Dental Implants

Dental implants are lasting, stable tooth replacements that can be used to replace one missing tooth, several missing teeth or complete arches of teeth. The dental implant post, which is a screw made of titanium, is surgically placed in the jawbone at the site of the missing tooth. It replaces the missing tooth root and ensures that your dental restoration is stable. A period of healing is then often required to allow the bone to begin to bond with the biocompatible post.

Oral Pathology

If you have an oral disease or other dental problem, Dr. Edward Drescher can use oral pathology to identify the disease and develop an appropriate treatment plan. Oral pathology enables us to diagnose conditions and abnormalities earlier, which increases the likelihood of a successful treatment.

Impacted Canines

Your canine teeth are the second most common type of teeth to become impacted, or “stuck,” in your mouth. Our oral surgeon provide treatments to help your impacted canines erupt properly and prevent infections and other problems from developing.

Tooth Extractions

If your tooth is damaged, decayed or is causing harm to your other teeth or your oral health, our dentists may recommend that it be extracted. When we extract your tooth, we will do so as gently as possible and will work with you afterward to find an appropriate replacement. If your case is more complex, our oral surgeon may perform the extraction.

Common Issues Needing Tooth Extractions

  • Severe infection that has destroyed a significant portion of the tooth and supporting bone structure
  • Serious decay that has damaged a tooth beyond repair, making a successful restoration impossible
  • Crowding caused by too many teeth to properly fit in the mouth

Wisdom Teeth Removal

Your third molars, or wisdom teeth, are usually the last teeth to develop and erupt in your mouth. Because they are located at the back of the mouth, they often become impacted, or stuck, and cannot emerge properly. This leads to a variety of problems, including infection, crowding and changes to the alignment of your other teeth. Our oral surgeon, Dr. Edward Drescher, provides wisdom teeth removal to resolve this problem and restore your oral health.
