| My Dentist Has Scheduled Me For a Tooth Extraction, What Does it Mean For Me? |
If you are booked for a tooth extraction, don't panic, at least the oral surgeon or dentist has seen that there is a need to get your tooth extracted. Maybe you have a badly decayed, injured, or infected dental pulp, or the tooth is severely fractured or broken. It could also be that you have an impacted tooth that may contribute to problems later on.
A dentist is the best-placed person to know whether you should get the tooth removed or not. But an extraction appointment shouldn't send you fretting about the experience. Nowadays tooth extractions are performed under anesthesia, so you will be numbed during the procedure. No pain. Perhaps only mild discomfort after the removal, but medication takes care of that.
In fact, a tooth extraction procedure is pretty simple, especially if it does not require surgery. And even extractions requiring making incisions aren't painful at all. It is paramount you talk with the oral surgery team so that they understand your needs. If you are having anxiety about having your tooth pulled, let us know about it.
Many people fear seeing a dentist, so you are not alone, and it's understandable. Dental anxiety is a common phobia. An oral surgeon can help you on how to overcome any fears you have.
Talk to our oral surgeon about your feelings regarding tooth removal and we will help you.

| Are Dental Implants the Best Solution for My Missing Teeth?
|
Dental implants have become increasingly popular as an alternative to traditional methods of restoring missing teeth due to their stability and ability to blend seamlessly with your natural smile. But how do you know if they are the right solution for you? The best way to know this is to visit our oral surgeon. We will examine your mouth to determine if dental implants are suitable for replacing your missing teeth.
You should know that many factors determine whether you can get dental implants or not. The most common one is your jawbone mass. If your jawbone mass is lacking, you may not receive this treatment unless other procedures are done to improve your jawbone mass first. But assuming you have passed all of the requirements, the oral surgeon will use a titanium rod and finally place caps to restore the functionality of your teeth.
You can always call our oral surgeon to learn more about dental implant procedures.

| What to Expect During a Blepharoplasty |
A blepharoplasty can be performed on the upper eyelids, the lower eyelids, or both. An initial consultation is necessary to examine your face, the extent of your sagging, your facial muscle structure, your bone structure, and symmetry. This allows us to determine if the procedure is the right solution for you.
Before your procedure begins, a local anesthetic is provided to numb the treatment areas. Markings are made to designate where areas of excess skin, fat, and muscle should be removed. Next, incisions are made, and the tissues are removed. Sutures are then placed to reconfigure the skin.
There are many benefits to a blepharoplasty. These include: lifting your sagging eyelids helps to improve the shape and appearance of your eyes, leaving you with a refreshed look; eliminating bags under your eyes; reducing fine lines around your eyes; greater self-confidence; improved vision; reduced pain; and improving your facial aesthetics.
