Dental Surgery Can Keep Your Mouth Healthy

A bone graft procedure is generally done to prepare your jaw for a dental implant. You can lose bone mass in your jaw as you age or as a result of tooth loss. A dental implant anchors into your jawbone, much like your natural tooth, so it’s important you have enough bone to properly support it. The graft will stimulate your jaw to produce more bone.
Your wisdom teeth are your third set of molars. They typically appear in your late teens or early twenties. However, not everyone must have them removed. Some possible scenarios requiring wisdom teeth extraction are:

• Your mouth is not large enough to accommodate a third set of molars, and their eruption will cause overcrowding and pain
• Your wisdom teeth are coming in at an angle
• Your wisdom teeth are coming in beneath your other teeth
• Your wisdom teeth are only partially erupting and putting you at risk for infection

If the frenum under your or your child’s tongue is restricting its movement, we can perform a frenectomy, or “tongue-tie” procedure. Using a gentle, low-power laser, your dentist will reduce the size of the frenum and free up the tongue to make talking easier.
