Dental Implants are the most predictable and natural form of tooth replacement. Dental implants are changing the way people live. They are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth which look, feel and function like natural teeth.

What Are Dental Implants? The actual implants are tiny titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. These metal anchors act as tooth root substitutes. The bone bonds with the titanium, which creates a strong foundation for artificial teeth.

Once you learn about dental implants, you finally realize there is a way to improve your life. Implants help to preserve facial structure, preventing bone deterioration that may occur when teeth are missing. If your mouth is not ideal for implants, ways of improving outcome, such as bone grafting, may be recommended.

Third molars are also known as “wisdom teeth.”

Why Should I Have My Wisdom Teeth Removed? Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to erupt within the mouth. 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. These poorly positioned impacted teeth can cause many problems. Removal of the offending impacted teeth usually resolves these problems.

Early wisdom teeth removal is recommended to avoid such future problems and to decrease the surgical risk involved with the procedure.

Studies have shown that early evaluation and treatment of wisdom teeth 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.
