Oral Surgeon in Chinatown
If you require tooth extraction, then you want a practice that will provide their services in an environment of optimum safety that utilizes modern monitoring equipment and staff that are experienced in anesthesia techniques. At Dental Specialty Associates, our expert
oral surgeon in Chinatown manages and treats a wide variety of problems related to the entire oral cavity. Our treatments include, but are not limited to, surgical extractions, uncovering impacted, un-erupted teeth, apicoectomies, bone grafting, sinus lifts, soft tissue surgeries, periodontal surgery, and implant placement. One of the most common services we provide for our patients is wisdom tooth removal.
The average mouth is made to hold only 28 teeth. But by the age of eighteen, the average adult has 32 teeth; 16 teeth on the top and 16 teeth on the bottom. It can be painful when these four other teeth, your Third Molars which are also known as "wisdom teeth”, try to fit in a mouth that holds only 28 teeth. When they align properly and gum tissue is healthy, wisdom teeth do not have to be removed. Unfortunately, this does not generally happen. The extraction of wisdom teeth is necessary when they are prevented from properly erupting within the mouth. Fortunately, at Dental Specialty Associates, our
oral surgeon in Chinatown will happily provide you with wisdom tooth extraction. When tooth removal is necessary, we can perform simple and surgical extractions using local anesthesia or IV sedation. First, though, an oral examination and x-rays of the mouth will be taken so our doctors can evaluate the position of the wisdom teeth and predict if there may be present or future problems. Studies have shown that early evaluation and treatment result in a superior outcome for the patient.
Patients are generally first evaluated in the mid- teenage years by their dentist, orthodontist, or by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Early removal is recommended to avoid future problems and to decrease the surgical risk involved with the procedure. If you are approaching this age range, have never had your wisdom teeth evaluated, or if these extra molars are already causing you pain and discomfort, it is best you consult Dental Specialty Associates for more information regarding wisdom tooth extraction. Our
oral surgeon in Chinatown is highly regarded, expertly trained, and has been caring for the needs of the community for years, and we’d be happy to provide you with the same care during your tooth extraction.
