Dealing with wisdom tooth pain or pressure? You’re not alone. Wisdom teeth are among the most commonly removed teeth in the US—and for good reason. When they don’t come in properly, they can cause serious discomfort, infection, and damage to neighboring teeth. The good news: modern wisdom tooth extraction is faster, safer, and more comfortable than most people expect.
At West Coast Dental of Riverside, our experienced oral surgery team is committed to making your extraction as smooth and stress-free as possible—from your first consultation to your final follow-up.
If your dentist has recommended wisdom teeth removal, you’ll likely be referred to an oral surgeon who will perform the procedure in their office. The recovery period is typically just a few days, allowing you to get back to your normal routine quickly. Many patients from Riverside, Corona, Moreno Valley, and Jurupa Valley choose West Coast Dental for its convenient location, flexible hours, and affordable care.
Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars located at the back of your mouth. These teeth usually emerge between the ages of 16 and 25 and are often identified through routine X-rays. Common reasons for removal include:
Before any procedure takes place, you’ll meet with the oral surgeon to discuss the extraction in detail. This is a great opportunity to get all your questions answered. During this appointment, make sure to:
Coming in informed and prepared makes the whole process go more smoothly.
The surgery itself typically takes 45 minutes or less. To ensure you feel no pain, you’ll receive one of the following types of anesthesia:
If necessary, the surgeon will make small incisions in your gums or bone to access and remove the teeth, then stitch the wounds closed to promote healing. These stitches typically dissolve within a few days. Gauze pads are placed in the mouth afterward to absorb any bleeding.
How quickly you bounce back depends largely on the type of anesthesia used. Local anesthesia patients can often drive themselves home and resume light activities the same day. General anesthesia patients will need someone to drive them home and should plan for a slower start.
Most people experience little to no pain after surgery, though some swelling and mild discomfort in the first three days is normal. Full healing generally takes a few weeks, but the most uncomfortable phase usually passes quickly.
Follow these simple dos and don’ts to protect your healing and avoid complications.
Wisdom teeth that aren’t removed can lead to worsening problems over time—impaction, infection, crowding, and more. Early removal tends to mean a faster recovery and lower risk of complications. With modern dental technology, the procedure is more efficient and comfortable than ever before.
Don’t wait until discomfort becomes a bigger problem. The team at West Coast Dental of Riverside is here to help patients from Riverside, Corona, Moreno Valley, and Jurupa Valley (Mira Loma) get the care they need, when they need it.

Common signs include pain or pressure at the back of your mouth, swelling around the jaw, difficulty opening your mouth fully, and recurring gum infections near the back molars. The most reliable way to know for certain is to have an oral surgeon evaluate your X-rays and symptoms in person.
The procedure typically takes 45 minutes or less, depending on the number of teeth being removed and whether any are impacted. Your pre-surgery consultation will give you a more precise estimate based on your specific situation.
West Coast Dental of Riverside offers three anesthesia options: local anesthesia (numbing only), IV sedation (drowsy but responsive), and general anesthesia (fully asleep). Your surgeon will recommend the best option based on your comfort level and the complexity of the procedure.
Soft foods are best for the first several days. Good options include pasta, rice, soup, mashed potatoes, yogurt, and smoothies (eaten with a spoon, not a straw). Avoid anything hard, crunchy, or sticky until your mouth has fully healed.
Most patients feel significantly better within three days. Complete tissue healing typically takes a few weeks. Patients who follow post-operative instructions carefully, especially avoiding straws and smoking, tend to recover faster with fewer complications.
