The gums help hold teeth in position while also protecting their roots from damage and infection. Receding gum lines can expose the roots of teeth, causing extreme sensitivity and health risks. If you have weakened or receding gums, our dental professionals may recommend gum grafting to reinforce the affected area. A gum graft procedure transfers healthy tissue from one area of the mouth to receding or weakened tissue in another area.

Dental x-rays are a vital part of maintaining oral health. We use x-rays to monitor the parts of your mouth and teeth that aren’t visible in a routine exam. Using dental x-rays, we can examine the tooth roots and jaw structure and watch for other problems such as impacted wisdom teeth or other developmental issues. Various types of x-rays will be taken during routine oral exams and all new patient exams—ask our experienced team if you have questions or concerns about dental x-rays.

Modern dentistry has made tooth restorations more beautiful, effective, and durable than ever before, but despite this, it’s always ideal to retain the natural teeth. Only when there are no other options available will we recommend teeth extraction. We might suggest an extraction when a tooth is damaged beyond repair or has been partially dislodged and we unable to safely reattach the roots. In cases like those, we will explain the reason for extraction, the process, and your options for restoration afterward.
