Oral surgeon San Jose
If you need to have a tooth extracted, or are experiencing problems with your wisdom teeth, you can find the dental help that you need at our dental practice, Santa Teresa Family Dental. Our
oral surgeon San Jose, Dr. Gauri Madaan, can provide complete dental care, including oral surgery options for wisdom teeth.
At our dental practice, our oral surgeon San Jose provides complete general dental care, including restorative dental care, cosmetic dental services, and periodontal services for your gums. She also offers tooth extractions when necessary. Wisdom teeth are the last set of teeth to emerge in the mouth, and for this reason they often develop problems when trying to erupt due to lack of space. This lack of space makes wisdom teeth likely to develop serious and painful problems for the patient. Sometimes wisdom teeth will try to push other permanent teeth out of position. This can be a particular problem if you have already spent lots of time and money having your smile perfected with orthodontic care. Sometimes wisdom teeth will begin to erupt, and then will simply stop. This leaves a space between the tooth and the gums where bacteria can develop; this makes it extremely likely that infection will occur in your mouth. Wisdom teeth can also become impacted beneath the gums or jawbone. Wisdom teeth can become extremely painful and can also cause structural damage to the jaw as well as to other teeth. For all these reasons, it is important that impacted teeth are removed so that larger problems do not develop. Our dentist can see if problems with wisdom teeth are developing by taking x-rays and by checking their progress during your dental exams. If you need to have your wisdom teeth extracted, this can be done at our office while you remain perfectly comfortable due to our use of modern dental anesthesia.
