Exposure Of Impacted Teeth

An impacted tooth is simply a tooth that is stuck and unable to erupt into function. Patients frequently face problems with impacted wisdom teeth. When this occurs, the wisdom teeth are simply extracted. However, if one or more of your canine teeth becomes impacted, they will need to be exposed by your oral surgeon in order to move them into bite. Canine teeth are an essential part of your bite and smile, which is why every attempt to save them is taken, including exposing them.

Exposing and bracketing an impacted tooth is a very straightforward surgical procedure that is performed by an oral surgeon. For most patients, nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and a local anesthesia is used to make the surgery as pleasant as possible. Following the procedure, it’s essential to follow all of the aftercare instructions given by your oral surgeon in order to ensure a speedy recovery. If you have an impacted tooth, make sure to contact our experienced oral surgeons at Oral Facial Reconstruction and Implant Center to see if exposing them is right for you.

· Prior to your visit, we ask that you go to our website www.oralfacial.com. Click on the top right button, online forms, and fill out paperwork, print and bring to your visit so we may decrease wait-times.

· All patients will be carefully screened prior to their visit. We ask that you inform our schedulers of any symptoms and advise us if you have recently traveled locally or internationally via plane, cruise ship, or other forms of mass transportation.

· We ask that you bring a complete list of medications you are currently taking, as well as any allergies you may have.

· If you bring family members to your visit, please ask them to remain in the car as we are limiting the office to patients only.

· We will require all patients to wear facemasks, your temperature will be taken, and we will also require that patients sanitize their hands.

Please remember that we are taking these necessary precautions so we can continue to bring you the quality surgical care you’ve come to expect from our name. Together we will get through this, and we look forward to seeing you in the near future.
