It is not uncommon for wisdom teeth to linger below the surface, wreaking havoc with the other teeth in the mouth even though they never fully make an appearance through the gum. The second most common impacted teeth are the front upper eye teeth, or maxillary canines. When this happens, your orthodontist will likely work with an oral and maxillofacial surgeon to use a combination of braces and surgery to bring the teeth into proper alignment with the rest of the teeth.

If you have thought about replacement options, you probably already know that a dental implant is considered to be the best replacement for missing teeth. Dental implant recipients have called them life-changing! But what if your dentist tells you dental implants are not an option because your jawbone cannot support an implant?

High-tech dentistry means you can be optimistic about more accurate treatment, and your doctor can make more reliable diagnoses, identify potential issues more accurately, and provide treatment with utmost confidence. Dr. Michael Burnham uses advanced digital technology to plan and place your implants. One of the tools we use is dental cone beam computed tomography (CT), a distinct type of x-ray that makes a 360-degree rotation around the patient.

But unfortunately, many people are unaware that they have it because it often comes along with no apparent signs or symptoms. The inside of a normal mouth has a smooth, pink appearance. If there are any anomalies, your dentist is likely the one who will notice first. It is recommended that patients get a biopsy immediately, and this is where Burnham Oral Surgery comes into the picture.
