  Wisdom Teeth Removal Your wisdom teeth are the last adult teeth to appear, usually during the late teens or early 20s. They are the third set of molars to come through, and often, there is insufficient room for these teeth to erupt normally. Consequently, wisdom teeth can create problems by becoming impacted, where they get stuck underneath the adjacent teeth or may try to emerge sideways through the gum. Other times, a wisdom tooth may partially erupt, so it remains partly covered by gum and is very difficult to keep clean and more at risk of becoming infected. Wisdom teeth can also damage the adjacent teeth, causing issues with overcrowding and increasing the risk of these adjacent teeth becoming infected. When wisdom teeth cannot erupt properly, we do need to remove them. Do Wisdom Teeth Always Cause Problems? Some people will have no problems whatsoever as their wisdom teeth push through, and it is always useful to have another set of molars. Therefore, we do not automaticall...

A dental emergency is a situation that involves the teeth, gums or mouth that requires immediate action or attention. Here are some common examples of dental emergencies: Severe Tooth Pain:  Like infection or dental abscess, severe tooth pain requires immediate treatment.

  What Is a Crown? A crown caps or covers the entire tooth, right down to the gum line, so none of the natural tooth underneath is exposed. The crown protects the tooth, sealing it completely so it cannot become infected or decayed. In addition, it restores the tooth to its original size and shape and restores its strength. We will suggest a crown if you have a severely decayed tooth that has lost much of its original structure. Crowns are also used to protect teeth after root canal therapy and can cover dental implants. What Is a Bridge? A bridge is used to restore one or more missing teeth that were originally adjacent to each other. The replacement tooth is supported by crowns fitted over the adjacent teeth or dental implants, forming a restoration that looks and feels strong and natural. We will suggest a bridge if the adjacent teeth, called abutment teeth have enough strength to support the structure. If these teeth are missing entirely, we can use dental implants to support t...
