Oral Treatment & Procedures
Do you have decayed or injured teeth? Perhaps you've been diagnosed with an alignment issue in your jaw, infection or other oral health problem.
These conditions can all cause persistent, complex issues for your oral and overall health. Our dentists in Boucherville are here to assess your needs, identify the type of disease, injury or defect causing your symptoms and provide treatment. This may include oral surgery.
Common oral surgery procedures include placing dental implants to address missing teeth, gum grafts to stop gum recession and tooth extractions to prevent long-term problems.
Your dentist is equipped to dedicate the care and attention necessary to treat any issues related to your teeth, gums, mouth or jaws.
Dental Implants
A dental implant acts as a natural tooth root to replace a missing tooth. Your dentist will surgically place a small titanium screw into your jawbone to support an artificial replacement tooth such as a crown or bridge. Paired with a tooth replacement, a dental implant looks and feels much like a natural tooth.
Tooth Extractions
When we can, we always opt to save a natural tooth to avoid extraction and potential long-term oral health complications. However, we may recommend removing a tooth that's been too badly damaged due to injury, gum disease or decay. In that case, your dentist can offer advice about tooth replacements.
Wisdom Tooth Removal
Impacted wisdom teeth are the final set of molars that most people get in their late teens or early twenties. They may become trapped in your gums or jawbones. If this happens, your dentist may recommend removing them to prevent any oral health problems.
Gum Grafts
During a gum graft procedure, your dentist will transplant gum tissue from the roof of the mouth to another area where there is little or no gum tissue. This may be necessary to repair receding gums, cover exposed tooth roots and reduce associated symptoms such as loose teeth or bleeding gums.
