Wisdom Teeth Removal in El Paso
Safe, Gentle Wisdom Teeth Removal for Teens and Adults
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last set of teeth to develop, typically appearing between the ages of 17 and 25. For many people, these teeth can cause pain, crowding, or other dental problems if there isn’t enough room for them to grow properly. At Lee Trevino Dental, we provide safe and comfortable wisdom teeth removal to protect your oral health and prevent future complications.
Led by Dr. Wes Bransford, DDS, caring for every member of your family, our team takes a gentle, patient-focused approach to every extraction, ensuring your comfort from start to finish. Call (915) 593-8815 today to learn more.
The Wisdom Teeth Removal Process
At Lee Trevino Dental, your comfort is our top priority. We take every step to ensure your experience is smooth and stress-free.
Comprehensive Evaluation
Dr. Bransford begins with a detailed exam and digital X-rays to determine the position of your wisdom teeth and whether removal is necessary.
Personalized Treatment Plan
We discuss your options, explain the procedure, and answer all your questions so you know exactly what to expect.
Comfortable Extraction
During the procedure, we use local anesthesia and sedation options as needed to keep you relaxed and pain-free. The wisdom teeth are then gently removed, and the area is carefully cleaned.
Recovery and Aftercare
We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions to promote quick healing and minimize discomfort. Most patients recover within a few days.
Why Wisdom Teeth Are Often Removed
While some people have enough space in their mouths for wisdom teeth to grow in naturally, most do not. When these molars become trapped under the gums or grow in at an angle, they can cause a range of dental issues.
Common reasons for wisdom teeth removal include:
- Impaction
- Overcrowding
- Infection or Gum Disease
- Tooth Decay
- Jaw Pain or Pressure
Removing problematic wisdom teeth early can prevent pain, protect your smile, and reduce the risk of future dental problems.
Recovery and Aftercare Tips
After your extraction, you’ll need to rest for the first 24–48 hours and follow a few simple care steps:
- Keep gauze in place to control bleeding.
- Use an ice pack to reduce swelling.
- Eat soft foods like yogurt, soup, and mashed potatoes.
- Avoid using straws or smoking, as suction can dislodge the healing clot.
- Take prescribed medications as directed.
Most patients feel back to normal within three to five days, and complete healing typically occurs within two weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who needs to have their wisdom teeth removed?
Most people will need at least one wisdom tooth removed if it’s impacted, causes crowding, or leads to infection or discomfort.
What age is best for wisdom teeth removal?
The ideal age is typically between 17 and 25, when the teeth and roots are not yet fully developed, making removal and recovery easier.
When can I return to normal activities after surgery?
Most patients can resume school or work within two to three days, depending on how they feel and the complexity of their procedure.
Why do I need my wisdom teeth removed if they don’t hurt?
Even if your wisdom teeth aren’t painful, they can still cause problems below the surface, such as crowding or impaction. Preventive removal can help avoid future complications.
How can I prepare for my extraction appointment?
Avoid eating or drinking before your appointment if sedation will be used, and arrange for a friend or family member to drive you home after the procedure.
