IMPACTED CANINES

The second most commonly impacted teeth are the upper canines ). If they do not erupt as normal, our dentist may also take X-rays to determine whether the canines are impacted, to check the impacted tooth’s position, and to assess any effects on the neighboring teeth and structures.

BONE GRAFTING

A bone graft is an oral surgery procedure that may be required if your jawbone is not dense or thick enough. While we typically see best results with bone taken from your own body, we can also utilize artificial bone material or bone fragments from a tissue bank if needed. Your jawbone then grows together with the grafted bone tissue, creating a stronger, more stable foundation.

WISDOM TEETH EXTRACTIONS

Our oral surgeon may recommend tooth removal to avoid serious complications and to keep your smile healthy. We will carefully evaluate your smile, including the positioning of your teeth and wisdom teeth, to determine whether your smile would benefit from tooth removal.

 

ORAL BIOPSY

A biopsy is a medical procedure in which a small sample of gum or other tissue will be removed from your mouth and sent to a lab for analysis. This allows our oral surgeon to diagnose potential periodontal disease, oral cancer, or other pathogenic dental conditions. This is not a particularly painful procedure that can save your life.

TMJ DISORDER

TMJ disorder — a type of temporomandibular disorder or TMD — can cause pain in your jaw joint and in the muscles that control jaw movement. The exact cause of a person's TMJ disorder is often difficult to determine. Your pain may be due to a combination of factors, such as genetics, arthritis or jaw injury.
