Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to erupt within the mouth. When they align properly and gum tissue is healthy, wisdom teeth do not have to be removed. Unfortunately, this does not generally happen. Wisdom teeth removal is necessary when they are prevented from properly erupting within the mouth. They may grow sideways, partially emerge from the gum, and even remain trapped beneath the gum and bone.
Impacted teeth can take many positions in the bone as they attempt to find a pathway that will allow them to successfully erupt. The implants themselves are tiny titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. These metal anchors act as tooth root substitutes. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth.

Report
We are pleased to offer our patients the latest imaging technology in dentistry in our office. Cone beam computed tomography (CT) is a type of x-ray machine used in situations where regular dental or facial x-rays are not sufficient. This CT scanner is able to generate three dimensional (3-D) images of dental structures, nerve paths and bone in the craniofacial region in a single scan.

Your initial appointment with Dr. Sedaros, oral surgeon in Melbourne FL, will consist of a consultation explaining your diagnosis and treatment options. Occasionally, surgery can be performed the same day as the consultation. However, a complex medical history or treatment plan will require an evaluation and a second appointment to provide treatment on another day.
