Why Should I Have My Wisdom Teeth Removed?
Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to erupt within your mouth. When they align properly they may not need to be removed. The pressure from the erupting wisdom teeth may move other teeth and disrupt the natural alignment of your teeth. Extraction of wisdom teeth becomes necessary when they partially emerge from the gum, grow sideways and trap food beneath the gum and the bone.
Partially erupted wisdom teeth allow bacteria to grow around the gums which may lead to an infection. The most serious problem occurs when tumors or cysts form around the impacted wisdom teeth, resulting in the destruction of the jawbone and healthy teeth. Early removal is recommended to avoid potential problems.
At Dental Wellness and Health, Dr. Chahine will evaluate the eruption of your wisdom teeth and discuss appropriate options as necessary.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are natural-looking replacements for teeth that have been lost due to decay, gum disease, root canal failure, trauma, or for teeth that never developed properly. They look and function just like a natural healthy tooth. Replacing your missing teeth with dental implants preserves bone mass and strength while restoring the appearance of your teeth. Dental implants enhance your smile by preventing a sunken facial appearance that can be associated with missing teeth. At Dental Wellness and Health, Dr. Chahine will assess your bone for appropriate implant placement.
