Expert Wisdom Teeth Removal From Almeida & Bell Dental

Few dental milestones are as universally dreaded—or as misunderstood—as the arrival of wisdom teeth. For many teens and young adults in Denver and Lone Tree, these third molars signify a rite of passage that often ends in extraction. But getting your wisdom teeth removed doesn’t have to be a scary experience.

At Almeida & Bell Dental, Dr. Adam Almeida and Dr. Paul Bell specialize in making this common procedure as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Whether you are noticing pain in the back of your mouth or just want a proactive checkup, understanding what is happening with your dental health is the first step toward relief.

Signs You Might Need Your Wisdom Teeth Removed

Wisdom teeth typically emerge between the ages of 17 and 25. Because they are the last to arrive, there often isn’t enough room in the jaw to accommodate them. This can lead to a host of uncomfortable symptoms.

You should schedule a consultation at our Denver or Lone Tree office if you notice:

Persistent Pain: A dull ache or sharp pain in the back of your jaw is the most obvious sign.
Swelling and Redness: Inflammation in the gums around the back teeth often indicates infection or impaction.
Difficulty Opening Your Mouth: Stiffness or pain when eating or speaking can signal that the teeth are putting pressure on your jaw.
Bad Breath: An unpleasant taste or odor can result from bacteria trapped in the gum flaps covering partially erupted teeth.

Why Do Wisdom Teeth Need to Be Extracted?

Not everyone needs their wisdom teeth removed, but extraction is often necessary to protect your long-term oral health. When wisdom teeth are “impacted,” meaning they are trapped beneath the gum line or growing at an odd angle, they can cause serious issues.

Crowding: As these large molars push their way in, they can shove your existing teeth out of alignment, ruining years of orthodontic work.
Infection and Decay: Partially erupted teeth create hard-to-clean pockets where food and bacteria accumulate, leading to cavities or gum disease (pericoronitis).
Damage to Adjacent Teeth: The pressure from a sideways-growing wisdom tooth can damage the roots of the neighboring second molar.

By removing these problematic teeth early, Dr. Almeida and Dr. Paul Bell help you avoid more complex and painful dental problems down the road.

Relax with Dental Sedation

We understand that the idea of oral surgery causes anxiety for many patients. That is why Almeida & Bell Dental prioritizes your comfort through advanced dental sedation options.

Sedation dentistry allows you to drift through your appointment in a state of deep relaxation. You won’t feel pain, and you likely won’t even remember the procedure once it’s over. It transforms what could be a nerve-wracking appointment into a peaceful experience. Our team will review your medical history and discuss the best sedation level for your specific needs, ensuring you feel safe and calm from start to finish.
