Oral Surgery
Any surgery that is performed on your teeth, gums, jaw, or nearby oral and facial structures is classified as . Though it’s not anyone’s favorite, some procedures are necessary for improved oral health and the placement of dental implants. Our Jackson, MI, dentists may also recommend treatment of this type for:
- Severe tooth decay
- Broken or impacted teeth
- Complications from gum disease
Below are the range of oral surgery services we offer patients.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Known as your third molars, wisdom teeth consist of four permanent teeth located in the back corners of your mouth on the top and bottom. For most people, wisdom teeth do not appear until they're between the ages of 17 and 25. While it’s not uncommon for wisdom teeth to erupt normally or not even exist, many end up being impacted and require removal by our dentists.
Tooth Extractions
For times when a tooth is beyond repair, extraction is necessary. The procedure is typically a last resort and one that is taken quite seriously by our dentists. Because the preservation of your natural teeth is always a priority for us, we will only remove a tooth if it is severely decayed, damaged, or otherwise compromising your oral health.
Dental Implants
Replacing missing teeth has never looked so natural! Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium that are surgically embedded into your jawbone by our dentists for added stability. After they are inserted and given time to heal, the screw-like post is topped with a dental crown for the final look.
