Absolutely incredible place. My husband had 2 of his teeth removed here and I have had 7. The care is above and beyond... and I couldn’t recommend this place enough. The after care instructions are clear and they have after hours help. If you need any teeth removed I would go here. I am terrified of the dentist and have been for a while. They make me feel comfortable and take the time to answer any questions I have.read more

Our son-in-law had his wisdom teeth removed a little over a year ago. He had just injured his back and neck with a... football injury, but he was also in extreme pain with his wisdom teeth. They took such good care of him. So when our youngest daughter needed her wisdom teeth out, we knew that we would take her to Dr. Wisdom Teeth. Their office staff, from setting up the procedure to checking us on the day of her teeth removal, have been professional and kind. We highly recommend Dr. Wisdom Teeth.read more

Two children have gone here and both times have done an incredible job! They have a system down where it’s quick, clean... and provide an excellent service. It will cost you half what your DDS will charge you and that includes X-rays the day of their surgery. Will take all my children here from now on!read more

Best experience from start to finish. This office provides quality services and friendly staff. It was quick and my... daughter didn’t swell or have any pain. I definitely will recommend everyone to come here for wisdom teeth removal. Also knowing how great and caring Dr Hendrickson is personally helps trust him to take care of your kids needs.read more

this place is AWESOME!! I had my wisdom teeth removed at a different place and almost 3 weeks later I was still having... a lot of pain and swelling around one of the teeth. I called Wisdom Teeth Only & they told me to come in the next day as early as I wanted. The entire appointment took maybe 10 minutes and was completely free of charge, and for the first time in three weeks I can actually open my mouth to eat. 1000/10 :))read more

I love this place! I was scared of getting my wisdom teeth out but they made the process run very smoothly and there... was great service!!. I even made the appointment the day before my surgery which was amazing because most places you must book months in advance. Would definitely reccomend this place to anyone looking to get their wisdom teeth removed!read more

My daughter had her wisdom teeth out here and had a really good experience. They made her feel comfortable and it was... finished VERY quickly. They gave us useful information before and they sent her home with everything she needed after surgery. Her recovery went well and the doctor called the next day to check on her. I recommend this business.read more

This is my second child to take to Wisdom Teeth Only! I love have quick and efficient they are, yet you don’t feel... like the next one in line. I felt cared for, Dr. Spent time with us and then followed up with a phone call that evening to see how things were going!It’s the best place that I have used for my children. They recover quickly and are back in their feet by the 3rd day!!read more

I have six children. Two of them went to an oral surgeon and had a horrific experience with their wisdom teeth. I... wasn't giving clear directions and both got dry socket. My next four children have gone here and I have never had a problem. The first two children took weeks to heal and the four children that have gone here have taken a couple days to heal. I love the kind staff and his easy going nature. I love that I'm in and out so quickly.read more

All five of my kids have been to Wisdom Teeth Only for various oral surgeries. We love the staff and service. My... youngest child's surgery took only 20 minutes, and he had minimal swelling. Trust your teeth to Wisdom Teeth Only.read more

My wife went there a few years ago since it is so cheap compared to our local prices in Oregon. I wasn’t looking... forward to this. But, I was nervous only because I don’t particularly like people poking and prodding around in my mouth since I’ve had a previous bad experience when I was younger. So the experience went like this: walk in and sign in, they take an x ray and sit you down to talk about the process and answer all questions and concerns. I sat down in the chair, got hooked up to all their machines, got an IV, talked very briefly to the person heading the operation and BOOM… lights out. The very next thing I remember was being wheeled out the car. I didn’t feel anything at all. I thought it was all fluff to try and calm me down. No it wasn’t and It’s only been three days and I’ve healed up VERY nicely. I’m not sure who I talked to in the chair for the surgery, but you certainly have found your calling in life. As crazy as it sounds… I have no problems at all going through the experience again.read more

