Do you think you need oral surgery but aren’t quite sure what your options are? Clinton Dental Center provides quality oral surgery in Michigan for patients of all ages. Whether you need a simple tooth extraction or a complete smile makeover, we have the tools and expertise to assist you. In this discussion, we will go over some signs you may need oral surgery so you can get help when you need it most.
Chronic Oral Pain
If you feel consistent pain when you chew, smile, talk, or do anything else with your teeth, you may need oral surgery. Pain can come from a number of sources – enamel erosion, infection, chips, cracks, etc. One of the biggest sources of chronic oral pain is overcrowding. In this case, you may need to have some teeth extracted through oral surgery to take pressure off other teeth in your mouth. No matter what the circumstances may be, you should talk to your family dentist in Michigan about your pain so he or she can find the source of it.
Missing Or Broken Teeth
Missing teeth and broken teeth are also signs that you may need oral surgery. Some breaks can be repaired through dental bonding and other cosmetic dentistry services, but most require complete removal of the tooth. You can get a color-matched tooth replacement to fill in the hole left by the missing or extracted tooth, and then you can have the beautiful smile you’ve always wanted. There are many types of oral surgery for missing teeth, and your oral surgeon can go over which one would be the best option for you.
Involuntary Teeth Grinding
In some situations, teeth grinding is the result of excess enamel on certain teeth in your mouth. Those teeth connect with other teeth before the other ones do, when they should all connect at the same time. An oral surgeon can shave off that small amount of excess enamel to align your teeth and improve your bite. There are other possible causes of teeth grinding, such as stress and sleeping disorders. Your dentist can help you decide if oral surgery is right for you.
Wisdom Teeth
Not all wisdom teeth have to be extracted, but a lot of them do. That is because wisdom teeth are prone to infections, and they can cause overcrowding in your mouth. If you need wisdom teeth removal, the team here at Clinton Dental Center would be more than happy to assist you. Call us today at [phone_formatted] to schedule your free consultation.
