Oral Surgery

The wisdom teeth are the last to erupt through the jaw. While these teeth may have served a purpose to humans in the long past, when tooth loss was a standard part of life, in the current days, these teeth often do not have enough space to come through the gums.

Many people in their mid-twenties will have wisdom tooth problems. The jaw may not have enough room for the teeth to come in (erupt).

Removal of wisdom teeth could be done while you are sedated and being carefully monitored.

Functional crown lengthening is performed to remove excess gum and bone tissue in order to place a crown. This allows the gum line to look natural and enhance your natural smile.

Some of our patients have a problem with the “canine” teeth – the pointed teeth to the side of your front top and bottom four teeth.

Sometimes a tooth cannot be restored, whether due to extensive decay, the tooth is broken, the root cracked, or trauma has damaged the tooth beyond repair. In these cases, an extraction is necessary.

After a tooth has been extracted, whether a wisdom tooth or other tooth, you will be provided with full aftercare instructions.

After you undergo oral surgery, it is important that you follow the post-surgery directions carefully.
