call at 3am but got me into see a dentist in between their already booked schedule. Once I arrived I was greeted by a very kind receptionist and a clean waiting room. I was taken back by Jose, very nice and diligent tech and then I got to meet my dentist. Like an angel for my teeth. The doctor was friendly, gentle and incredibly knowledgeable. She got me fixed up and helped me find dentist back in phx to continue my care. I am making plans to travel back to Los Angeles to see LA Dental again! Amazing!"

"My first visit at Dr. Nasiry was excellent. The staff was welcoming friendly and funny. They eased my nerves. Once I was seated they had music playing which was new but pleasant. The doctor was easy to talk to and she listen to all my concerns. She makes you feel like you are her number one priority. Ive had braces put it and I was terrified but they all helped me get through it. I have a favorite assistant who goes above and beyond to make sure you are ok and getting the best treatedment. This place is great and im glad I made the decision to make them my permanent dental family."

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you evaluate the position of my wisdom teeth before surgery?
LA Dental Clinic uses CT imaging technology to produce a three-dimensional scan of the wisdom teeth and surrounding structures before any extraction procedure. This maps the exact position of the roots as well as nearby anatomical structures including the inferior alveolar nerve and the sinus cavities. The level of detail available from CT imaging is not possible with standard two-dimensional X-rays, and it allows LA Dental Clinic to plan the safest and most precise surgical approach for each individual case.
How is patient comfort managed during wisdom teeth removal?
LA Dental Clinic offers several sedation options to help patients relax during wisdom teeth removal, including IV sedation. Under IV sedation, most patients are completely at ease throughout the procedure and have little to no memory of it when they wake up. The procedure is already complete before most patients are aware that it has started. Sedation is discussed and agreed upon at the pre-operative consultation so that the right option is in place for your specific situation.
What is PRP and what does it do after wisdom teeth removal?
PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma. It is produced by taking a small sample of the patient's own blood, placing it in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, and then applying the resulting plasma directly to the extraction site at the time of surgery. Platelets contain growth factors that accelerate the body's natural healing response. LA Dental Clinic adds PRP to every wisdom teeth removal case. This has resulted in significantly faster healing for patients and has brought the rate of post-operative complications such as dry socket to near zero.
What does the wisdom teeth removal service at LA Dental Clinic include?
The service includes a pre-operative consultation, a detailed CT scan to map the roots and surrounding anatomy, sedation during the procedure, the application of PRP to the extraction sites to promote faster healing, administration of extra anti-inflammatory medication during surgery to reduce post-operative swelling, and all necessary post-operative follow-up visits. LA Dental Clinic places no limit on the number of post-operative appointments needed to confirm that healing is complete.
When is the right time to have wisdom teeth removed?
Many clinicians recommend removal in the late teenage years or early twenties, even when wisdom teeth are not yet causing obvious problems. At this stage, roots are not yet fully formed, the surrounding bone is less dense, and recovery tends to be faster and more straightforward. Waiting until impaction, infection, or crowding has already occurred typically means a more complicated extraction and a longer recovery. LA Dental Clinic advises on the right timing at the consultation based on your specific clinical situation, including X-ray and CT findings.
How long does recovery take and when can I return to normal activity?
Most patients can return to light activity and work within a few days of wisdom teeth removal at LA Dental Clinic. More strenuous physical activity should be avoided for approximately one week. Soft foods are required for the first several days, and the full extraction site continues to heal over a number of weeks. LA Dental Clinic schedules a post-operative visit at around one week and continues to monitor the area until healing is complete. The PRP and anti-inflammatory medication provided during surgery are specifically selected to make the recovery period shorter and more comfortable than a standard extraction.
Is wisdom teeth removal suitable for patients with demanding or unpredictable schedules?
Yes. The five-step process at LA Dental Clinic is designed to minimise the number of appointments needed and to plan the surgery around the patient's schedule from the start. Most patients require a few days of lighter activity after surgery and can plan accordingly. The fact that LA Dental Clinic adds PRP to every case and monitors healing at no additional appointment cost means that recovery is managed efficiently and complications are rare. For patients who cannot afford unexpected dental emergencies in their schedule, having wisdom teeth removed proactively, before an infection or impaction forces the issue, is a more practical approach.
