Posted on Wed, Feb 22, 2012
This month’s newsletter is (almost) all about your teeth. The health of your teeth can have an impact on your overall health, and you already know that the look of your teeth is important to your social and professional life.
Removing damaged or unhealthy teeth
If a tooth is damaged or causing problems for other teeth, removing those teeth will make a big difference to both the health and look of your teeth.
The most common reasons for tooth extractions are: tooth decay, gum disease, infection, a broken tooth, an impacted wisdom tooth, a failed root canal, bone erosion, injury, a cyst, or crowded teeth. Dr. Stover strives to make tooth extractions as comfortable for you as possible, while also maintaining the integrity of surrounding teeth. Find out what to expect from tooth extractions.
You’ve had to have a tooth extracted – now what?
If you need a tooth extraction, the gold standard for tooth replacement is a dental implant. No one will ever know you have had a tooth extraction.
What are the four top benefits of dental implants?
- Appearance: They’re perfect for replacing missing teeth in visible areas without the need for movable bridges or dentures.
- Convenience: They feel like natural teeth and don’t move while you eat.
- Durability: Dental implants also last longer than most bridges.
- Comfort: Implants can take the place of dentures that are loose and/or have caused gum blisters.
Learn all about dental implants – what’s involved and what you can expect.
Did you know there are different kinds of wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth can often be problematic, causing oral health problems that you may not be aware of. Most wisdom teeth fail to grow straight, which frequently causes them to become impacted or infected.
There are three different classifications of wisdom teeth:
- Erupted – In this case, the entire tooth is exposed, so the tooth extraction is easier because only soft tissue is involved.
- Partial bony – Part of the tooth is exposed, while the other portion is surrounded by bone. The surgery becomes more complicated in this case.
- Full bony – The entire tooth is surrounded by bone, making this type of extraction the most complex.
Do you need to have your wisdom teeth removed? Call or for an examination to determine if you would benefit from wisdom tooth extraction oral surgery. Or if you prefer, use this handy oral surgery contact form.
