With our experienced team and state-of-the-art technology, we provide precise, comfortable, and effective solutions tailored to each patient’s needs.
Dental Implants: The Gold Standard for Tooth Replacement
Dental implants are an advanced, permanent solution for replacing missing teeth. Designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth, implants restore not only your smile but also your confidence. Our implant procedures involve a secure titanium post that fuses with the jawbone, providing a stable foundation for the replacement tooth.
Procedure: The process begins with placing a titanium implant into the jawbone, which then bonds with the bone through a process called osseointegration. Once the implant is secure, an abutment and custom-made crown are attached, completing the tooth replacement.
Benefits:
- Natural Look and Feel: Implants are designed to match your existing teeth, both in appearance and functionality.
- Longevity and Durability: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, offering a long-term solution to missing teeth.
- Preserves Bone Health: Implants stimulate the jawbone, helping to prevent bone loss that typically occurs with missing teeth.
Tooth Extractions: Safe and Comfortable Removal for Healthier Smiles
Tooth extractions are sometimes necessary to protect the health of surrounding teeth and prevent further complications. Whether due to severe decay, damage, or crowding, our team performs extractions with precision and care, ensuring minimal discomfort and a smooth recovery process.
Reasons for Extraction:
- Severe Decay or Infection: When a tooth is too damaged to save with a filling or root canal, extraction may be the best option.
- Overcrowding: For patients preparing for orthodontic treatment, extracting one or more teeth can create the necessary space for proper alignment.
- Gum Disease: Advanced gum disease can weaken the bone and tissue supporting teeth, sometimes making extraction necessary.
Procedure: We start with a thorough examination and imaging to assess the tooth’s condition. For simple extractions, we carefully remove the tooth with minimal impact to surrounding tissue. For more complex cases, such as impacted teeth, a surgical approach may be used.
Aftercare and Recovery
Post-extraction, we provide detailed aftercare instructions, including how to manage any discomfort, foods to avoid, and steps to promote healing. Our focus is on a smooth recovery that minimizes downtime and discomfort.
Wisdom Tooth Removal: Preventing Future Complications
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last set of teeth to develop, often causing issues when they don’t have enough space to emerge properly. Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to pain, infection, and alignment problems. At DDAC, we offer wisdom tooth removal services to prevent these complications and protect your overall oral health.
Reasons for Wisdom Tooth Removal:
- Impacted Teeth: When wisdom teeth are unable to fully emerge, they can become trapped under the gum, potentially causing pain, swelling, and infection.
- Crowding and Alignment: Wisdom teeth can push against surrounding teeth, causing misalignment or shifting.
- Preventative Care: Even asymptomatic wisdom teeth are often removed to avoid future issues as they are challenging to clean and prone to decay.
Procedure: Wisdom tooth extraction typically involves a surgical approach, especially if the teeth are impacted. We begin with a comprehensive X-ray to understand the position and orientation of the teeth. Using advanced techniques, we carefully remove the teeth while minimizing impact to surrounding tissue.
Aftercare and Healing
Our team provides a detailed aftercare plan, including how to manage swelling and discomfort, dietary recommendations, and tips for maintaining oral hygiene. We’ll guide you through the recovery process to ensure you heal comfortably and without complications.