Just got out my surgery at the Provo location yesterday, it went very quick and safe! I’ve been recovering pretty good... so far. The staff are so kind and helpful, they are true professionals at what they do. I recommend doing your paperwork and even paying before your appointment, it’ll make the process even more faster! Thank you to Wisdom Teeth Only, definitely recommend, the service is so well done for such a good price!read more

Wow. Excellent service and care! The after surgery instructions were fantastic. They did an excellent job and my... daughter had no swelling, and very low pain. They sent tools to get the food out of the holes left behind, a backup solution if she developed dry sockets too. Believe them when they say that the surgery will go fast! It was so fast! You don't have time to run an errand! They also sent ice packs that were just right for each cheek and temporary ones for our drive home that could be activated when the others got warm. Everything was excellent. Excellent medicine schedule. Don't go anywhere else!read more

I have had 3 of my kids come to Wisdom teeth only. We have had a great experience and all of them healed beautifully. I... have been very happy with this place. They are quick and everything seems go to smoothly. I would definitely recommend these guys. In fact I’ll be taking my last child here when it is time for him to get his wisdom teeth removed. I also want to give a shout out to the office staff they are very friendly and helpful!read more

I am very grateful to Dr. Wisdom Teeth. Nurse Ashley and Anesthetist Mike were amazing. My son has an extreme phobia... of needles from having had cancer as a kid, so he was terrified to get the IV started. The staff was so understanding and empathetic, never shaming him or telling him to "man up" or something of that nature. (They used freezing spray, which was great.) Also, I asked if they could help us with a blood draw order from another doctor while my son was under, and they did! It really felt like they were part of my son's team and they would do anything to help him with his medical issues, even issues that had nothing to do with his teeth. They did a great job and I can't thank them enough. Even the lady behind the front desk was so understanding and caring, she came out into the lobby to give me a hug once they got my son sedated. Wonderful people --and the very best price--I called around before we selected this office! Thank you to everyone there.read more

My son just had his Wisdom teeth out on Tuesday and he is a type 1 diabetic and I was a little concerned with the... procedure and how he would respond to it all. They had a plan in place and knew what to expect. The extractions went well, he is now recovering beautifully. The doctor even called and ask how he was doing. Very friendly staff, easy to work with, and extremely professional! Thank you!read more

I got my wisdom teeth out about a month ago, and I wanted to wait until my mouth was completely healed before writing a... review. But the experience I had was such a positive one. The doctors made me feel very comfortable and relieved me of stress before I went into the surgery. They had clear instructions of what to do after the surgery and how to take care of yourself, and I never had any questions, but if I had had any problems, I would have easily been able to call the office. I had no problems and my recovery was great! It was such a good experience!read more

I got my wisdom teeth removed about two years ago from Wisdom Teeth Only (in Provo), and my experience was amazing! The... receptionist was very nice and the paperwork was simple to fill out. They made me feel very confident and comfortable while I was there, and were nice to me when I woke up as well. I had a simple recovery, and after a few days, I was able to eat solid foods again. Truly a great experience!read more

My son had his wisdom teeth removed at Wisdom Teeth Only just a few days ago. Every person we talked to there was very... friendly and helpful. And the whole process was quick and efficient. It only took about 30 minutes, including recovery time, before we were heading home. The post-op instructions given were very clear, and my son has had little pain or swelling since then and no bruising. If you have to have your wisdom teeth removed, this is the best experience you could hope for.read more

The staff was very kind and they took great care of me! After I had woken up they made sure I was alright before taking... me outside to go home. They had checked up on me on the same day to see how I was doing and making sure I had the pain and bleeding under control. Would definitely recommend coming here, they will make sure you are treated well and are comfortable!!read more

