Tooth Extractions are always our last option — saving your smile is our number one priority. However, a problematic tooth can lead to further complications, risking your full smile. In this case, Dr. Patel may recommend an extraction as the best way to get your oral health back on the right path. With gentle techniques and a unique focus on your comfort and with local anesthesia or sedation, decaying teeth can be removed to alleviate your discomfort. Once completed, alternative options such as dental implants, a bridge, or another type of tooth replacement procedure can be discussed.

Waiting to replace a missing tooth can cause serious consequences. Soon after you lose a tooth, the process of bone loss can start quickly, making it difficult to place dental implants properly. Bone grafting increases bone density so that you can restore your smile with dental implants. This is required to place an implant as it needs to have a strong foundation for the restoration. Bone grafting is one of the first steps in widening your tooth replacement choices. Get in touch to learn more about how we can restore your smile.

Wisdom teeth removal may be the most common oral surgical procedure, but it can be a complicated one. That's why it's important to go to an expert.

Having completed hundreds of wisdom teeth surgeries, Dr. Patel is well versed in the complexities of treatment and how best to approach each individual. You can rest assured knowing your teeth are in the hands of an expert.

We don't blame you for feeling anxious when you notice pus forming around an infected tooth root. Not only can this cause significant stress, but toothaches, poor breath, foul tastes, and even fevers. You don't have to deal with this discomfort forever — let us solve the issue for you with an abscess treatment.

An abscess treatment will clear out the pus and prepare your tooth before a root canal or extraction. This is the first step in your restorative journey to get your teeth back and thriving. Don't hesitate to get in touch if you notice any pus around your teeth.

Alleviating teeth grinding and bite misalignment due to excess bone (or tori) can be stressful and uncomfortable, but we have a solution. Tori removal is a common procedure performed by Dr. Patel that prevents further teeth complications, increases tongue and airway space, as well as prepares your smile for any future procedures. These little bone growths can interfere with many restorative treatments such as dentures, dental bridges, or dental implants. Get these treated to prevent any issues before restoring your smile.

After losing a tooth, you may experience bone loss overtime in the area where the tooth was removed. This is why you may hear Dr. Patel recommend ridge augmentation before getting dental implants. Ridge augmentation recreates the natural contour of the gums and jaw bone to restore its previous function and form. Ridge augmentation is a necessary procedure to strengthen your jaw bone to help ensure your dental implant will have long term success.

Insecurity about a gummy smile is not uncommon. If you are wanting to change the shape of your gums, improve gum tissue, or prepare for tooth restoration, crown lengthening does it all. It serves cosmetic purposes by eliminating excess gum tissue around the teeth. This will give you a balanced smile that will make you feel confident.

Crown lengthening can be a medical necessity. For example, crown lengthening is commonly used to prepare a damaged tooth for a dental crown to avoid future problems. Learn more about our options by getting in touch with us.
