At Ridge Park Dental, we have the ability to extract most wisdom teeth (third molars). The wisdom teeth are the last teeth to erupt in the mouth, and they usually come in during the late teens or early 20s. Because they are the last teeth to come in, there is often not enough room for them to erupt properly. In these cases, your wisdom teeth can lead to several serious complications that may result in significant pain and dental problems. Your third molars may also grow in at an incorrect angle or become impacted (stuck in the gums and jawbone, unable to fully erupt). Our dentists may recommend having your wisdom teeth removed if the wisdom teeth are impacted or if they contribute to:

  • Pain
  • Periodontal (gum) disease
  • Infections
  • Tooth decay
  • Cysts or tumors

Dr. Grant Brough and Dr. Spencer Pugmire may also recommend wisdom teeth removal to help prepare your mouth for any other necessary restorative dental treatment or cosmetic treatment. Our gentle team will ensure that your wisdom teeth removal in Layton and Centerville, Utah, is as painless and comfortable as possible.
