Oral Surgery and Wisdom Teeth Extractions

If you need preventive wisdom teeth extractions or infected wisdom tooth removal, then reach out to our dental team to learn more about the fast and affordable services that are available. 

 

Bone Grafting

Sometimes, dental implant surgery requires a bone graft. This minimally invasive intervention can be done in our office, creating a biological placeholder to prevent the surrounding tissue from collapsing. The human body responds with guided tissue regeneration to recognize the bone graft teeth piece as the natural dental bone, eventually reabsorbing and replacing the graft with regrown bone. If bone loss has occurred, then a dental bone graft might be necessary for your restorative treatment.

Tooth Crown

A tooth with severe damage can be saved by using a dental crown to support the structure of the tooth. An onlay or inlay will be designed to match the tooth, giving you a long-term solution to protect your oral health.

Dental Bridges

A tooth bridge is designed to fill in the gaps when one or more teeth are missing. Our team will provide recommendations for an implant bridge, or dental bridges that are supported by surrounding healthy teeth. Not only will the bridge improve your smile, but it holds nearby teeth in place as well.

Tooth Filling

Dental decay can lead to serious complications if left untreated, which can be avoided with a cavity filling. We use top-notch technology to remove the decay and replace the space with a tooth-colored dental filling for the best cosmetic results. A tooth filling creates a natural appearance and function, using bonded materials that last for many years.

Root Canal Therapy

An infection in the root of the tooth can be painful and lead to tooth loss if left untreated. Root canal therapy is a special technique performed by an endodontic specialist that removes the infection and then seals the root to protect the structure of the tooth. Technology makes it possible for endodontic therapy to be almost as comfortable and simple as a filling.

Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth surgery reduces the risk of overcrowding in the mouth and infection in the gums. Treatment recommendations vary depending on the positioning and placement of the wisdom teeth. Our team offers wisdom tooth extraction, as well as extractions for other teeth as needed.

A tooth bridge is an excellent solution to replace missing teeth. This dental prosthetic anchors to nearby teeth or implants to fill in the empty space. Visit with our nearby dentist to learn more about your individual needs and identify the best long-lasting solution to restore your smile.

If you are waiting for dental implants to heal or you need to delay your permanent restoration for some reason, then there are times when it makes sense to use a temporary dental bridge. Your local dentist will determine the ideal treatment timeline to help you achieve the long-term results that you desire.

Our dental office close to you offers an option to repair your tooth with a composite cavity filling. First, the dentist will clean out the decay, then the open space is filled with tooth-colored material (such as resin fillings). Finally, the composite materials are hardened using a special dental light, then the restoration is polished and smoothed. Sometimes a temporary dental filling is used if you are waiting for a more permanent restoration.

If you have any conditions impacting the roots of your teeth, then it might make sense to visit an endodontic specialist in your area. A root canal is the most common type of endodontic treatment.
