Wisdom Teeth Removal - Miami, FL

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last teeth to develop and often do not have enough room to emerge properly. When they become impacted, partially erupted, or grow at an angle, they can cause pain, crowding, infection, and damage to neighboring teeth. Removing them proactively can prevent these complications before they cause lasting harm to your oral health.

At Jennifer Lopez Dental in Miami, Dr. Lopez uses CBCT cone beam imaging to see the exact position of your wisdom teeth relative to nerves, sinuses, and adjacent roots. This detailed 3D view allows her to plan the removal with greater safety, accuracy, and efficiency than traditional X-rays alone. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and most patients return to their normal routine within three to five days.

Signs that your wisdom teeth may need removal include jaw pain or stiffness, swelling at the back of the mouth, difficulty opening your jaw fully, recurring infections or bad breath near the back teeth, and pressure or shifting of your other teeth. Even wisdom teeth that have not yet caused symptoms can pose a risk if imaging shows they are impacted or positioned to cause future problems. Dr. Lopez recommends evaluation during your late teens or early twenties when the roots are still developing and removal is typically easier.
