Evaluation & referral
Wisdom tooth concerns.
A clear referral path.
Pain, swelling or an impacted wisdom tooth should be evaluated promptly. We can assess the concern and coordinate specialty care when needed.
Plan your visit
Digital evaluation first
An examination and appropriate digital imaging help show the tooth position and nearby structures. We review the images with you on a monitor and explain the findings.
Impacted teeth need specialty care
Dr. Rocha typically refers impacted wisdom teeth to an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, whose advanced surgical training is suited to complex extractions.
Know when to call
Contact us about increasing pain, swelling, a bad taste, limited opening or difficulty chewing. Trouble breathing or swallowing, rapidly spreading swelling or uncontrolled bleeding requires emergency medical care.
Your care. A clear estimate.
Treatment recommendations and fees depend on your examination. We’ll explain your plan, discuss insurance estimates when applicable, and answer questions before you schedule treatment.
