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.

10/10 recommend this location. All the ladies are so friendly and caring about my oral health. I will definitely be returning.

Absolutely love this dentist office. The staff is amazing—so friendly, welcoming, and genuinely caring. They make every visit comfortable from start to finish. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great dental experience.

Just wow. I wish I could give them more stars. My entire life I’ve hated dentist’s, I’m already anxious because I’m there and then I usually feel rushed or looked down on because I did neglect my dental health for so long, it’s not the nicest set of chompers there ever was. But today at the Spring Hill location everything I’ve ever known about dentist offices was thrown out the window. I have never had a more pleasant visit than I did today. These ladies made me feel so welcome and answered every question I had with a smile and pure kindness. Yall my insurance don’t cover me there but they were running a free promotion. They KNEW I was only there for the free thing and they KNEW my insurance wouldn’t allow me to make them my primary dentist. And they STILL treated me with nothing but kindness, respect and open arms. 10/10 highly recommend. The first face I saw was Lindsey. She was kind and we joked about the toothbrush tree and she let me pick one off the tree. The next face I met was Monica. She was so sweet! Also, apologetic for the weird ways we needed to sit the xray thing (it was NOT comfortable at times) and she was literally running after taking the image back to my room to get that thing out of my mouth asap. Like girl thank you for that fr lmao. The next two people I met are always the ones I’m most afraid of , the hygienist and the Dr. But nope, not this time. Dr Edward’s was warm and nice. She was to the point but in a kind and caring way not an angry or pushy way. Faith was very informative. She answered a lot of questions for me and shared so much helpful information with me. And never once did she try to shut me down or make me feel like I was pestering her. My final meeting was with Tamara. She was able to get me copies of all my X-rays and what I needed done. She also got me some information I was looking for about one of their services. Just all the way around this was such a wonderful experience for me. (Which is wildly opposite of all my previous experience with dentistry) I WISH I could make these ladies my primary dental office. If you can you better hurry your butt on over there. This was an exceptional group of women and I’m so glad I was able to have the experience I did today and 100% thanks to THEM!! You ladies are the bomb.com!

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.
