If you or your teen needs wisdom teeth removal, our friendly Balch Springs dentist team is here to help. At Inspire Dental & Orthodontics, we provide gentle, efficient wisdom teeth extraction with a focus on safety, comfort, and fast recovery—so you can get back to school, work, and life with confidence.
Third molars (wisdom teeth) often erupt between ages 15–25. For many patients, the jaw doesn’t have enough room, leading to impaction, crowding, or infections. Removing problematic or high-risk wisdom teeth can prevent pain, swelling, damage to nearby teeth, cysts, and gum disease. The American Dental Association explains that impacted wisdom teeth may harm oral health even if you’re not feeling symptoms yet.
Not sure whether removal is needed? Visit our Balch Springs dentist for a thorough exam and panoramic x-rays. Early evaluation helps us plan for the least complicated, most comfortable treatment.
Comfort matters. Depending on your needs and complexity, we offer local anesthesia, nitrous oxide, and other appropriate sedation options. We’ll explain benefits, risks, and recovery with each choice so you can feel confident on procedure day. For general guidance on anesthesia safety, see the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.
Expect mild bleeding, swelling, and soreness. Bite gently on gauze as directed, keep your head elevated, and avoid vigorous rinsing or spitting. Use ice packs in 15-minute intervals.
Swelling typically peaks then begins to improve. Switch from ice to warm compresses as directed. Stick to soft foods (yogurt, eggs, smoothies, soups) and plenty of water.
Discomfort lessens. Begin gentle saltwater rinses after meals. Avoid straws, smoking, carbonated beverages, or hard/crunchy foods to reduce risk of dry socket.
Most patients resume normal routines within a few days; complete healing under the gums continues for several weeks. We’ll schedule a check if sutures need removal or if you have questions.
Do not use straws for at least 5–7 days. Don’t smoke or vape. Keep the area clean with gentle rinses and follow our medication instructions closely. If pain increases after initially improving, call us right away.
Wondering about wisdom teeth extraction cost? Pricing depends on how many teeth are removed, whether they’re impacted, and your choice of anesthesia. We accept Medicaid and most PPO plans and offer flexible payment options. Our team will provide a transparent estimate before treatment and help you maximize benefits.

No. If wisdom teeth are healthy, fully erupted, easy to clean, and not affecting your bite, we may simply monitor them. Impacted or high-risk teeth are often recommended for removal.
During the procedure, you’ll be numb and may choose sedation for added comfort. Afterward, you may feel soreness and swelling for a few days, which is usually manageable with medication and home care.
Most patients resume school or work in 2–3 days. Full tissue healing takes several weeks. We’ll provide detailed instructions to help you heal quickly and comfortably.
Start with soft, cool foods and progress as comfort allows. Avoid hot, spicy, crunchy foods and straws for several days to protect the healing site.
Potential issues include infection, gum disease, cysts, damage to nearby teeth, and crowding. The ADA and AAOMS offer helpful overviews.
