Dental Examination
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that patients receive a panoramic X-ray and dental examination when they turn seven. This is the common age that canine teeth erupt into the mouth. By checking earlier, dentists can determine whether the tooth may be impacted in the future, if not already. When this problem is caught early, the patient can be referred to an oral and maxillofacial surgeon who can place braces and brackets to direct proper growth of the canine. This can help minimize future complications.

X-rays

Fillings
Veneers
Because each patient’s treatment plan is unique, the cost of treatment varies greatly. If finances are an issue, consider a phased treatment plan or financing. Some patient financing companies offer low- and no-interest loans for qualified applicants. You can use dental insurance and health savings accounts to help with full mouth reconstruction costs. If finances are an issue, be sure to tell your surgeon and dentist. The doctor may have the option to use dental materials and procedures that can make your treatment more affordable. Of course, less esthetic materials (metal instead of natural looking) and alternate materials (bonding instead of veneers) come with some concessions. Discuss the pros and cons of various dental materials and treatment options with your doctor before undergoing treatment.
Crowns
When teeth are impacted, decaying, or broken, they cause discomfort. Dentists may try to fix the issue with a crown or other alternatives. However, if the damage is too severe or potentially hurting surrounding teeth, it may be best to remove the decaying tooth. This is called an extraction.
Bridges
Dental Bonding
The longevity of treatment results will depend greatly upon your oral health, overall health, oral hygiene, and compliance with doctor’s instructions. Dental materials are also a factor. Porcelain veneers, for instance, may last two decades or more; dental bonding to correct the same issue may only last five to ten years.

Root Canal Treatment
Some, not all, dentists employ lasers for minimally invasive dental and periodontal procedures. A soft tissue laser can treat periodontitis, reduce gum tissue for cosmetic purposes, and perform biopsies. Hard tissue lasers can prepare teeth for restorations, clean a tooth’s root canal, and trim bone tissue. Patients tend to heal promptly following

Deep Cleaning
Gingivitis, and few symptoms are expressed. In fact, some patients with gingivitis experience no symptoms. Treating gingivitis may simply involve changing your oral homecare routine and using special mouthwash. However, a deep cleaning may also be suggested if gingivitis has progressed.

Dentures
Missing teeth affect your smile and health in many ways, but dentures are often uncomfortable and can shift at embarrassing moments.

Dental Implants
Teeth in a Day can immediately replace loose, broken, or missing teeth with an implant-supported restoration that looks natural and stays put.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
While recovering from oral surgery, it is important to carefully follow any post-operative instructions from your dentist. These directions can help speed healing and minimize the risk of complications, such as infection or dry socket. There are some general instructions that apply to most oral surgery procedures. Your doctor will likely provide you with specific oral surgery aftercare instructions before your procedure to help you prepare for the recovery process.
Jaw Surgery
Corrective jaw surgery can have a dramatic & positive effect on many aspects of your life by creating a more harmonious bite and appearance.
Pre-prosthetic Surgery
For an implant-supported restoration, you must have enough jawbone tissue to support dental implants. A bone graft can restore lost tissue if you have experienced jawbone recession. Even for a traditional restoration, your doctor may recommend pre-prosthetic surgery to prevent issues and make your restoration fit more comfortably.
Maxillofacial Surgery
Dr. Michael Backer grew up in Chesterfield, MO and graduated from DeSmet Jesuit High School. He earned his Bachelor’s Degree from Purdue University. He then completed his Master’s Degree in Medical Physics from the University of Missouri-Columbia. Dr. Backer earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree from Midwestern University in 2012, and then completed his 4 year residency in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery from the University of Tennessee in Memphis. While in school, Dr. Backer was a board member for the American Student Dental Association. He is also currently an associate professor at A.T. Still University Missouri School of Dentistry and Oral Health.
Tooth Extractions
At Midwest, we provide state-of-the-art wisdom tooth extraction to protect the health of your smile. Our team of skilled oral surgeons can perform both simple and complex extractions, including the removal of impacted wisdom teeth.
Ridge Augmentation
If you are a good candidate for ridge augmentation, your doctor can begin designing your treatment plan. X-rays and digital imaging can reveal areas of bone degeneration and help your doctor determine the shape and size of your graft. Additionally, your doctor can ascertain the most suitable grafting material.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting is a surgery where the missing bone is replaced to allow for effective dental implants. With our advanced oral technology and procedures, we can even promote new bone growth in that location for optimal results.

Orthodontics
Many plans have a cap on how much money they will pay for any given treatment during the year. Anything over that amount becomes your responsibility. For example, if your plan has a annual maximum of $2,000 and your dental expenses exceed $3,000, you have to pay the additional $1,000. In some cases, you can raise your annual maximum to better suit your needs. There is usually a separate lifetime maximum for orthodontics.
Invisalign Orthodontics
Some patients with jaw misalignments decide against surgery. If your jaw is only slightly out of alignment, your orthodontist may be able to realign your teeth and bite with braces or Invisalign®.
Braces
Just because there is room for the eyetooth to move, does not mean that it will automatically do so. If the impacted canine does not naturally fill the space between the incisor and premolars, additional measures will need to be taken. Normally, an orthodontist and oral surgeon work together to create solutions for the impacted canine. Usually, braces will be placed on the cuspids to help them into their rightful arc. If there is no space for the impacted canine to move into, the orthodontist will use braces to create space.
