Our Oral Surgery Services
At Associated Dentists, we offer a variety of oral surgery services to address a wide range of dental issues:
- Tooth Extractions: We perform both simple and complex tooth extractions, including wisdom teeth removal, to alleviate pain and prevent further dental issues.
- Bone and Tissue Grafting: This procedure is essential for patients who have experienced bone loss in the jaw, providing a solid foundation for dental implants.
- Full Mouth Extractions: For patients needing comprehensive dental restoration, full mouth extractions prepare the mouth for implants or other restorative solutions.
- Root Canals: Root canal therapy saves and restores infected or severely decayed teeth, alleviating pain and preserving your natural teeth.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a permanent solution for missing teeth, designed to function like natural teeth. Here’s how the process works at Associated Dentists:
- Initial Consultation: We evaluate your dental health and determine the best treatment plan for your needs.
- Implant Placement: A titanium screw is surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as a root for the new tooth. Learn more about implant placement.
- Healing Period: The implant integrates with the jawbone over several months, providing a stable foundation.
- Abutment Placement: An abutment is attached to the implant, serving as a connector for the crown.
- Final Restoration: A custom-made crown is placed on the abutment, completing the restoration.
Advantages of dental implants include improved aesthetics, better oral health, and enhanced functionality compared to traditional dentures or bridges.
