Wisdom Tooth Removal
Removal of wisdom teeth that are impacted, decaying, or repeatedly infecting the gum around them, planned from a panoramic x-ray.
Not every wisdom tooth needs to go. We take the x-ray, look at the angle and the nerve position, and only recommend removal when there is a reason.
What patients notice
- ✦Ends the cycle of gum infections
- ✦Planned from a panoramic x-ray, not on the day
- ✦Referred to an oral surgeon when the case calls for it
Safety & what to expect
Lower wisdom teeth sit near a nerve, and numbness of the lip or tongue is a real if uncommon risk that we go through, with your specific x-ray in front of us, before you consent.

Dental Implants
A titanium post placed in the jaw, left to fuse, then a custom crown. The closest thing to having the tooth back.
Tooth Extraction
Removing a tooth that cannot be saved, gently and with the socket preserved, so whatever replaces it has good bone to sit in.
Bone Grafting
Adding bone volume where a missing tooth has let the jaw shrink, so an implant has something solid to fuse to.
