If a tooth becomes impacted, every effort is made to help it erupt into its proper position in the dental arch. An orthodontist may treat problem teeth by placing braces to open spaces to allow for proper eruption of adult teeth.
Treatment may require a referral to one of our oral surgeons for extraction of over-retained baby teeth and/or select adult teeth that are blocking the eruption of another tooth.
At Crescent Oral Surgery, we’re here to ensure your smile’s brilliance and functionality. Trust our talented team and book your appointment today!
These procedures help guide unerupted or misaligned teeth, like cuspids or canines, into their proper place. Our skilled surgeons carefully expose the hidden tooth with a small incision and attach a bracket. This bracket is then connected to your braces, allowing your orthodontist to gently guide the tooth into its correct position.
The inside of your mouth should be smooth and coral pink, but any changes in its appearance could be a warning sign for a pathological process, including oral cancer. Stay vigilant and look out for
these signs:
● Reddish patches (erythroplasia) or whitish patches (leukoplakia) in the mouth.
● Sores that fail to heal and bleed easily.
● Lumps or thickening on the skin lining the mouth.
● Chronic sore throat or hoarseness.
● Difficulty in chewing or swallowing.
These changes may appear on the lips, cheeks, palate, gum tissue around the teeth, tongue, face, and neck. Remember, pain isn’t always associated with oral cancer. It’s essential to perform a monthly oral cancer self-examination and pay attention to any suspicious lumps or sores.
Your mouth is one of your body’s vital warning systems. If you have any oral health concerns, don’t hesitate to contact us.
Your health is our priority.
TMJ Disorder can cause a host of painful symptoms as your compromised jaw muscles work extra hard to function. But worry not! At Crescent Oral Surgery, our skilled oral surgeons offer various treatment options to bring you relief.
For Pain Relief, anti-inflammatory or muscle relaxant may help to relieve symptoms and help with the function of the TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint). In some cases, steroids can be injected directly into the joints to reduce pain and inflammation. Further, TMJ orthotic appliance, night guards, nerve blocks, iontophoresis and Botox can be further added to the pain management protocol.
Stress Management techniques such as biofeedback or physical therapy may be recommended. Self-care treatments can often be effective and include resting the jaw, applying heat, practicing good posture and more.
Surgery or restorative dental work may help correct the issue if your condition is severe.
Has your TMJ Disorder caused problems with how your teeth fit together? Contact us today to find out how we can help you regain comfort and functionality. Your healthy, pain-free smile awaits!
After your surgery, following post-operative instructions is important to achieve a successful outcome and reduce the chances of complications during recovery. Here are the standard post-operative instructions for patients who have undergone the TMJ arthroscopy procedure.
Your surgeon will need to reexamine you 7-10 days after routine TMJ arthroscopy. Please call the office to schedule a follow-up appointment.
Obstructive sleep apnea is a serious condition that requires careful attention and personalized treatment. Our oral surgeons at Crescent Oral Surgery may discuss several treatment options, including a CPAP machine, or in more complex cases, surgery at one of
our offices.
CPAP Machine: A nasal CPAP (Continuous Positive Air Pressure) machine delivers pressurized oxygen through a comfortable nasal mask, reducing obstructions as you sleep. It’s efficient and easy to use, ensuring a steady flow of air to keep your airway open.
Surgery: In rare cases where other treatments are ineffective, surgical options can be considered. Procedures like Uvulo-palato-pharyngo-plasty (UPPP) or laser-assisted uvulo-palato-plasty (LAUPP) address obstructions in the soft palate and throat. Radio frequency probe treatment can also tighten the soft palate. For complex cases, orthognathic surgery repositions the upper and lower jaw to enlarge the airway.
Our skilled surgeons can assess your needs and provide personalized care. Book a consultation today and say goodbye to sleepless nights and hello to restful slumber!
