Wisdom teeth erupt later in life, and their arrival is not something we tend to celebrate. As they move into position, they can create several issues for neighboring teeth. Those problems can include issues with pressure on neighboring teeth, damage to their enamel, and even problems with spacing. As
your wisdom teeth—also known as third molars—meet resistance due to a lack of space, they can become impacted, leading to a more difficult removal. Fortunately, the problem can be addressed before complications occur.
At our Richmond, VA dentist's office, we help patients who need their third molars extracted. When necessary, we can provide oral surgery to ensure that teeth are properly accessed and removed before they create difficulties for you.
There are serious consequences to tooth loss—many can be apparent to you the moment you lose a tooth, but some grow more alarming over time. The changes to your smile and bite function can be immediate, but as you spend more time without addressing the issue, you become more vulnerable to the losses of more teeth as well as jawbone density loss! Fortunately, these are issues that you protect yourself against with an implant-held restoration. Our Midlothian, VA treatment office and our other locations are prepared to provide the restoration of your smile with a secured prosthesis.
