Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to erupt within the mouth. When they align properly and gum tissue is healthy, wisdom teeth do not have to be removed. Unfortunately, this does not generally happen.

Wisdom teeth, also called third molars, are the last permanent teeth to develop. They most often
erupt (break through the gum) during a person’s late teens or twenties. Wisdom teeth are known
for the dental problems they can cause. Removing the wisdom teeth can help take care of symptoms you’re experiencing now. It may also prevent future problems. If your wisdom teeth are causing pain or infection, your dentist is likely to advise removing them right away. But even if you don’t have symptoms, your dentist may still recommend removal.

Dental Implants

If you are self-conscious about missing teeth or wearing dentures, there’s an alternative that may be right for you: dental implants. Dental implants are one option for replacing missing or badly diseased teeth. A dental implant offers comfort and stability and, by virtue of the artificial tooth it supports, is a restoration that is the closest thing to a natural tooth.

Dental implants have been used for several decades. Patients of all ages have chosen dental implants to replace a single tooth or several teeth or to support partial or full dentures. It’s no surprise. Dental implants and their crowns help restore the ability to chew food. They help fill out a face that otherwise could look sunken because of missing teeth. Unlike dentures, implants and crowns are not removed for overnight soaking and cleaning. No adhesives are needed.
