What Is Wisdom Teeth Removal?

Wisdom teeth removal is the surgical extraction of the third molars, the last set of teeth to develop, typically in the late teens or early twenties. Because most mouths don’t have enough room to accommodate them, wisdom teeth frequently become impacted, erupt at problematic angles, or cause crowding and infection. At Dentist of Redlands, Dr. Munguia uses CBCT imaging and digital X-rays to thoroughly evaluate each wisdom tooth before recommending removal. Wisdom teeth removal in Redlands, CA, is performed with precision and care to minimize discomfort and support a smooth recovery.

The Benefits of Wisdom Teeth Removal

Eliminates Pain

Removing problematic wisdom teeth provides immediate relief from pressure, aching, and chronic discomfort.

Prevents Infection

Extraction eliminates hard-to-clean pockets where bacteria accumulate and infections develop.

Protects Alignment

Removing crowding wisdom teeth prevents shifting and preserves the position of your existing teeth.

Prevents Cysts

Addressing impacted teeth early stops the bone and root damage that untreated cysts can cause.

Improved Oral Hygiene

With wisdom teeth gone, the back of the mouth becomes significantly easier to clean effectively.

Avoids Bigger Problems

Early removal reduces the risk of more complex, costly complications down the road.

Signs You May Need Wisdom Teeth Removal

If you’re noticing any of the following, wisdom teeth removal in Redlands, CA, may be the right solution for your oral health.

  • Pain Near Jaw: Persistent aching, pressure, or throbbing near the back molars is one of the most common signs of wisdom tooth trouble.

  • Swollen, Tender Gums: The gum tissue around an emerging or impacted wisdom tooth becomes inflamed, red, or sensitive to the touch.

  • Jaw Stiffness: Difficulty opening your mouth fully or ongoing jaw soreness can indicate a wisdom tooth is pressing against surrounding structures.

  • Crowding or Shifted Teeth: Wisdom teeth pushing against existing teeth can disrupt your alignment and undo previous orthodontic work.

  • Recurring Infections: Partially erupted wisdom teeth create pockets where bacteria collect, leading to repeated infections that won’t fully resolve.

  • Cyst Formation: Impacted wisdom teeth can develop fluid-filled cysts that damage surrounding bone, roots, and tissue if left untreated.

  • First time patient with this dentist. The dentist and staff were very friendly and the teeth cleaning was thorough. Overall I got a great impression!
    Michael MoormanGoogle · February 2024
  • I really loved the realness of Dr. Nomi Lee, DDS and her staff!! I really liked the fact on how she explained what was need to be most urgent for my teeth. Also, the fact that she had mentioned during the work she will be performing will be a time for me to get to know her as well as Dr. Lee getting to know me. So, thank you for a first time visit that was very genuine! Look forward for my teeth to be in great care with Dr. Nomi Lee, DDS Soledad Nieves

  • I visited this Nomi Lee Dental Office for dental work since December 2, 2022. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Natalie was doing a great job in deep cleaning. My whole teeth was very clean and pain free. Dr. Tarr was doing my extraction and bone graft. The procedure was performed perfectly and pain free. I am so satisfied and happy with my dental work . I highly recommended this dental clinic.
    Madelia FernamGoogle · December 2022
  • As always everyone one there is friendly and professional. From the front desk to the Hygienist who cleans my teeth everyone there makes you feel welcome and comfortable . I avoided the dentist with every excuse in the book but now it’s a pleasure to go because of the people who work there. Great staff DrLee!

  • Dr. Lee is an excellent dentist. Unfortunately, I have had many dental issues over the years and have, as a consequence, been under the care of many dentists. Dr. Lee stands out to me as one of the best I've had. Under her care, I've had general exams, teeth cleanings, braces, and two crowns. She demonstrates care, patience, and understanding for her patients. She provides recommendations for treatment without being pushy or judgmental about your decision based on that recommendation. From my personal experience, I've seen her go above and beyond to ensure her patients get what they need no matter what. As a bonus, her office staff are friendly and professional. I highly recommend this dentist!

  • I noticed that there is one patient who left a negative review for Dr Lee. My experience with Dr Lee has been totally the opposite . My husband and I have been going to Dr Lee for 7 years and we do trust her advices. When she recommended night guards, that means that you need them to protect your teeth and it was because she saw problems on your teeth that you couldn’t see. I am pretty sure that she was not trying to sell you night guards. I have been wearing night guards made by Dr Lee and noticed that I have grinded my teeth for many years without knowing it. I understand that night guards are costly. But if you want your teeth to last for a long time, it’s worthwhile to invest in a night guard made by a dentist. The reason that we keep coming back to Dr Lee is because we know that she is an experienced dentist who takes good cares of her patients. Also everyone in the office is friendly and professional.

  • ★★★★★ I recently completed orthodontic treatment with Dr. Nomi Lee, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. From the very beginning, she was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to clearly explain the entire treatment process. She made me feel comfortable and confident every step of the way, and the results exceeded my expectations. I also want to give a big thank you to her office Manager Erika, who helped me with my first appointment, linking my insurance and making every appointment smooth. Erika is a huge help when it comes to getting started with my dental treatment. If you’re looking for a general dentist and orthodontist who is skilled, kind, and has an amazing staff, I highly recommend Dr. Lee and her team. Five stars all the way!

  • I had another great experience at Dr. Nomi Lee’s office. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Dr. Lee is professional, kind, and truly cares about her patients’ well-being. I came in for a check-up and cleaning, and as always, my hygienist Yelena was fantastic—friendly, personable, and incredibly thoughtful. She always checks in to make sure I’m comfortable and takes extra care to ensure nothing is painful. It really makes a difference to be treated with that level of attentiveness. Erika in the front office is always looking out for my best interest. She never fails to have a positive demeanor. The entire staff is accommodating and kind, and they make going to the dentist a positive and stress-free experience. I highly recommend Dr. Lee and her team to anyone looking for excellent dental care with a personal touch.

  • Been going here for several months now and wow, love the friendly, warm staff and professional work. Initially, I came here for a simple tooth extraction but after further examination, the dentist saw 2 cavities and a cracked tooth. This led to several trips to their office, each one with a friendly text notification of an upcoming appointment the day prior to the procedure. Each experience has been a pleasant & professional one with the utmost concern for any pain or discomfort. The tooth extraction was a breeze and I barely felt anything. Elena did deep cleaning on my dentures 3 times and is such a sweetheart per experience, concerned for any pain and answering all my questions. This place has definitely helped me lose fear in going to the dentist 🙏

How much does wisdom teeth removal cost?

Cost varies depending on how many teeth are being removed, their position, and whether sedation is used. Dr. Munguia will provide a detailed estimate after your imaging and evaluation appointment.
