Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth (also known as third molars) are the last teeth to develop and appear in a mouth. They come in between the ages of 17 and 25. In many cases, wisdom teeth do not grow in fully and remain impacted. An impacted wisdom tooth can damage neighbouring teeth or become infected. Wisdom teeth can also be hard to clean, which would invite bacteria that lead to gum disease.
We recommend to have an evaluation of your wisdom teeth early on, to determine your risk of developing disease and establish if there is a need for extractions.

Dental Implant surgery and tissue grafting
More people are getting dental implants to replace missing teeth. Dental implants can be a long-term solution that is embedded in your jawbone, similar to your natural teeth. Dental implants can be used to replace a single tooth, multiple teeth or entire set of teeth. Dental implants can also be used to support and stabilize a denture prosthesis.
Implants heal through a process called osseointegration. There is no shortcut to get around that process, and it usually takes several months before the implant is ready to be used for function. The duration and success of implant therapy is affected by multiple factors, so every patient situation is unique.
We recommend scheduling a consultation to discuss your individual case and determine the treatment option that is right for you.

Virtual treatment planning, 3-D imaging and Image guided surgery
Our practice places a special emphasis on the use of virtual surgical planning for placement of dental implants, wisdom tooth removal, corrective jaw surgery, and jaw reconstruction. Use of virtual surgical planning increases the precision and accuracy of surgery. This in turn improves surgical outcomes and decreases your recovery time and risk of complications.

Corrective Jaw Surgery
Orthognathic surgery is needed when the top and bottom jaws do not meet correctly and/or teeth do not adequately fit within the jaw. Teeth are straightened with orthodontics, and corrective jaw surgery repositions a misaligned jaw. This not only improves facial appearance, but also ensures that teeth meet correctly and function properly. Orthognathic surgery can also be used to open up the airway space, and therefore can be a treatment of choice for patients with severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

Anesthesia
Several methods of anesthesia are available. The method of anesthesia that is chosen by a patient depends upon the nature of the surgical procedure and the patient’s level of apprehension. When it comes to anesthesia, our first priority is the patient’s comfort and safety. Our office offers a special expertise in medical evaluation of patients and in delivery and monitoring of anesthesia for both adults and pediatric patients.
During your consultation appointment, we will review the anesthesia options available and discuss your specific risks associated with anesthesia. Our goal is to offer safe and comfortable options to enhance your surgical experience.
