Dental implants are the ideal option for tooth restoration because they look, feel, and function just like a healthy, natural tooth. When a tooth is missing, the jaw bone does not receive the stimulation it needs to stay healthy, leading to bone loss. Your oral surgeon will insert the dental implant into the jaw bone, creating a strong fusion that keeps the jaw bone strong. With this strong foundation, dental implants restore your ability to bite, chew, and speak comfortably. Your implant is made just for your smile and will blend in with your other teeth for beautiful results.

Dr. Karas and Dr. Williams offer many types of dental implant treatments and will determine the right option for you based on your tooth restoration needs, your smile goals, and your budget. He can place a single implant to replace one tooth or multiple teeth throughout the mouth, or an implant-supported bridge to restore several teeth missing next to each other. If you have a damaged or infected tooth that requires extraction, he can extract the tooth and immediately replace it with a same-day dental implant. Mini dental implants are a great option for patients who would like to receive dental implants, but who cannot undergo invasive surgery or lack jaw bone density.

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, typically develop around the age of 17 or during the early twenties. The average mouth does not have enough room to house an extra set of molars, which is why dental experts recommend having them extracted. Some wisdom teeth are impacted, or trapped beneath the gums, and must be surgically removed to protect your other teeth. Partially impacted wisdom teeth easily trap bacteria, which can lead to infection and the formation of cysts or tumors. These molars also have large roots which can grow into the roots of other teeth or damage facial nerves.

By having wisdom teeth extracted, you can avoid all of these oral health issues. Most patients undergo this procedure when the wisdom teeth first make an appearance, because the procedure is easier when the teeth are not fully developed. However, you can have wisdom teeth extracted at any age. Dr. Karas, Dr. Williams, and the team at Muir Oral, Facial, & Dental Implant Surgery will explain every step of the wisdom tooth removal process beforehand so you know exactly what to expect.
