Root Amputation and Hemisection

A root amputation requires the surgical removal of one root if a tooth is multi-rooted. If one or more tooth roots become infected or there is significant bone loss around the tooth hemisection is done. During the procedure half of the tooth is removed leaving a serviceable one-rooted tooth.

Wisdom Teeth Removal

If a wisdom tooth has grown into the wrong place and is causing problems such as pain, difficulty in cleaning, improper eruption or impaction the tooth may need to be surgically removed. This may involve making an incision into the gums to gain better access to remove the tooth.

Tooth Extraction

If a tooth is damaged beyond repair and cannot be saved by any other dental treatment it may need to be extracted. Teeth may also need to be extracted prior to orthodontic treatment in order create space to straighten teeth.

Sleep Apnea Surgery

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) occurs when the tissues in the back of throat fall back and block airway during sleep. Sometimes OSA is successfully treated with conservative methods, such as oral appliance therapy or using a CPAP machine. However, severe cases may require surgical intervention.
