Wisdom Teeth Extraction in St George, UT
Wisdom teeth can cause crowding, pain, and infection if left untreated. We remove them safely and comfortably—often in a single visit—so you can protect your smile.
What Are Wisdom Teeth Extractions?
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, usually emerge in your late teens or early twenties. Sometimes they grow in properly—but often they become impacted, crowding other teeth or causing painful infections.
Wisdom teeth extractions remove these molars safely, often before they create bigger problems. We evaluate the position of your wisdom teeth with digital imaging and recommend the right timing for removal.

Signs You Might Need Wisdom Teeth Removed
Wisdom teeth may need removal if you experience:
- Jaw pain or swelling at the back of your mouth
- Recurrent infections or gum inflammation behind your molars

- Difficulty opening your mouth fully
- Shifting or crowding of your front teeth
- Visible partial eruption (wisdom tooth poking through gums)
The sooner you address impacted wisdom teeth, the smoother the recovery.
Common Questions About Wisdom Teeth Removal
Do all wisdom teeth need to be removed?
Not always! If they’re fully erupted and healthy, they can often stay. We’ll evaluate your case with X-rays.
Is recovery painful?
Most patients experience some swelling and mild discomfort for a few days. We’ll send you home with easy aftercare tips and medication if needed.
Can I be sedated for wisdom teeth removal?
Absolutely. We offer nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation options for a stress-free experience. If you would like to be put to sleep and have those viral videos of the weird things you say upon waking up, we will send you to one of our oral surgeon partners.
How soon can I eat after surgery?
You’ll stick to soft foods (like yogurt, smoothies, and soup) for the first few days.
At what age should wisdom teeth be removed?
Generally between ages 16–25 for the easiest healing, but it’s never too late if they’re causing problems!
