Bone Graft
Sometimes, your dentist might recommend a bone graft before you can be eligible for a different dental surgery. This can happen when patients come in for a dental implant and we find there is insufficient bone mass in the jaw to accommodate one.
This is usually the result of infection or trauma that has caused the bone to resorb or recede. In this case, a bone graft dental surgery is recommended to help restore bone density in a given area.
This procedure takes bone tissue from a different area of the jaw and applies it to the weakened area, creating a stable and strong environment for a dental implant. Bone graft surgeries are always performed with the mouth’s total health in mind, so every contingent part will be able to function optimally.
The Gum Graft
Sometimes aggressive brushing, teeth grinding, periodontal disease, or just the natural positions of the teeth can lead to receding gums. Gum recession exposes sensitive nerve tissues beneath the teeth that can cause intense pain when stimulated by extreme temperatures. Luckily, there is a new solution to address receding gums: the gum graft.
The gum graft, also known as the periodontal graft, utilizes state-of-the-art laser technology to ensure minimal pain, faster healing times. and greater surgical accuracy. Gum graft surgery restores your gum line to its proper height, covering the nerves and protecting your teeth from decay while minimizing and even eliminating heightened sensitivities.
Future of Dentistry offers gum graft laser surgery at out Billerica office, a short drive from Chelmsford. For more information on our gum graft laser technology, call Future of Dentistry in Billerica at (978) 663-4303 to schedule a consultation today.
Tooth Extractions
Tooth extractions may be necessary to address various dental issues, such as extensive decay, infection, overcrowding, or trauma. Wisdom teeth removal is another common procedure, often done to prevent complications like misalignment or discomfort.
Our experienced team takes every measure to ensure your extraction is stress-free, providing a comfortable office environment and personalized care tailored to your needs. We carefully remove the affected tooth while preserving surrounding tissue and promoting optimal healing.
Following your extraction, we provide clear aftercare instructions and discuss tooth replacement options, such as implants or bridges, to restore your smile’s appearance and functionality. With our expertise and compassionate care, a tooth extraction can improve your oral health and renew your confidence in your smile.
Dental Implants
If you are missing one or more teeth, dental implants offer a durable, natural-looking solution to restore your smile and oral function. Dental implants are designed to mimic the structure of natural teeth, consisting of a titanium post that acts as an artificial tooth root and a custom-made crown that seamlessly blends with your existing teeth.
Dental implants provide a permanent solution for tooth loss, preventing issues such as bone loss, shifting teeth, and difficulties with chewing or speaking. Unlike other tooth replacement options, implants integrate with your jawbone, promoting long-term oral health and stability.
At our Billerica office, just a short drive from Chelmsford, we offer start-to-finish implants to make your treatment convenient. Our dentists will carefully evaluate your oral health to ensure you are a good candidate for implants and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Dental implant surgery is performed in-office and typically takes a few hours. Most patients find the procedure straightforward with a manageable recovery time. Once your implant has fully integrated with the bone, we’ll place a natural-looking crown to complete your smile.
