At Espire Dental Thornton, we know that the thought of wisdom teeth removal can feel overwhelming.

Whether you're experiencing discomfort or have been advised to remove your wisdom teeth as a precaution, our expert team is here to help.
Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars that typically appear between the ages of 17 and 25. For some people, these teeth come in without any issues. But for many, wisdom teeth can cause complications, including:
If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, it's a good idea to have your wisdom teeth evaluated. Removing them early can prevent future oral health problems and save you from unnecessary pain down the line.
At Espire Dental Thornton, we aim to make your wisdom teeth removal as comfortable as possible. Here’s a breakdown of the process:
Most patients find that the procedure is easier than expected, and with our skilled team on your side, you’ll be in and out in no time!
Most patients are surprised by how comfortable they feel during and after wisdom teeth removal. With modern anesthetics and sedation options, you’ll likely feel minimal discomfort during the procedure. Post-surgery, we’ll provide pain management tips to keep you comfortable.
Most patients recover within 3-5 days, though this can vary depending on the complexity of the extraction. Swelling and tenderness are common but typically subside within a week. We’ll provide a full recovery plan, including diet tips and care instructions, to ensure your healing is smooth.
Not everyone needs all four wisdom teeth removed. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your X-rays to determine which teeth, if any, need extraction based on their position and impact on your oral health.
For the first few days after surgery, stick to soft foods like yogurt, mashed potatoes, and smoothies. Avoid hard, crunchy, or spicy foods until the extraction sites have healed. Hydration is key, but avoid using straws, as this can disrupt healing.
Many dental insurance plans cover part or all of the cost of wisdom teeth removal, depending on your coverage. We’ll work with your provider to ensure you get the most out of your benefits. Our team is also happy to discuss flexible payment options.
If you’re between the ages of 17 and 25, it’s a good idea to schedule an evaluation sooner rather than later. Early removal often leads to a more effortless procedure and faster recovery. Don’t wait until pain or problems develop—schedule a consultation today!
