Safeguarding Your Oral Health

What Are Wisdom Teeth?


Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last set of teeth to develop, typically emerging between the ages of 17 and 25. While some people have wisdom teeth that erupt without issues, many experience problems due to lack of space or improper alignment.


Why Remove Wisdom Teeth?


  • Impaction: Wisdom teeth that fail to fully emerge can become impacted, leading to pain, infection, and damage to adjacent teeth.
  • Crowding: Eruption can cause overcrowding, shifting other teeth out of alignment.
  • Decay and Gum Disease: Difficult to clean areas may lead to cavities or periodontal disease.
  • Cysts or Tumors: Rarely, impacted teeth can develop cysts that damage the jawbone.

Restoring Your Smile and Function

What Are Dental Implants?


Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of biocompatible materials, such as titanium, surgically placed into the jawbone. They provide a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth that match your natural teeth.


Benefits of Dental Implants


  • Natural Appearance: Mimic the look and feel of natural teeth.
  • Improved Function: Restore chewing and speaking abilities.
  • Durability: Long-lasting solution with proper care.
  • Bone Preservation: Prevent bone loss by stimulating the jawbone.
  • Convenience: Eliminate the discomfort of removable dentures.

  4. Implant Placement
  5. Anesthesia Options: Ensuring a pain-free experience.
  6. Surgical Procedure: Precise placement of the implant into the jawbone.
  7. Healing Period: Allowing time for osseointegration (bone fusion).
  8. Abutment and Restoration
  9. Abutment Placement: Connector between the implant and the crown.
  10. Crown Placement: Custom-made prosthetic tooth attached to the abutment.
  11. Final Adjustments: Ensuring proper fit and aesthetics.
