Impacted Tooth Exposure

Impacted canines typically occur during childhood and adolescence when teeth are developing, often necessitating specialized care. While impacted teeth can be concerning, early intervention is key to ensuring they don’t lead to more serious oral health issues.

 

 

What Are Impacted Canines?

Impacted teeth lurk beneath your gums, causing discomfort and misalignment. But fear not! Our top-notch team is here to help you or your teen regain that confident smile. If you or your orthodontist suspect impacted canines, seeking expert evaluation promptly is crucial.

Typically, our collaborative approach involves working closely with your orthodontist to plan and execute a personalized treatment. By addressing the issue early, you not only ensure smoother care but also minimize the risk of extensive and costly procedures later.

 

Impacted Canines Exposure Procedure

The procedure typically involves an oral surgeon gently exposing the impacted tooth by removing gum tissue and bone, followed by your orthodontist attaching a small bracket to guide it into its proper position.

This collaborative approach ensures that impacted canines can indeed be corrected, offering a chance for these vital teeth to align correctly and contribute to a healthier, more confident smile. If left untreated, impacted canines can lead to misalignment, discomfort, and potential damage to surrounding teeth and nerves.

 

What To Expect After Impacted Canine Treatment

After undergoing impacted canine treatment, it’s natural to wonder about the recovery process. While the specific duration may vary from person to person, most individuals can expect a relatively smooth recovery period that typically lasts a few days to a couple of weeks.

Initially, you may experience some mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising around the treated area. Pain management and proper oral care will be essential during this time. As your body heals, you should gradually regain full functionality and comfort in your mouth.

Our dedicated team will provide you with detailed post-operative instructions to ensure a speedy and comfortable recovery. Remember that every patient’s recovery is unique, but rest assured, we’re here to support you at every step of the way.

What our Patients Say About Us

I have been dealing with ongoing off and on problems with my mandible since 2015. Dr. Vega is the one who saved my life, debrided it correctly, put me on IV ABT, wired my jaw so it wouldn’t break and placed 2 successful implants all with genuine care, great bedside manner and professionalism. I had to return to him d/t another unfortunate event and he has stuck with me through thick and thin. He is an excellent physician, he does everything he can to set you up for success, but sometimes it’s our bodies that don’t cooperate. I highly recommend him!
