When it comes to your wisdom teeth, it's not uncommon for them to cause problems as they grow.

Whether you're a teen or an adult, our skilled team is here to guide you through the process with the utmost care.

What Are Wisdom Teeth and Why Are They Removed?

Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars that typically emerge in your late teens or early twenties. For some people, wisdom teeth grow in without any problems, but for many others, these teeth can cause complications, such as:

  1. Impaction: Wisdom teeth may not have enough room to fully emerge, causing them to become trapped or "impacted" in the jawbone.
  2. Crowding: Emerging wisdom teeth can push other teeth out of alignment, leading to overcrowding and shifting of your smile.
  3. Infection or Decay: Because they are located in the back of the mouth, wisdom teeth can be difficult to clean properly, increasing the risk of cavities, gum disease, or infection.
  4. Pain and Discomfort: Impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth can cause significant pain, swelling, and discomfort.

By removing problematic wisdom teeth, we can prevent these issues from escalating and help you maintain a healthy smile. At Espire Dental Highlands Ranch, we offer a caring, precise approach to wisdom teeth removal, ensuring a smooth experience from start to finish.

How do I know if I need my wisdom teeth removed?

Not everyone needs to have their wisdom teeth removed, but extraction may be necessary if you’re experiencing pain or swelling or if your X-rays show that the teeth are impacted or misaligned. Our team at Espire Dental Highlands Ranch will guide you through the best option.

Will the procedure hurt?

With modern sedation options and local anesthesia, you won’t feel any pain during the procedure. You may experience some discomfort and swelling afterward, but we’ll provide aftercare instructions to keep you comfortable during recovery.

How long is the recovery process?

Most patients recover from wisdom teeth removal in 3-5 days, with full healing taking about two weeks. During this time, you can gradually return to your normal routine, focusing on eating soft foods and avoiding vigorous activity.

Can I be put to sleep during the procedure?

Yes! We offer various sedation options, including IV sedation, which allows you to sleep through the procedure. During your consultation at our Highlands Ranch location, we'll discuss your best choice.

How much does wisdom teeth removal cost?

The cost of wisdom teeth removal can vary depending on the complexity of the extraction and your specific needs. We’ll provide a detailed cost breakdown during your consultation and offer flexible payment options to make the procedure affordable.

What are the risks of not removing impacted wisdom teeth?

Untreated, impacted wisdom teeth can lead to infection, pain, crowding of other teeth, and even damage surrounding teeth and bone. It’s best to remove them before these complications arise.
