"The shortest distance between two people is a smile."

Impacted Teeth

Impactions are caused by improper positioning of a developing tooth bud, preventing a tooth from erupting into your mouth. An impaction also may be caused by crowded teeth or the loss of primary teeth during childhood.

Impaction can:

  • Cause damage to the root structure of your adjacent teeth
  • Leave unattractive spaces
  • Interfere with your sinus cavity
  • Create problems related to teeth function
  • Cause premature wear to the teeth
  • Move teeth out of symmetrical alignment
  • Create a less-attractive smile

IMPACTED TOOTH CORRECTION

Correcting an impacted tooth may require minor surgery that will allow the tooth to be guided into its proper position.

 

Missing Teeth

Missing teeth can be caused by trauma or inadequate development. This condition can: 

  • Cause your teeth to function improperly
  • Lead to premature wear of your teeth
  • Create improper functioning of your teeth
  • Move your teeth out of symmetrical alignment
  • Create a less-attractive smile

MISSING TEETH CORRECTION

Optimally, a space created by a missing tooth can be closed with braces or opened to allow tooth replacement. Dental implants or bridges are other treatment options.
