Wisdom Teeth Extraction
Wisdom Teeth Extraction in Studio City.
Leave them in? Take them out? What’s the deal with wisdom teeth? If we had a choice, it would’ve been better to never have them, along with our appendix and tonsils. They’re just outdated body parts that sometimes play nice, and sometimes decide to throw a huge hissy fit and bring you to your knees in pain. Sometimes they don’t even hurt, but they’re just messing up the party for the rest of your mouth by shoving everyone around! So rude!Here at Dental Design Studio City, we’ll let you know if your wisdom teeth look well-behaved. Sometimes we don’t even need to tell you, because we get patients coming in begging us to take them out.
Impacted wisdom teeth are the worst, because they usually come in crooked or buried deep in the bone. Aside from horrible pain, they can sometimes turn into a bad infection, they can cause cavities or bone loss on the teeth around them, or maybe even cause your front teeth to start moving! Most often it’s best to have our oral surgeon remove them under sedation so you’ll just wake up at home in bed after it’s done – maybe you can even be the next viral YouTube sensation!

Frequently Asked Questions
Nope. Some wisdom teeth behave themselves and can stay right where they are. We’ll take a look and tell you honestly whether yours look well-behaved or whether they’re shoving the rest of your mouth around and need to go.
Usually nothing good. Impacted wisdom teeth come in crooked or stay buried in the bone, and beyond the pain they can cause infections, cavities or bone loss on the neighboring teeth, and even push your front teeth out of alignment. If one is bugging you, get it looked at before it turns into an emergency.
Most of the time our oral surgeon removes them under sedation, so you’re out for the procedure and basically wake up at home in bed after it’s done. It’s a much easier experience than most people expect.
No, our oral surgeon comes to us. You get your consult and your extraction at the same Studio City office you already know, which makes the whole thing a lot less stressful.
