Should you postpone your wisdom teeth removal? Having your wisdom teeth removed as a teen has several advantages:

- Easier Recovery: Younger individuals often experience a smoother and quicker recovery from wisdom teeth extraction compared to adults. The jawbone is less dense, and the roots of the teeth may not be fully formed, making the extraction process less complicated.
- Prevention of Complications: Removing wisdom teeth early can help prevent potential complications such as impaction, crowding, or damage to adjacent teeth. It reduces the risk of infection or cyst formation around the impacted wisdom teeth.
- Orthodontic Considerations: Wisdom teeth can exert pressure on surrounding teeth, leading to misalignment. Removing them can help preserve the results of orthodontic treatments and maintain proper teeth alignment.
- Reduced Discomfort: Wisdom teeth can cause pain, swelling, and discomfort, especially if they are impacted or growing in at an awkward angle. Early removal can alleviate these symptoms and prevent further dental issues.

In short, having your wisdom teeth removed as soon as they emerge is the way to go! Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions you have.

Letโ€™s talk about osseointegration, one of the most important processes involved in dental implant surgery treatment. After the initial dental implant is placed, the jawbone heals around the implant, securing it firmly in place. This happens over several weeks to months and is called osseointegration. This process is crucial for the stability and success of the dental implant. Choosing a qualified and experienced oral surgeon to perform your implant placement increases the likelihood of precise placement and successful osseointegration!

How does bone grafting work? A bone graft helps rebuild and regenerate the lost bone in your jaw, creating a stable foundation for the implant. Bone grafting procedures typically involve placing bone graft material, which can be sourced from your own body, a donor, or synthetic materials, into the deficient area. Over time, the graft material integrates with the existing bone, promoting regeneration and providing a stable foundation for successful dental implant placement. ๐Ÿฆท

What makes our team at North Alabama Oral & Facial Surgery oral surgery experts? After completing dental school, oral and maxillofacial surgeons undergo a rigorous four to six additional years of surgical training in a hospital-based residency program. This makes an oral surgeon the true surgical specialist of the dental field. While some dentists can perform minor oral surgeries, they are not oral surgeons. Only oral and maxillofacial surgeons are able to perform advanced surgeries that can encompass the entire maxillofacial region.

When you visit North Alabama Oral & Facial Surgery for a dental implant consultation, our doctors will first evaluate if you have sufficient bone volume in the jaw to support the placement of dental implants. In cases where the bone is insufficient, bone grafting may be recommended to enhance the volume and quality of the bone, providing a more favorable environment for osseointegration (the process where the dental implant fuses with the jawbone). Donโ€™t worry - our expert team will carefully walk you through all the steps of treatment and answer any questions you may have!

Sometimes, a person may need a bone graft before dental implant surgery is possible. Some factors that can cause inadequate bone volume are tooth loss, periodontal disease, trauma, or congenital conditions.
