Can molar teeth grow when you are in your late twenties?

Yes: Any of your teeth can erupt regardess of your age if they have no antagonist (tooth in opposite arch hitting it). Even wisdom teeth, if that is what you are asking.

Sure: Wisdom teeth can erupt late. Extra or supernumerary teeth are not uncommon. Consult your dentist.

They can sometimes: Molar teeth include third molars or wisdom teeth. Usually these do erupt by age 16 to 20 but late eruption is not uncommon. This especially happens if other teeth are lost and space becomes available where it wasn't before. It is unusual but not unheard of.
