Wisdom teeth have a way of causing trouble — crowding, pain, infection, or damage to nearby teeth — often before you even feel a symptom. Removing them, along with other oral surgery procedures, is far more comfortable and predictable in the hands of a specialist. At Temecula Implants, these procedures are performed by an experienced oral surgeon using advanced imaging and sedation, so your care is safe, precise, and as easy on you as possible.

Wisdom Teeth Removal & Oral Surgery Services

From routine wisdom teeth to more involved surgical cases, we handle a full range of oral surgery with precision and comfort in mind.

Wisdom Teeth Removal

Whether your wisdom teeth are fully erupted, partially through the gum, or fully impacted beneath the bone, we remove them safely — often before they cause pain, crowding, or infection. Advanced 3D imaging lets us plan around the nerves and sinuses for a safer, smoother procedure.

Other Oral Surgery

Beyond wisdom teeth, we perform a range of oral surgery procedures, including simple and surgical tooth extractions, removal of damaged or non-restorable teeth, and treatment of impacted teeth. If you’ve been referred for oral surgery, we’ll review your case and explain your options clearly.

Every procedure is planned around your comfort, your anatomy, and your long-term oral health.

Surgery Performed by a Specialist

Oral surgery is exactly that — surgery — and it’s safest in the hands of a specialist. Dr. Peter Krakowiak is a board-certified oral surgeon recognized among the World’s Top 100 Doctors (Class of 2023, GSI), with advanced training in both surgery and anesthesia. That means precise, experienced care and comfortable sedation, all under one roof.

Why See an Oral Surgeon

Wisdom teeth and complex extractions often sit close to nerves, sinuses, and neighboring teeth. An oral surgeon has the advanced training, imaging, and anesthesia expertise to handle these cases precisely and safely — including impacted teeth that a general dentist may refer out. Choosing a specialist means fewer surprises, better comfort, and a smoother recovery.

Recovering After Wisdom Teeth or Oral Surgery

Most patients recover from wisdom teeth removal within a few days. Some swelling and soreness are normal and easily managed with the medication and instructions we provide. You’ll want to rest, stick to soft foods, and avoid activities that could disturb the healing sites (like using straws) for the first several days. We’ll walk you through exactly how to care for the area and what to watch for, and we’re just a phone call away if you have questions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I really need my wisdom teeth removed?

Not everyone does — but many people benefit from removal to prevent crowding, pain, infection, or damage to nearby teeth. Imaging tells us whether yours are likely to cause problems.

Does wisdom teeth removal hurt?

The procedure itself is painless thanks to anesthesia and sedation options. Afterward, mild soreness and swelling are normal and easily managed with the aftercare we provide.

How long is recovery?

Most people feel much better within a few days and back to normal within about a week. We’ll give you a clear recovery timeline for your specific case.

What is a dry socket and how do I avoid it?

A dry socket happens when the healing blood clot is dislodged too early. You can lower your risk by following aftercare instructions — especially avoiding straws, smoking, and vigorous rinsing in the first few days.

Can I be sedated for the procedure?

Yes. We offer several sedation options, delivered by an anesthesia-trained oral surgeon, so you can have your procedure comfortably and safely.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. T and his staff are all amazing!  I'm the past, I'd rather ram toothpicks into my eyes than go to the dentist, but after my experience here, my whole outlook has changed.  I highly recommend anybody looking to smile again give Dr. T a call.  He can change your life.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Staff is very knowledgeable and incredibly friendly. They were the only office that took the time to explain all my options and walk me through each process. For such a sensitive matter they really make you feel at ease! Every single person in that office from the Dr all the way down are very supportive and always have a smile on their faces! By far the best dentist I’ve ever been to.

Just to let you know I have been coming to this office for 3 years and the staff especially Maria has always been great, gentle, and consoling every time I’m here. Today I met Dr. Ross and couldn’t have asked for a gentler touch and concern for the patient. As you can see I’m a nervous patient. But they have helped me overcome my fears and embarrassment. The front staff is always welcoming and friendly they make a wonderful first impression. I knew when I choose Dr. T. That after checking with 4 other doctors he was the right choice. Thank you for a wonderful experience every time!
