Tooth Exposure Surgery
Welcome to PerioWorks - Your Solution for Impacted Teeth
At PerioWorks, we understand that impacted teeth, such as canines, can cause discomfort and disrupt your dental health. Our skilled periodontists, Dr. Saqqal and Dr. Katmeh, are here to provide expert care and personalized solutions with tooth exposure procedures right here in Alexandria, VA.
What is Tooth Exposure?
When a tooth is "impacted," it means it has not fully erupted into its intended position in the mouth. This issue is most commonly associated with wisdom teeth but can also affect other prominent teeth like canines (or “eye teeth”), which play a vital role in your bite, aesthetics, and chewing function.
Our tooth exposure procedure lifts the gums strategically to reveal the impacted tooth. Once exposed, orthodontic brackets and advanced techniques, such as wire or chain guidance, are used to help align the tooth properly.
Whether you have a family member or are personally experiencing impacted tooth issues, our advanced approach ensures successful treatment outcomes while prioritizing your comfort and long-term oral health.
