We perform an extraction when a tooth is severely damaged due to decay, infection, or trauma, or if it’s causing crowding or alignment issues.
During the procedure, our oral surgeon will numb the area with local anesthesia, loosen the affected tooth, and remove it from its socket. In some cases, a small incision in the gum tissue may be necessary to access the tooth.
After the tooth has been removed, the area will be cleansed, and a gauze pad will be applied to manage any bleeding.
Dental implants offer a lasting fix for lost teeth, providing a replacement that can bring back your smile and help avoid additional oral health problems. Whether it’s from an accident, decay, or other causes, an implant consists of a titanium rod inserted into the jawbone with a crown or bridge affixed on top.
As the jawbone naturally integrates with the titanium post over time through a process known as osseointegration, it results in a strong and enduring substitute tooth.
When the pulp inside a tooth becomes infected or inflamed, a root canal procedure may be needed to save the tooth.
Our surgeon removes the infected pulp, cleans and disinfects the inside of the tooth, and uses a special filling to seal the site and prevent further infection.
When the tooth is still weak after treatment, we place a crown over the treated tooth to provide additional protection and restore its strength and function.
Bone grafting is a procedure used to restore or augment bone in the jaw. It is typically performed in preparation for dental implants or to repair bone loss caused by periodontal disease or trauma.
First, the surgeon will place bone graft material in the affected area, which serves as a scaffold for new bone growth. The graft material will be replaced by your natural bone, creating a stable foundation for dental implants and supporting the surrounding teeth.
