Is wisdom tooth extraction always necessary?

Not always. If your wisdom teeth are healthy, fully erupted and not causing problems, you may not need removal. But if they’re crowding your smile, causing pain or leading to infection, extraction may be the best choice. Your Aspen Dental care team will review X-rays and help you decide. You can also read more about why wisdom teeth are removed and what to expect.

Is wisdom tooth removal painful?

During the procedure, local anesthesia numbs the area so you can be as comfortable as possible. Some soreness afterward is normal, but your Aspen Dental care team will create a pain management plan to help you heal comfortably.

Can all wisdom teeth be removed at once?

Yes. Many patients choose to have all four removed together, which can make recovery more efficient. Your care team will discuss whether this is right for you.

How can I reduce swelling and discomfort after wisdom tooth extraction?

Apply ice packs during the first 24 hours, rest with your head elevated and follow any medication instructions given by your care team at Aspen Dental. These steps help minimize swelling and speed healing.

What should I avoid eating after wisdom tooth extraction?

Avoid crunchy, hard or very hot foods. Start with soft foods like yogurt, smoothies, mashed potatoes or soups. As you heal, you can gradually return to your normal diet.

I had the pleasure of being seen by Sarah, and I can honestly say she is an exceptional hygienist. From the moment I arrived, her warmth and genuine care were immediately evident. She took the time to listen, understand my concerns, and ensure I was comfortable throughout the entire appointment. What really stood out was her attention to detail and the heartfelt approach she brings to her work. Sarah clearly takes pride in delivering the highest level of care and makes each patient feel valued and respected. She was thorough, professional, and patient, explaining every step and answering all of my questions with clarity and kindness. It’s rare to encounter someone so dedicated to not just the procedure, but also the overall experience of their patients. I left feeling confident in the care I received and truly appreciated how much effort she put into making the appointment a positive experience. Sarah is a gem, and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking top-notch dental hygiene care.

What are wisdom tooth extractions?

Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars to erupt, usually in the late teens or early twenties. Not all wisdom teeth require removal—but when they cause pain, crowding or infection, tooth extraction is often the most effective solution. If the tooth is fully visible, it can usually be removed with forceps under local anesthesia. For teeth that are impacted or partially emerged, a minor surgical procedure may be needed. Your Aspen Dental care team will walk you through which option is best for you and explain how we minimize discomfort.

Reasons to get a wisdom tooth extraction

You may need removal if you experience:

Types of wisdom tooth extractions

Non surgical wisdom tooth extractions

When a wisdom tooth has fully erupted, removal is straightforward. Under local anesthesia, your Aspen Dental dentist gently loosens and extracts the tooth with forceps.

Surgical wisdom tooth extractions

When a wisdom tooth is impacted or angled incorrectly, a surgical approach may be needed. Your Aspen Dental dentist makes a small opening in the gum to remove the tooth, sometimes placing sutures to aid healing.
