Wisdom Tooth Extractions

With an oral examination and x-rays of the mouth, we can evaluate the position of your wisdom teeth and predict if there could be future problems. Studies have shown that early evaluation and treatment result in a superior outcome for the patient.

Frenectomies

The small band of muscle fibers hidden under the lip is called the frenum. In some people, this frenum develops too close to the teeth or tongue. Untreated frenums can cause gum recession, a gap between the front teeth, speech problems and a “poor latch” during breastfeeding. 

Gummy Smiles, Gingivectomies & Crown Lengthening

In a simple procedure, excessive gum is removed using local anesthetic to eliminate spaces or pockets (Gingivectomies), expose more of the tooth (Crown lengthening)  or create a more attractive smile (Gummy smile correction)

Eliminating existing bacteria and regenerating bone and tissue helps to reduce pocket depth and repair damage caused by the progression of periodontal disease.  The chronic inflammation associated with this under-the-gumline bacteria, has been linked with serious diseases such as heart disease and stroke.
