Advantages of Wisdom Teeth Removal
Your wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last teeth to develop, usually appearing between the ages of 17 and 25. For many people, there simply isn’t enough room for them to come in comfortably. When that happens, these teeth may grow in at an angle, remain trapped beneath the gums, or crowd the teeth you already have.
At Stubbs Dental, our focus is on helping you stay ahead of these problems. Early wisdom teeth removal in Utah can prevent pain, infection, and shifting teeth, giving you peace of mind about your oral health. By choosing timely wisdom teeth extraction, you’re protecting your smile today and lowering your risk of more serious dental issues in the future.
Wisdom teeth removal may be recommended for:
-
Pain or swelling – Impacted wisdom teeth can cause soreness, headaches, or jaw stiffness.
-
Infection – Partially erupted teeth create pockets where bacteria and food can get trapped.
-
Tooth crowding – Wisdom teeth often push against other teeth, shifting alignment.
-
Cysts or damage – Impacted teeth may affect nearby roots or bone.
-
Preventive care – Even if you aren’t in pain, early removal may prevent problems later.

Your Teeth Wisdom Teeth Removal Questions Answered
Why do wisdom teeth need to be removed?
Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars to come in, usually between ages 17 and 25. Many people don’t have enough room for them, which can cause crowding, pain, or infection. Removing them early helps prevent long-term dental issues.
What happens if I don’t get my wisdom teeth removed?
If wisdom teeth are left untreated, they can push against other teeth, cause painful swelling, or increase the risk of gum infection and tooth decay. In some cases, cysts or damage to nearby teeth and bone can also occur.
At what age should wisdom teeth be removed?
Most dentists recommend having wisdom teeth evaluated in your late teens or early twenties. This is when the teeth usually start to develop, and removal is often easier before the roots are fully formed.
How do I know if my wisdom teeth need to be taken out?
Signs you may need wisdom teeth extraction include pain in the back of your mouth, swollen or bleeding gums, jaw stiffness, or shifting teeth. Even if you don’t have symptoms, X-rays may show that your wisdom teeth are impacted or likely to cause problems.
Is wisdom teeth removal painful?
The procedure itself isn’t painful because local anesthesia or sedation is used to keep you comfortable. Afterward, some soreness or swelling is normal, but most patients manage this easily with rest, ice packs, and over-the-counter pain relief.
How long is the recovery after wisdom teeth removal?
Recovery times vary, but most people start feeling better within 3 to 5 days. Swelling typically goes down after the first few days, and you’ll receive clear instructions to help with healing, such as sticking to soft foods and avoiding strenuous activity.
How much does wisdom teeth removal cost in Utah?
Costs depend on how many teeth need to be removed and whether surgery is required. Most insurance plans cover part of the procedure. At Stubbs Dental, we’ll review your benefits and provide an upfront estimate so you know exactly what to expect.
Can all four wisdom teeth be removed at once?
Yes, many patients choose to have all four wisdom teeth taken out during the same appointment. This often makes recovery easier since you only go through the healing process once.
Where can I find wisdom teeth removal near me?
If you’re searching for wisdom teeth removal near me in Utah, Stubbs Dental offers safe, gentle extractions with a focus on patient comfort. Our team will guide you through every step, from evaluation to recovery, so you feel confident in your care.
3 Reasons We Recommend
Greater Stability
Traditional removable dentures are held in place by natural suction or with the help of denture adhesive, but they can still slip and fall out. Because All-on-X implants are anchored in the jawbone, the dentures they support are never at risk of moving around. While traditional dentures must be removed each night to let the gums rest, All-on-X dentures stay securely in your mouth at all times. You'll never have to be without your smile again.
Better Oral Health
Unlike removable dentures, All-on-X implants and dentures replace teeth from root to crown. This is crucial for your oral health, as your tooth roots provide stimulation to keep your jaw healthy and strong. Without that stimulation, the jawbone will inevitably atrophy, which can lead to issues including an aged appearance, dental shifting, and further tooth loss. Implants are the only treatment that can prevent this atrophy.
Long Term Solution
In most cases, removable dentures should be replaced every five to seven years. Our All-on-X dental implant dentures, however, are made of zirconia, the strongest material on the market, and can last a lifetime with proper care and regular dental checkups.
It will change your life!
"I wish I hadn't waited over a year to make a decision. Don't wait, don't hesitate. It will change your life. I can smile again, I feel pretty again."

Why All-on-X Dental Implants?
Full Arch Replacement
Completely restore your upper, lower, or both arches of teeth with the transformative All-on-X dental implant procedure, renewing your smile, functionality, and confidence.
Cost Effective
One of the biggest advantages of the All-on-X dental implant method is its cost-effectiveness compared to traditional implants for a full arch. This approach requires fewer implants to secure a permanent denture and often eliminates the need for preliminary procedures like bone grafting, saving you time and money.

Are You Ready to
Zygomatic Implants
Zygomatic implants are a special type of dental implant that anchors into the cheekbone instead of the jawbone. They’re designed for patients who don’t have enough bone in their upper jaw for traditional implants, often due to bone loss after missing teeth for many years. This advanced option creates a strong, stable foundation for a full set of upper teeth.
Here’s how they work and why they matter:
- Anchored in the cheekbone: Unlike traditional implants placed in the jawbone, zygomatic implants are secured in the cheekbones, which stay strong even after tooth loss.
- No bone grafting required: This approach avoids the need for complex bone grafting procedures, even in cases of major jawbone recession.
- Safe and stable foundation: The cheekbone provides strong, lasting support for your new teeth, helping restore both function and confidence.
- Comfort-first care: The procedure is done under full anesthesia, so you can rest easy while our team handles everything with care.
- A second chance at a real smile: Zygomatic implants are changing lives for patients who were once told they had no options left.
At Stubbs Dental, we believe no one should be turned away from a confident smile. We’re here to explore every possibility with you.
