Wisdom teeth removal at Icónica
The right decision.
For each tooth.
Wisdom teeth are the third molars at the back of the mouth. Some remain healthy and functional; others can be impacted, difficult to clean, or associated with infection or damage. The decision to remove them considers your examination, imaging, and individual risks.

Monitor
Healthy and manageable
A wisdom tooth that is healthy, functional, and maintainable may be monitored with regular examinations.
- What matters
- Health, position, and the ability to keep it clean.
- Your next step
- Review the findings, alternatives, and treatment sequence with Dr. Garcia.
Evaluate
Symptoms and warning signs
Pain, recurrent gum infection, decay, or concerns about adjacent teeth warrant assessment. An absence of pain does not establish that a tooth is healthy.

- Clinical findings and appropriate imaging.

- Review the findings, alternatives, and treatment sequence with Dr. Garcia.
Plan removal
Understand the approach
Removal may be recommended when disease or the assessed risk makes intervention appropriate. We discuss access, roots, nearby structures, and recovery.

Before wisdom tooth removal
Understand the position.
Plan with clarity.
Your wisdom teeth deserve an individual assessment. We review how each tooth sits, the surrounding tissues, and the imaging needed to explain your options.
A CBCT scan may be considered when additional three-dimensional information is clinically indicated.
Discuss your wisdom teeth with us ↗Tooth position
Whether the wisdom tooth is erupted, partially covered by gum tissue, or impacted—and its relationship to the neighboring tooth.
Roots & nearby structures
Imaging helps assess the roots and their relationship to structures such as the lower-jaw nerve and upper-jaw sinus.
Your next step
We explain the findings, treatment options, and individual considerations before you decide how to proceed.
The Icónica approach
Thoughtful steps.
Personal attention.
Your care begins with a conversation and a clear assessment. We connect the treatment recommendation to your health, comfort, and long-term plan.
Examine & image
Review symptoms, tooth position, health history, and the imaging appropriate for your case.
Discuss your options
Compare monitoring and removal, including anesthesia, risks, timing, and costs.
Treat the planned teeth
The surgical approach follows the position and access of each tooth.
Review recovery
Receive written aftercare and a follow-up plan, with clear ways to reach our team.
After treatment
Prepare for recovery.
Know whom to call.
Plan your food, activity, and support around the instructions you receive. Soreness and swelling can occur, and recovery varies with the procedure. Contact the office about worsening symptoms or concerns rather than waiting for your next visit.
Before you begin, we review your health history, medications, treatment alternatives, expected sequence, and costs. Bring your questions so the plan is clear.
Advanced imaging at Icónica
Vatech CBCT.
CleverOne clarity.
Icónica uses Vatech cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) with CleverOne software to support diagnosis and the planning of surgical and dental implant procedures. When clinically indicated, three-dimensional imaging helps us assess tooth roots, available bone, and nearby structures such as nerves and sinuses.
CleverOne supports image review and visual treatment planning, helping us explain your anatomy and proposed care more clearly. For implant treatment, this information supports assessment of the site and planning of implant position.
Imaging is selected for your individual needs. CBCT is used when the additional three-dimensional information is clinically appropriate; it is not required for every examination or procedure.

Learn about wisdom teeth removal, planning, care, and payment.
Planning & your options
Does everyone need wisdom teeth removed?
No. The recommendation depends on the health and position of the teeth, current disease, and the risks of keeping or removing them.
What does impacted mean?
An impacted tooth cannot fully emerge into its normal position, often because of limited space or its angle. It may be partly or fully covered by gum or bone.
Can wisdom teeth cause problems without pain?
Yes. Examination and imaging can identify issues that are not obvious from symptoms alone.
Do I need all four removed?
Each tooth is assessed. The number treated and whether treatment is combined depend on the findings and your plan.
Treatment & ongoing care
Is a CBCT scan always necessary?
No. The type of imaging is chosen for the clinical question. Three-dimensional imaging may help when conventional images do not provide enough information.
What are the possible risks?
Risks can include bleeding, infection, dry socket, delayed healing, and injury to nearby structures. Nerve or sinus concerns depend on tooth location and are discussed individually.
How is comfort managed?
Your anesthesia plan is reviewed before surgery. Local anesthesia numbs the area; additional appropriate options are discussed according to your needs and health.
How long will recovery take?
Early recovery and return to usual activities vary with the teeth removed and individual healing. Follow the timeline given for your procedure.
When should I contact the office?
Contact us about persistent bleeding, increasing pain, fever, worsening swelling, or unexpected numbness. Seek urgent care for difficulty breathing or swallowing.
Costs & payment
How much does treatment cost?
Your estimate depends on the findings, procedure or restoration, complexity, and additional care. We review the planned fees and inclusions before you proceed.
Will insurance cover my treatment?
Coverage depends on your plan and the reason for treatment. Cosmetic services may not be covered. Our team can help review benefits and the estimated patient portion; an estimate does not guarantee insurer payment.
Do you offer financing?
Icónica offers access to Cherry, Sunbit, and CareCredit. Approval, rates, offers, and repayment terms vary by provider and applicant.
