Tooth Extraction

Tooth extraction may be recommended to remove severely infected and damaged teeth or to create space in a crowded mouth. An infected tooth can sometimes be preserved through root canal therapy, but if the infection is too severe for effective treatment, the tooth may require extraction.

Wisdom Tooth Removal

If you do not have enough room in your dental arch to support wisdom teeth, our dentists may recommend wisdom tooth removal. Extraction can prevent complications like infection, periodontal disease, overcrowding, and misalignment.

Bone Grafting

Bone grafting uses organic or synthetic materials to replace or build up bone, restoring areas that have become weak or recessed. The ultimate goal of bone grafting is to create sufficient support for dental implants or to repair bone that has been damaged by periodontal disease.

Gum grafting involves transplanting gum tissue to repair a damaged gum line. The procedure can use your own gum tissue from another area of your mouth, donor tissue, or synthetic tissue The tissue is then transplanted to cover your tooth roots, even your gum line, and minimize further recession.
