About Wasatch Oral Surgery
Wisdom teeth tend to get scheduled around a calendar rather than a symptom: spring break, the week after finals, the gap before a mission or a move. Families in South Jordan and Daybreak book them that way on purpose, and a surgical office that understands the pattern holds early-morning slots so a teenager can be home on the couch by lunchtime. Wasatch Oral Surgery has been fielding those calls from this side of the valley for a long time.
Dr. Kyle S. Christensen is a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon who earned his dental degree and completed his surgical residency at the University of Washington, after an undergraduate degree at the University of Utah and an externship in San Antonio, and he has practiced in the Salt Lake area for more than twenty-five years. The office is at 1268 West South Jordan Parkway, on the 10600 South corridor between Redwood Road and the Jordan River, an easy approach from Riverton, Herriman, Daybreak and West Jordan and a genuinely inconvenient one from the east bench. Doors open at 7:00 a.m. Monday through Friday, closing at 4:00 p.m. earlier in the week and 3:00 p.m. on Friday. CareCredit financing is available for treatment that outruns your insurance.
Surgical scope runs well beyond third molars: implant placement, extraction of teeth that have broken down past restoration, and evaluation of temporomandibular joint pain. TMJ is worth being honest about, because a large share of jaw-joint pain responds to conservative care such as a splint, muscle rest and habit change, and surgery is the exception rather than the starting point. A consultation should tell you which category you fall into.
If you are coming for implants, expect a staged timeline. Imaging first, then placement, then several months while bone locks onto the fixture before your restoring dentist makes the crown. Where a tooth has been missing long enough for the ridge to shrink, grafting is added at the front of that sequence. It is slower than most people hope, and the cost depends heavily on how much of that rebuilding your case needs, which is why a real number waits for the scan.
Dr. Kyle S. Christensen, a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon trained at the University of Washington with more than twenty-five years in the Salt Lake valley, handles wisdom teeth, surgical extractions, implants and TMJ evaluation from 1268 West South Jordan Parkway. Weekday openings at 7 a.m. suit families scheduling a teenager's extraction around school, and CareCredit financing is available.

I was very happy to find that Dr. Christensen was still practicing. He installed .my original set of dentures which included,2 posts in the lower jaw. The posts held tight until 2weeks ago ! That's over ,,23 years. He is very kind and does excellent work. His staff is very efficient. Glad to see him again.
Great experience for our son getting his wisdom teeth removed. He was nervous going in but Dr. Christensen and his staff were so kind and took great care of him. Thank you, Wasatch Oral Surgery.
My mother is 95 and had to have her front tooth extracted and an implant post placed in the same afternoon. Dr Christensen did a fabulous job managing her pain, with the extraction and the implant. He was also very kind to her. She is healing wonderfully. The office staff and assistants were also great to work with. Great experience.
Great experience. Kind and helpful staff and the surgeon did a very good job before, during, and after wisdom tooth surgery.
Dr. Christensen’s office took excellent care of my son for his wisdom teeth removal. They were great to work with from scheduling the appointment to providing thorough recovery instructions. I would highly recommend Dr. Christensen and his staff!
I have had 3 of my children to Wasatch Oral surgery for wisdom teeth removal. We have always had a great experience from the first point of contact with scheduling all the way through to recovery. Dr. Christensen is wonderful and clearly explains what he will be doing along with what to expect. The nursing and recovery staff were wonderful with every one of my kids. I highly recommend!
Office staff treated us both professionally and personably. Very good communication and followup. My daughter is healing very well from her wisdom teeth removal, she also had an extra tooth that was extracted. I was impressed with how quickly everything was completed, we were in and out in just over an hour. The office seems genuinely concerned and attentive to each individual.
Dr. Kyle Christensen and his office and surgical staff were absolutely wonderful! They were all very calm and helpful (as I am high anxiety when it comes to dental matters. I’m a big baby! ;-). They extracted a molar and put in an implant post, and when I woke up I did not feel any need for pain medication at all. I did not even take an Advil! Nothing! I healed very quickly and I am grateful for their excellent work. Highly recommend!
Absolutely amazing! Thank you, Dr. Christensen, for taking care of my beautiful daughter. You truly helped calm my mama nerves knowing my sweet daughter was in your care. We appreciate you! Our daughter's healing is going amazingly! Thank you to you and your staff! Shout out to your sweet nurse as well, with short brown hair! She was so sweet and really made us feel welcome! We will see you all for our next child's wisdom teeth removal!