I wanted to wait a while before giving my review to make sure there were no complications or anything, so it has been a... couple of months since I got my wisdom teeth out. I have to say, this is the absolute best wisdom teeth removal that you can go to!!! As soon as we got there, they were sweet and reassuring, especially since it is stressful thinking about removing your wisdom teeth. They really make sure you are doing good before being put under. They give super good instructions after to make sure nothing goes wrong after. I did end up getting dry sockets and they had me come back in for free and gave me the gauze to help as well as threw in a free steroid shot to promote healing. The nurse helping me with my dry sockets was also so sweet and it felt like she truly cared about my well-being. She made sure that I was eating, since it's hard to eat for a little while after and gave be a protein shake right there to make sure I had some food in me. It made me feel so cared about which is exactly what you want from the people taking your teeth out. 100% recommend this place!read more

Great experience! I had my teeth out in less than half an hour. Understandably, I was in some pain for about a week... after, but it was more than manageable especially considering the extremely detailed instructions they gave for post-op care. The staff is very knowledgeable and delightedly friendly. They did a good job of setting up correct expectations so that my experience was comfortable and pleasant. Thank you!read more

My son and I got our wisdom teeth taken out. The staff was so sweet and kind as well as helpful. My son doesn't like... doctors, but this one is probably now one of, if not his only favorite. He loved all the staff and said they were so friendly. That was the most comfortable he's ever been in a doctors office. If the staff are reading this he says thank you to all you lovely people.read more

Took care of both me and my (extremely dramatic) triplet sisters all on the same day. it was all a super fast and easy... process. Going under was quite the amusing time too because in one second I was having a pleasant conversation with the nurses and doctors and in the next I was being wheeled out to my family. All the staff was kind and helpful, and all around made it a great experience.read more

I was extremely nervous and getting all my wisdom teeth out and as a person who is diagnosed with anxiety, every single... staff member there said the right things to help me feel at ease and my nervousness was gone. As crazy as it sounds I would do it all over again because it was such a breeze! I’m still recovering, but I am not feeling bad at all. I just want to thank the staff for being so amazingly nice and understanding with everything. They were all such kind, beautiful, and genuine souls! I live about 30 minutes away from this clinic and it was worth the drive and everything. I made several calls back and forth here and they were very informative and answered every question. This clinic definitely cares and the atmosphere was so comfortable it felt cozy and as if you were home. They will take care of you here and if anyone asks me where to go for wisdom teeth removal I gladly will tell they have to go here! They even let me keep my wisdom teeth which I was so happy about! Again thank you all for such a great experience.read more

The staff was so friendly and informative! It was so much better than my own wisdom tooth removal experience. They... followed up with us with in hours of leaving. They even made sure to give us dry socket medicine since we live out of state, just in case. Way to be on top of everything that could happen! They fit us in the schedule as soon as we got there. We were an hour early since we were going back to Colorado where we live. They didn't make us feel weird about it, they just fit us in when they could. I really appreciated it! I recommend them to everyone and anyone needing their wisdom teeth removed!read more

Our son Andrew had a mission prep checkup and it was identified that he had 4 impacted wisdom teeth that needed... immediate attention. Our regular dental group could not accommodate for 3-4 months. We checked out Wisdom Teeth Only and they had us in for consult/removal the next week!! Not only were they able to accommodate us quickly, but they had an issue at the Midvale site and quickly rescheduled us in Provo without missing a beat. Amazing!The best part though is the care our son received. We figured we would get what we paid for, which was about 1/2 what we expected to pay with our regular group. To our astonishment, the care was incredible and everyone treated us so nicely. We recommend Wisdom Teeth Only to anyone having this type of treatment. Our son has healed up nicely with no surprises or issues. We followed their instructions and things went as smoothly as could be expected. Thank you Wisdom Teeth Only!read more

He runs a nice office, provides nice service at a nice price. A routine visit with insurance can still cost you over a... $150. Since he does not except most insurances, I would recommend using a different dentist for your child. I was initially recommended by a friend to go to him, but even she found out that having two insurance providers was not enough to cover most routine visits with Dr. Gifford. So if you like surprise expenses with your Dentist then by all means go to him.read more
