Dental Examination
The older the patient, the more likely an impacted eye tooth will not erupt by nature’s forces alone even if the space is available for the tooth to fit in the dental arch. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that around the age of seven, a panorex screening x-ray along with a dental examination be performed in order to count the teeth and determine if there are problems with the eruption of the adult teeth.

Dental Examination
The older the patient, the more likely an impacted eye tooth will not erupt by nature’s forces alone even if the space is available for the tooth to fit in the dental arch. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that around the age of seven, a panorex screening x-ray along with a dental examination be performed in order to count the teeth and determine if there are problems with the eruption of the adult teeth.

Crowns
Learn how Dental Implants are used to restore a single tooth to match your other teeth. A implant supported crown can help preserve the surrounding bone by replacing the tooth root.
Bridges
Watch how a Dental Bridge can be used to replace multiple lost teeth with a combination of dental implants and a bridge. This method looks, feels and performs like your original teeth, but doesn’t compromise your natural teeth due to the implants.
Dental Bonding

Dentures
If bleeding persists, call our office immediately. Do not remove immediate denture unless the bleeding is severe. Expect some oozing around the side of the denture.
Overdentures
Both upper or lower dentures (also known as overdentures) can be secured using dental implants resulting in a more stable and secure method than conventional dentures can offer.

Dental Implants
Over a period of time, the jawbone associated with missing teeth atrophies or is re-absorbed. This often leaves a condition in which there is poor quality and quantity of bone suitable for placement of dental implants. In these situations, most patients are not candidates for placement of dental implants.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
What are your anesthesia options for during oral surgery? This video discusses sedation during your detail procedure including Oral Sedation, Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas), and IV Sedation.
Gum Surgery
Shortly after surgery (1-14 days) the patient will return to the orthodontist. A rubber band will be attached to the chain, which will put a light, eruptive pulling force on the impacted tooth. This will begins the process of moving the tooth into its proper place in the dental arch. This is a slow, carefully controlled process that may take up to a full year to complete. Remember, the goal is to erupt the impacted tooth, and not to extract it! Once the tooth is moved into its final position moved into the arch in its final position, the gum around it will be evaluated to make sure it is sufficiently strong and healthy to last for a lifetime of chewing and tooth brushing. In some circumstances, especially those where the tooth had to be moved a long distance, there may be some minor “gum surgery” required to add bulk to the gum tissue over the relocated tooth so it remains healthy during normal function. Your dentist or orthodontist will explain this situation to you if it applies to your specific situation.
Tooth Extractions
After tooth extraction, it’s important for a blood clot to form to stop the bleeding and begin the healing process. That’s why we ask you to bite on a gauze pad for 30-45 minutes after the appointment. If the bleeding or oozing still persists, place another gauze pad at the extraction site and bite firmly for another 30 minutes. You may have to do this several times.
Ridge Augmentation
Bone grafting for dental implants includes onlay and inlay grafts, sinus lift procedures, ridge augmentation procedures, and closure of cleft, lip and palate defects.
Bone Grafting
Ease of use: PRP is easy to handle and actually improves the ease of application of bone substitute materials and bone grafting products by making them more gel-like.

Braces
This exam is usually performed by your general dentist or hygienist who will then refer you to an orthodontist if a problem is identified. Treating such a problem may involve an orthodontist placing braces to open spaces to allow for proper eruption of the adult teeth. Treatment could also require a referral to an oral surgeon for extraction of over-retained baby teeth and/or selected adult teeth, which that are blocking the eruption of the all-important eyeteeth. The oral surgeon will also need to remove any extra teeth (
