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 Rancho Cucamonga Dentistry, Dr. Munguia uses CBCT imaging and digital X-rays to thoroughly evaluate each wisdom tooth before recommending removal. Wisdom teeth removal in Rancho Cucamonga, CA, is performed with precision and care to minimize discomfort and support a smooth recovery.
Know the Warning Signs
Signs You May Need Wisdom Teeth Removal
If you’re noticing any of the following, wisdom teeth removal in Rancho Cucamonga, 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.

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.
