Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth removal addresses impacted molars causing pain, crowding, or infection. Our oral surgeons use advanced imaging to plan extractions, offering sedation options for patient comfort. Recovery includes post-operative care instructions and follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing.
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions using titanium posts integrated with jawbone. We offer endosteal, subperiosteal, and zygomatic implants with customized crowns. Bone grafting may be performed to ensure implant stability for patients with jawbone deterioration.
All-On-4
All-On-4 implants replace entire tooth arches using four strategically placed implants. This technique allows immediate loading of temporary prosthetics, minimizing surgery time and recovery. Patients receive permanent custom-crafted dental arches after osseointegration completes.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting restores jawbone volume for implant candidates. We use autografts, allografts, and synthetic materials to rebuild bone structure. This procedure addresses bone loss from tooth extraction or periodontal disease, enabling successful implant placement.
Impacted Canine Treatment
Impacted canine treatment addresses unerupted upper eye teeth through surgical exposure and orthodontic alignment. We create space for proper tooth positioning, often combining surgical intervention with braces to guide teeth into correct alignment for improved function and aesthetics.
