- Dental ExaminationAll patients should have their wisdom teeth evaluated during their mid or late teen years. We will do a full oral exam and take a specialized panoramic or 3D X-ray, to learn the position of the wisdom teeth and if there are any problems. Early evaluation and treatment of difficult wisdom teeth can dramatically improve treatment outcomes and future oral health as well as significantly decrease any possible complications.
- CrownsIf your dental implant feels loose, we’ll have you come to our office so we can determine the cause. Usually when a dental implant seems loose, it’s actually the healing abutment or restoration attached to the implant (the crown, bridge, or denture) that is loose, not the implant itself. However, if it is the implant that is loose, prompt care is needed in order to save it, which is why we’ll want you to come to our office regardless.

- Root Canal TreatmentSometimes root canals fail. In this case, an apicoectomy can relieve pain and remove a deep infection in the root. An apicoectomy alleviates pain and reduces the risk that an infection will spread.

- DenturesWhen a tooth is lost or extracted, the nearby bone starts to disappear as it is resorbed by the body. This can compromise the teeth nearby, and can lead to the sunken look that is a hallmark of denture wearers. Those who wear dentures will also find their dentures getting looser and looser from the progressive loss of jawbone.
- Dental ImplantsA beautiful smile can certainly boost your self-confidence, but it is not the only reason to choose dental implants. With a 95% success rate when placed by a qualified specialist, dental implants also have important health benefits.

- Tooth ExtractionsYou’ll be able to choose between local anesthesia only or local anesthesia with IV sedation. IV sedation allows you to sleep through your procedure. While, technically speaking, you are still conscious and breathing on your own, you will have no awareness or memory of your wisdom tooth extraction. If your wisdom teeth are impacted, even with local anesthesia the procedure can be uncomfortable due to the sounds and feelings of pressure and pulling, so if you are prone to anxiety or feel nervous about medical or dental procedures, you may wish to be sedated.

- OrthodonticsImpacted teeth do not fully erupt. If the impacted tooth is a wisdom tooth, it should be properly evaluated to determine if it requires removal. Other impacted teeth may be surgically exposed, and braces (orthodontics) may be needed to create enough room for the tooth to emerge.
