Wisdom Teeth Removal In Utah & Arizona With iSmile Dentistry

Gentle, Professional Care for Long-Term Oral Health

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, typically erupt between the ages of 17 and 25. While not everyone experiences issues, many people need wisdom teeth removal to avoid pain, crowding, or infection. iSmile Dentistry offers safe, efficient wisdom tooth extractions at our Utah and Arizona locations, using modern techniques to keep you comfortable every step of the way.

Why Wisdom Teeth Are Removed

Wisdom teeth often cause problems because the mouth doesn’t have enough space to accommodate them. If left untreated, they can lead to:

  • Impacted teeth (stuck beneath the gums or jawbone)
  • Pain and swelling in the back of the mouth or jaw
  • Damage to surrounding teeth and misalignment
  • Gum infections or cysts
  • Complications with orthodontic treatment

Removing wisdom teeth early, often in the late teens or early twenties, can prevent future oral health issues and reduce recovery time.

  • Eating soft foods and avoiding straws
  • Keeping the mouth clean without disturbing the surgical site
  • Taking pain medication as directed

Wisdom teeth are typically removed between ages 16 and 25, before roots fully develop and the bone becomes denser, this helps reduce recovery time and complications.

It’s best to rest for at least 1–2 days after surgery. Depending on how many teeth are removed and whether sedation was used, you may need a little more time to recover.
