Simple Tooth Extractions
If you are experiencing severe tooth sensitivity or suffering from advanced periodontal disease, tooth extraction may be necessary to restore your oral health. In cases of extreme decay or infection, the affected tooth may no longer be viable, and extraction becomes the most effective solution to prevent further complications. For example, if the tooth has become loose or is causing significant pain, removing it can help prevent the spread of infection to neighboring teeth or the surrounding bone.

Apicoectomy
Teeth are anchored firmly in the jawbone by strong roots. Molars and premolars typically have multiple roots, while the front incisors have a single root. The end of each root, called the apex, is where the nerves and blood vessels enter the tooth, providing essential blood flow to the crown (the visible part of the tooth).

Bone Grafting
Bone grafting is an essential procedure often associated with dental restorations like bridge work and dental implants. The success of these restorations largely depends on the height, depth, and width of the jawbone at the implant site. When the jawbone has receded or been significantly damaged, it cannot adequately support the implants, making bone grafting a necessary step to prepare for the restoration.

Impacted Canines
Canine teeth play a crucial role in biting, guiding other teeth into proper alignment, and contributing to a harmonious smile. Impacted canines, often caused by overcrowding or extra teeth, can disrupt these functions. Early detection is key, and treatment may involve tooth extraction, orthodontic intervention, or surgical exposure to guide the canine into position.

Oral Pathology
An oral exam is a routine part of a comprehensive dental evaluation during both initial visits and regular check-ups. In addition to assessing the overall health of your teeth and gums, a thorough oral cancer exam is performed to identify and manage any potential diseases affecting the oral and maxillofacial regions.
