Tooth Extractions

dentist reviewing x-raysTooth extractions can be necessary in case of emergency, or as a preventive measure to protect against further damage. Dr. Game provides tooth extractions for patients who are experiencing pain, have had an oral injury, or have an infected tooth damaged beyond repair.

Preventive tooth extractions are most often performed in the case of wisdom teeth removal. With every patient, Dr. Game performs a complete dental exam and series of digital x-rays to determine the best route of treatment, whether it be a simple or surgical extraction!

Wisdom Teeth Removal

Having your wisdom teeth removed before they erupt helps preserve your healthy teeth and can save you from more expensive, extensive dental work in the future — it's important to have them removed if your dentist recommends it!

Wisdom teeth are also referred to as the third set of molars, and typically come in between the ages of 16 and 21. Because they emerge much later in life than our other permanent teeth, these third molars can cause major problems when they grow in. There typically isn't enough room left for wisdom teeth to come in safely — meaning they can grow into your other molars and cause cracking, fracturing, or crowding.

Avoid the potential damage to your smile and schedule a wisdom teeth consultation with Dr. Game. During your appointment, Dr. Game will take digital x-rays to locate your wisdom teeth and discuss a personalized treatment plan for removal. Our advanced dental technologies will help Dr. Game determine when it's safest for you to have your wisdom teeth removed and make the process as seamless as possible!

Laser Gingival Teeth Recontouring

If uneven gums or excessive gum tissue are changing the appearance of your teeth and keeping you from your best, most balanced smile, laser gingival recontouring could be the right treatment for you. This laser gum reshaping treatment is used to remove excess gum tissue and sculpt an even gum line, helping you achieve a perfectly proportionate smile. Laser recontouring treatments are less invasive, less painful, and more time-efficient compared to traditional gum reshaping.

Bone Grafting

Damage to the jaw bone can make it impossible to support a dental implant without additional, targeted treatments. If you've experienced damage to the jaw bone or the effects of periodontal disease, Dr. Game may recommend bone graft surgery, or natural bone regeneration. This procedure promotes regeneration and bone growth in the jaw, helping the jaw to regain the strength necessary to support your dental implant.

Sinus Lift

Sinus lift surgery, also referred to as maxillary sinus elevation, allows greater stability for dental implants. In this procedure, Dr. Game will use a bone graft to provide additional support for patients who do not have enough bone height to support a dental implant, or whose sinuses are too close or too large to support an implant.

Frenectomy

A frenectomy is performed when a thin muscular attachment within the mouth, called a frenum, inhibits normal oral function. There are two frenums in the mouth, one under the tongue and one near the top row of teeth. When either one affects tongue function or tooth placement, a frenectomy may be recommended. This simple, quick procedure will shorten the frenum and restore normal functioning of the tongue — making way for normal speech, swallowing, and eating.

Small Biopsy
