  • surgical extraction 3rd molar thumbnail
    Surgical Extraction (3rd Molar)
    When a 3rd molar, or wisdom tooth, becomes impacted or oriented in a way that jeopardizes the health of your surrounding teeth, bone, and tissue, your dentist may recommend extracting it. If the tooth requires surgical access to be removed, your dentist will likely perform what is called a surgical extraction.

    Screw-Retained Implant
    Replacing a tooth can be accomplished with a dental implant. A dental implant restores mouth to ideal function; stabilizing the surrounding bone, tissue and teeth by substituting the root structure of the missing tooth. This helps to prevent further serious complications that can arise if the missing tooth is left untreated. It usually requires multiple appointments to complete a dental implant placement.
