At Ora Dentistry in Elk Grove, we understand that wisdom teeth removal is a common procedure that many individuals will need at some point in their lives. Our experienced dental team, led by Dr. Devan Dalla, is dedicated to providing safe and comfortable wisdom teeth extractions using the latest technology and sedation options.

Wisdom Tooth Surgeons

Dr. Devan Dalla and his team are highly trained and experienced in performing wisdom teeth extractions. Whether your wisdom teeth are impacted or have erupted improperly, causing pain, infection, or alignment issues, our team can help. We use advanced imaging technology, such as the RAYSCAN Alpha Plus CT-Scan 3D, to accurately diagnose and plan the extraction process with precision. This ensures a higher level of safety and effectiveness during the procedure.

Why Remove Wisdom Teeth?

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, typically emerge in late adolescence or early adulthood. While some people may have no issues with their wisdom teeth, others may experience problems such as:

• Impaction: When the teeth are trapped beneath the gums and cannot emerge properly.
• Misalignment: Wisdom teeth can grow at awkward angles, disrupting the alignment of other teeth.
• Infection and Decay: Partially erupted wisdom teeth can create spaces that are hard to clean, leading to bacterial growth, infections, and cavities.
• Sinus Issues: In some cases, the roots of the upper wisdom teeth can grow into the sinuses, causing discomfort and sinus problems.

Removing problematic wisdom teeth can prevent these complications and ensure your oral health remains intact.

Sedation Options

At Ora Dentistry, we prioritize your comfort during wisdom teeth removal. We offer various sedation options to help you relax:

• Nitrous Oxide: Also known as laughing gas, this is a mild sedative that helps reduce anxiety.
• Oral Conscious Sedation: Taken in pill form, this sedative provides a deeper level of relaxation while keeping you conscious.
• IV Sedation: For those with higher anxiety levels or undergoing extensive procedures, IV sedation provides a deeper sedation level, ensuring a stress-free experience.

Advanced Technology in Wisdom Teeth Removal

Our use of advanced technology, such as piezo surgery, allows for precise bone cutting with minimal impact on surrounding tissues. This technique results in less postoperative pain and faster healing times compared to traditional methods.

Post-Procedure Care

Proper aftercare is crucial for a smooth recovery following wisdom teeth extraction. Dr. Dalla and his team will provide you with detailed instructions on how to care for your mouth post-surgery, including:

• Managing pain and swelling: Using prescribed pain medications and applying ice packs.
• Oral hygiene: Gently rinsing your mouth with saltwater to keep the extraction site clean.
• Diet: Eating soft foods and avoiding hard or sticky foods that can irritate the extraction site.
