Wisdom Tooth Extraction

The third set of molars, more commonly known as “Wisdom Teeth”, tend to come in between the ages of 17-25 years old. The removal of one or more third molars is a relatively common procedure, performed on some 5 million patients every year. After a thorough examination and diagnostic tests, such as x-rays or a CT scan, you may be told that you should have your wisdom teeth surgically removed.

While there are many oral surgeons that pull teeth in the Unifour area, the doctors at Foothills Oral Surgery is next level. They provide a patient-first atmosphere, centered around you. Your appointment means no more worrying. We have built our reputation around making sure you are properly cared for, before, during and after your oral surgery appointment.

Dental Implants

Dental implants provide a long term solution for replacing missing teeth. More and more people are opting in for dental implants – and they have an overall success rate of 95%.

The use of dental implants has become a go-to option for bringing a patient back to great dental health. Implants are almost always the better option when deciding between implants and dentures. The added structural integrity provided by implants gives a much-needed sense of security to patients who might have suffered discomfort for years before. If you think you might be at a point where you need to go that extra step to feel better about your smile, schedule an appointment to discuss your options.

Tooth Extractions

Even with proper dental care, teeth age and can decay or break. Many damaged teeth can be repaired with fillings or crowns, but when the damage or decay is excessive, the tooth should be removed. Tooth extraction may not seem complicated, but tooth removal should only be performed by a professional – and in most cases, during a visit to an oral surgeon.

Common reasons for tooth removal include:

  • Impacted wisdom teeth
  • Severe decay
  • Broken or fractured teeth
