Bone grafting is a procedure that is often done to help provide a stable base for restorations like bridges or implants. There are several types of grafts, the most common of which uses bone from the patients own body. Your dentist will review your case and determine the best way to go, using a visual examination, as well as digital and panoramic x-rays to determine the best place to source new material.

Teeth that are impacted have not erupted and can not properly function. Impacted teeth frequently develop problems, like painful infections that may lead to other issues. Sometimes, treatment may involve an orthodontist placing braces to allow space for the impacted tooth. Surgery will then expose the impacted tooth and bracket it, bringing the tooth in to the correct position. Aftercare is typically very easy, and pain is commonly very manageable. Often this surgery is completed with minimal, local anesthetic, like laughing gas.

Dental Implants are a great solution to replace missing teeth because they blend in well with your natural teeth and restore both form and function. Implants can support bridges and dentures, but they can stand by themselves, too. Implants are surgically placed in the jaw, where they serve as a sturdy base for the replacement tooth. The base is commonly made of titanium but may be made of another material that works well with human biology. Implants are long-lasting and easy to maintain restoration for missing teeth.

Root canals may be necessary when a tooth’s pulp become infected or inflamed. Deep cavities, fractures, cracks, and repeated injury can all cause infection or inflammation. Symptoms include extreme sensitivity, pain, discoloration, and gum swelling. Symptoms aren’t always obvious, so x-rays are often needed for accurate diagnosis. During a root canal, the affected pulp is removed, and the canals get cleaned. To prevent re-infection, the entrance to the canal is sealed up at the end of the procedure. To protect the tooth after the procedure, a crown will be fitted to your tooth.
