When a tooth fails to fully erupt from the gum tissue, it is obvious as an impacted or unerupted tooth. Exposure surgery involves removal of gum tissue and overlying bone, to expose the impacted tooth underneath. With the space created we can then join an orthodontic appliance to help the impacted tooth erupt. The final step is orthodontic treatment to slowly move the exposed tooth into its proper position. We then make a small incision which will release the tongue from the floor of the mouth. Dental implants, while a popular treatment for many people, are unsuitable for some patients due to lacking bone structure for support. Years of living with missing teeth, suffering from periodontitis, or other diseases can lead to the deterioration of the bone which usually supports dentures or dental implants.

Depending on the condition and amount of your existing remaining jawbone, it is possible to implant immediately during a sinus lift surgery, or to place the implants some time after your bone augmentation procedure. Depending on the bone substitute material used, your newly grown jaw bone should be safe and capable to provide urge within 48 months, making an implantation plausible again. Wisdom teeth will disagree for every patient, with some people having all four wisdom teeth, and some people none at all.
