Teeth called Third Molars are also known as "wisdom teeth." Removal of Wisdom teeth is necessary when the teeth are prevented from properly erupting within the mouth. 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.
Patients who have a high level of anxiety that interferes with the cooperation necessary for the dentist to perform treatment may require some level of sedation. Conscious sedation is an option for patients who are six years of age or more and are mildly apprehensive.
Dental implants are changing the way people live. They are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth which look, feel and function like natural teeth. The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved. Patients with dental implants can smile with confidence.
Implants also help preserve facial structure, preventing bone deterioration that occurs when teeth are missing. Bone Grafting may be an option, if necessary, to restore bone structure so that dental implants can be placed. Most patients experience minimal disruption in their daily life.
