Wisdom Teeth, Oral Surgery & Pathology, Dental Implants & Bone Grafting
Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth, often known as the third molars, often cause problems due to the inability for them to fully erupt and become functional teeth.
Subsequently they often cause a number of symptoms:
• Pain
• Recurrent infections, even causing hospitalistion
• Resorption of the second molars
• Decay / Caries (in both the wisdom teeth and the second molars)
Wisdom teeth are sometimes also removed in preparation or in association with other procedures eg orthognathic or corrective jaw surgery or alongside having braces
Oral Surgery & Pathology
Routine Extractions
• Unrestorable teeth – with or without dental implant placement
Canine Exposure or Extractions in combination with Orthodontics
Cysts, Tumours and Lesions of the jaws
Dental Implants & Bone Grafting
Osseo-integrated dental implants
• Now the gold standard way of replacing missing or unrestorable teeth
Sometimes, there isn’t enough available bone to immediately place the dental implants. Therefore, bone grafting may be required prior to, or at the time of surgery.
Dr Robertson has been placing dental implants since 2005. Please discuss with him what systems you would like to use.
