Wisdom teeth removal

Wisdom teeth are molars found in the very back of your mouth, usually appearing in late teens or early twenties. They may become impacted due to lack of room or angle of entry. Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to gum tenderness, swelling, severe pain, tooth decay, recurring infections, and gum disease. Your oral surgeon will take a panoramic X-ray to determine if removal is necessary. Early removal is often recommended to prevent future complications.

Dental implants

For those who have lost teeth due to injury or disease, dental implants can restore both smile and function. An implant is a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone, which then undergoes osseointegration (fuses with the bone) over three to six months. Once healed, a replacement tooth is attached. Ideal candidates are non-smokers in good health with adequate bone and healthy gum tissue. Implants can replace single or multiple teeth, and can also anchor dentures.

Oral pathology

The oral cavity is lined with mucosa. The mucosa is tissue which normally is smooth, pinkish in color, and moist. Changes in these characteristics can indicate an abnormality or a pathological process. Many of the changes are benign, but the most serious of these pathological processes is oral cancer. The changes can occur on the lips, tongue, palate, cheeks, gums, and throat.
