Wisdom Tooth Extractions
Wisdom tooth extractions are often necessary when these third molars become impacted, misaligned, or cause pain. These teeth can crowd other teeth, lead to infections, or cause gum disease if left untreated.
Importance of the Procedure:
- Prevents overcrowding: Wisdom teeth can cause misalignment of your other teeth.
- Relieves pain: Impacted or infected wisdom teeth can cause significant discomfort.
- Prevents infection: Partial eruption of wisdom teeth can trap food and bacteria, increasing the risk of infection.
We use modern techniques to perform wisdom tooth extractions with minimal discomfort and a quick recovery.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a highly effective solution for replacing missing or damaged teeth. They offer a permanent and natural-looking alternative to dentures or bridges.
Benefits of Implants:
- Permanent solution: Dental implants are designed to last for many years, often a lifetime with proper care.
- Natural look and feel: Implants mimic the look and function of your natural teeth.
- Preserves bone health: Unlike dentures, implants stimulate the jawbone and help prevent bone loss.
The Process:
The implant procedure involves placing a titanium post into the jawbone, which acts as a replacement root. After a healing period, a custom-made crown is placed on top. The entire process is carefully planned to ensure long-term success and comfort.
Tooth Extractions
Tooth extractions may be necessary for several reasons, including severe decay, infection, or overcrowding. Removing a problematic tooth can alleviate pain and prevent further dental complications.
When and Why Extractions Are Necessary:
- Severe decay or infection: If a tooth is beyond repair due to decay or infection, extraction is often the best option.
- Crowding: In cases where teeth are overcrowded, extractions can create space for orthodontic treatment.
- Damaged or fractured teeth: Teeth that are cracked or broken beyond repair may need to be extracted to preserve oral health.
Our team ensures that tooth extractions are done with care, using effective anesthesia to minimize discomfort during the procedure.
Sedation Options
We understand that some patients may feel anxious about oral surgery, which is why we offer several sedation options to make the process more comfortable.
Sedation Techniques to Enhance Patient Comfort:
- Local Anesthesia: Numbs the specific area being treated, keeping you awake but pain-free during the procedure.
- Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): A mild sedative inhaled through a mask to help you relax during the procedure. It’s fast-acting and wears off quickly.
- Oral Sedation: A pill taken before the procedure to help you feel calm and relaxed.
- IV Sedation: Administered through an intravenous line for deeper sedation, ideal for more complex procedures.
Our goal is to ensure you feel comfortable and relaxed while we provide safe, effective treatment.
