Atlanta Orthodontic Exposure

When you need an expert oral surgeon for an Atlanta orthodontic exposure, call Mountain View Oral Surgery and Dental Implants.  In most cases, when primary teeth (baby teeth) are lost they are replaced by adult (secondary) teeth. Occasionally an adult tooth has insufficient room to erupt into the mouth or forms at an angle that does not allow it to erupt properly. When this occurs, the tooth becomes impacted.

When wisdom teeth become impacted, wisdom teeth extraction is performed. However, sometimes teeth that are important to normal chewing function such as the upper canine (eye) teeth can become impacted. To secure the function and esthetic appearance of these important teeth, Dr. Worley can surgically expose the teeth. This will enable your orthodontist to slowly guide them into position.

Marietta Impacted Tooth Surgeons

Dr. Worley is one of the leading Marietta impacted tooth surgeons who performs orthodontic exposure procedures in his office at Mountain View Oral Surgery and Dental Implants. During this procedure, the gum tissue that is covering the impacted tooth will be lifted up to expose the hidden tooth underneath. If there is a baby tooth present, it will be removed at the same time.

Once the tooth is exposed, an orthodontic bracket will be bonded to the exposed tooth's crown. From there, an orthodontist can begin the process of moving the tooth into its proper place. This process may take up to a full year to complete. The goal is a strong and healthy tooth that will last for a lifetime of chewing and tooth brushing.
