Eric Wood DDS
Meet Dr. Eric Wood
Originally from Salt Lake City, Utah, Dr. Wood knew that oral surgery would be the perfect fit for him because he has a passion for working with his hands and loves being able to implement his years of experience in both dentistry and medicine. He was drawn to Utah Surgical Arts because he felt that the overall culture of this practice was something special and knew he could add to the team’s exceptional standards of care and treatment.
Utah Surgical Arts has a contagious culture full of people who enjoy coming to work every day. I knew that this practice was something special.
Knowing that he can help people restore their confidence, comfort them throughout treatment, and improve people’s lives, Dr. Wood is happy to be able to come to work each day. He has the utmost confidence in his training and looks forward to the opportunity to establish a connection with all of his patients. Dr. Wood is highly skilled and experienced in treating facial trauma, dental implants, anesthesia and sedation techniques, and bone grafting and proudly offers the full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery to patients of all ages.
Education and Residency
Dr. Wood studied economics at the University of Utah and interrupted his studies to participate in a church mission in Ukraine from 2005 to 2007. When he returned, he finished his undergrad in 2011 and earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree from the Virginia Commonwealth School of Dentistry in 2015. He completed his residency at the University of Arizona College of Medicine in Phoenix, where he worked alongside highly talented specialists. Taking other people’s care into his hands is something that he takes seriously, and he feels honored to be able to communicate with his patients and provide them the best possible care.

Outside of the office, he enjoys mountain biking, skiing, golfing, and spending time with his family.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don’t look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn’t anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text.
