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 recently had a root canal done at Aspen Dental in Vero Beach with Dr. Sinjab and his assistant, Amelia. I hate going to the dentist, and my tooth was in really bad shape. I walked in nervous, stressed and honestly expecting the worst. But from the moment I sat in that chair, Dr. Sinjab and Amelia completely changed the experience for me. They are highly educated and well versed in their field. Both were unbelievably kind, patient and gentle.They checked on me constantly, making sure I was okay, that I wasn’t in pain and that I didn’t have any questions or concerns. They never made me feel silly for being anxious. Instead, they reassured me every step of the way. The way they worked together was so calming and professional, and they made a procedure I was terrified of feel easy and surprisingly comfortable. I’ve never had dental care feel this caring and personal. The office staff was amazing as well. From the front desk greeting to the team members who weren’t even working on my teeth but still took the time to say hi. Everyone was incredibly kind and welcoming. I also met with Victoria, the office manager and she was wonderful. Financing is usually so confusing but she walked me through everything clearly and patiently. I never felt pressured, rushed, overwhelmed or unsure of what I was agreeing to. What I thought would be a horrible day turned out to be perfect. I felt cared for, respected, and genuinely supported from start to finish. If you’re anxious about dental work or usually dread the dentist like I do, Dr. Sinjab and Amelia are the team you want. Truly an amazing experience all around. Thank you :)

Very thorough, very helpful

It was a warm and welcoming dental office, the staff that I was seen by and dealt with my procedures were great. I love my new look, thank you doctor and all your assistance ❤️

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.
