Dental Examination
The older the patient the more likely an impacted eyetooth will not erupt by natural forces alone, even if the space is available for the tooth to fit in the dental arch. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that a panoramic x-ray, along with a dental examination, be performed on all dental patients at the age of seven to count the teeth and determine if there are problems with eruption of the adult teeth. It is important to determine whether all the adult teeth are present or if some adult teeth missing.
X-rays
USES & DISCLOSURES OF PHI. Your PHI may be used and disclosed by our Practice’s dentist, administrative and or clinical staff and others outside of our Practice who are involved in your care and treatment for the purpose of providing healthcare services to you. This includes dental records, dental x-rays and payment information. This also includes information such as sensitive information including your social security number, credit card number, and other identifiable information in addition to sensitive medical information such as HIV status.

Crowns
Not all dental problems are limited to the surface of the tooth, such as cavities or crowns. Some issues require surgical intervention to extract problem teeth, address bone deterioration, or correct structural concerns. Oral surgeons are specially trained to perform surgery for complicated mouth, teeth, jaw, or facial problems or trauma.
Bridges
If the eruption path is cleared and the space is opened up by age 11-12, there is a good chance that the impacted eyetooth will erupt with nature’s help. If the eyetooth is allowed to develop too much under the surface (by age 13-14), the impacted eyetooth will not erupt by itself, even with the space cleared for its eruption. If the patient is older (over 40), there is a much higher chance that the tooth will be fused in position. In these cases, the tooth will not budge despite all the efforts of the orthodontist and oral surgeon to erupt it into place. Sadly, the only option at this point is to extract the impacted tooth and consider an alternate treatment to replace it in the dental arch (crown on a dental implant or a fixed bridge).
Dental Bonding

Root Canal Treatment
Severe tooth decay that has reached the center of the tooth. If a root canal cannot help clear away the infection, our doctors may recommend tooth extraction to prevent the decay from spreading.

Dentures
Some patients who come to Coastal Virginia Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery require minor oral surgical procedures before receiving a partial or complete denture to ensure their maximum comfort while wearing the prosthetic. A denture sits on the bone ridge, so it is very important that the bone is the proper shape and size. If a tooth needs to be extracted, the underlying bone might be sharp and uneven afterward. For the best fit of a denture, the bone might need to be smoothed or reshaped. Occasionally, excess bone may need to be removed prior to denture insertion.

Dental Implants
After a tooth is lost, the jaw begins to naturally deteriorate. Without the tooth root to provide stimulation, the bone is reabsorbed by the body. While this process isn’t immediate, in as little as a year after tooth loss, the jaw may no longer be stable enough for a dental implant.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
There are steps you can take after oral surgery and other dental procedures to reduce oral pain and help you quickly recover.
Jaw Surgery
For Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, and Norfolk patients who are having significant oral health concerns, corrective jaw surgery might be the answer. This is a tool our doctors use to correct misalignment of the jaws or other congenital defects so a patient can have a beautiful as well as functional smile. Overall, it’s an excellent way for patients to improve their bite, correct their breathing problems, and much more.
Pre-prosthetic Surgery
Maxillofacial Surgery
While Dr. Yeh is from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, he headed to the University of Pittsburgh for his undergraduate studies, where he majored in Exercise Science. He decided to stay in Pittsburgh to complete his dental training, and it was while he was a student at dental school that he discovered his true passion for all things related to oral and maxillofacial surgery. This motivation allowed him to study under some of the most renowned oral surgeons in the field.
Tooth Extractions
Maintaining good oral health is important to keep the mouth working well, and because of that, sometimes tooth extraction is necessary. When a tooth becomes so riddled with decay that it is no longer salvageable, tooth extraction is the recommended course of action to prevent this decay from spreading to other teeth.
Ridge Augmentation
PRP can be used to aid bone grafting for dental implants. This includes onlay and inlay grafts, sinus lift procedures, ridge augmentation procedures, closure of cleft and/or lip, and palate defects. It can also assist in repair of bone defects created by removal of teeth, or small cysts and repair of fistulas between the sinus cavity and mouth.
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 refer you to an orthodontist if a problem is identified. Treating such a problem may involve an orthodontist placing braces to open spaces allowing for proper eruption of the adult teeth. Treatment may also require referral to an oral surgeon for extraction of over-retained baby teeth and/or selected adult teeth that are blocking the eruption of the all-important eyeteeth. The oral surgeon will also need to remove any extra teeth (supernumerary teeth) or growths that are blocking the eruption of any adult teeth.

General Dentistry
After gaining much practical experience, he then practiced general dentistry in Tidewater for three years. However, this field wasn’t quite the one for him, so he went back to the books to work toward becoming an oral surgeon.
