How your dentists in Frederick, Maryland can help you and your smile.

Oral surgery can eliminate painful conditions like decayed teeth, broken teeth, or teeth compromised by periodontal disease. It can also help make your smile easier to straighten if you are thinking about orthodontic treatment. Dr. Dave Verma and Dr. Arpana Verma at Frederick Dental Group in Frederick, Maryland offer a wide range of dental services including oral surgery to help you and your smile.

Oral surgery may be necessary if you:

• Have wisdom teeth; most people don’t have enough room for a third set of molars, the wisdom teeth. As a result, wisdom teeth often erupt out of position, or they don’t erupt at all. If they do erupt, they are often too far back for you to clean them effectively, resulting in tooth decay or periodontal problems.
• Are undergoing orthodontic treatment; it’s often easier and faster to straighten teeth if some teeth are removed. Teeth that erupt out of position are often removed to make way for other teeth to come down into proper alignment. Removing teeth for orthodontics often provides a better result.
• Have teeth that are so badly decayed or damaged that they can’t be restored with fillings, crowns, or root canal therapy; It’s often better to remove badly damaged or decayed teeth to improve the overall health and beauty of your smile.
• Have teeth that have lost too much bone due to periodontal disease; if you have teeth that are loose because you’ve lost too much supporting bone, it’s best to have the teeth removed and consider tooth replacement options, to give you a fully functioning bite. Dental appliances and dental implants can restore your ability to chew, which helps your digestion and overall health.
• Are getting dental implants; a dental implant screw is placed in your jaw during a simple in-office procedure. Over time, bone fuses with the dental implant and locks it in place. After the area has healed, a dental implant crown is placed on the dental implant screw and you have a new tooth.
