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.

This was my first visit to Aspen Dental, and I had a great experience with Dr. Farid Cumplido. From the moment I arrived, the staff was very kind, welcoming, and professional. The office is modern and has great technology, which made me feel comfortable right away. Dr. Cumplido was extremely friendly and took the time to explain everything clearly. He made me feel confident and at ease because it’s very noticeable that he truly knows what he’s doing. I felt very well taken care of during my first visit, and I’m really happy I chose this office. I would definitely recommend Dr. Farid Cumplido and Aspen Dental.

This by far is an amazing facility with great personnel. I was here last week for a tooth extraction and it went flawless. My first extraction was with Dr. Yare who is phenomenal and funny. Today I came back for a more difficult extraction that was done by Dr. Farid. Let me just say this extraction was difficult and needed him to give it a second look. He got in there - with limited movement but with precision and got the little sucker out. He was very thorough and patient. He was very welcoming and calming during the procedure. By far 100 stars of I could ! Best dental doctors in this office by far

Let me start by saying that this was a great experience. I barely felt anything & I’m going through an implant procedure. Dr. Cumpledo actually talks to his patients & explain every step of the way. The whole visit was unbelievable. I’m looking forward to my next visit.

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.

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.
