Did you know that dental implants are designed to act as a replacement for your natural tooth or teeth? They are frequently the ideal and best treatment option to replacing missing teeth. More and more now people are getting dental implants. They are a long term solution that is inserted and anchored in your jawbone, just like your natural teeth.
It is strongly recommended that third molars or wisdom teeth be evaluated by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon by the time the patient is a young adult. Your surgeon can assess the presence and position of the wisdom teeth, disease status and discuss management options ranging from removal to monitoring the teeth.
Our oral and maxillofacial surgeons are well trained in the diagnosis and treatment of oral pathology, and are able to perform the complex bone grafting surgeries and soft tissue augmentation to reconstruct defects so that you may receive implants or dentures in the future.
An oral surgeon may need to remove extra teeth or growths that are impeding the eruption of adult teeth. Your surgeon will then evaluate the gum tissue around the tooth to make sure it is sufficiently strong and healthy to last for a lifetime.
