Wisdom Teeth Removal in West Covina, CA
Wisdom teeth (third molars) are the last teeth to develop, typically emerging between ages 17 and 25. When they become impacted, partially erupted, or cause crowding, extraction is often necessary to protect your oral health. At Harmony Dental Care in West Covina, Dr. Khaef performs wisdom tooth extractions with advanced surgical technique, 3D CBCT imaging, and sedation for a safe, comfortable experience. Early evaluation of wisdom teeth—before problems arise—allows for easier extraction and faster recovery. Our team monitors wisdom tooth development during routine exams and recommends removal at the optimal time. Teens and young adults from La Puente, South San Jose Hills, and Baldwin Park trust our team for safe, comfortable wisdom teeth removal.
When Should Wisdom Teeth Be Removed?
Extraction is recommended when wisdom teeth are fully or partially impacted (trapped in the jaw or gums), erupting at an angle toward adjacent teeth, causing crowding or shifting of existing teeth, partially erupted with a gum flap that traps bacteria (pericoronitis), developing cysts or tumors, or causing repeated infections or decay.
The Extraction Process
Using 3D CBCT scans, Dr. Khaef evaluates the position of each wisdom tooth relative to nerves, sinuses, and adjacent teeth. On surgery day, anesthesia and sedation ensure your complete comfort. Impacted teeth may require a small incision and bone removal. The extraction site is closed with dissolvable sutures, and detailed aftercare instructions are provided.
Recovery Tips
Most patients recover from wisdom teeth removal within five to seven days. Swelling peaks on days two to three and then improves. We recommend a soft food diet for the first few days, ice packs for swelling, gentle salt water rinses starting 24 hours post-surgery, and avoiding straws, smoking, and vigorous rinsing to protect the blood clot and prevent dry socket.
Why Choose Harmony Dental Care?

Hundreds of 5-Star Reviews
I’ve always been a bit nervous about visiting the dentist, but this office completely changed my perspective. The front desk staff is incredibly warm, and my cleaning was thorough yet completely painless. They go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable. Highly recommend!
Very professional and incredibly efficient. I was called back right at my scheduled appointment time, and the clinic itself is absolutely spotless. It’s refreshing to find a dental practice that truly values their patients' time without rushing the care.
We brought our two young kids in for their checkups, and the whole team was fantastic. They were exceptionally patient, gentle, and somehow managed to make the whole process fun for the kids. We’ve definitely found our forever family dentist.
Fantastic experience from start to finish! The dentist took the time to clearly explain every step of my procedure and answered all of my questions. The results are absolutely amazing, and my smile has never looked better. I couldn't be happier!
