Dental Examination
The third set of molars, also known as “wisdom teeth,” begin to appear in most people between the ages of 17 and 25. The emergence of these teeth, on the other hand, is frequently fraught with complications. The extraction (removal) of one or more third molars is a rather common treatment, with around 5 million people undergoing the procedure each year. You may be advised to have your wisdom teeth pulled after a comprehensive examination and diagnostic testing such as x-rays or a CT scan. Here are a few common reasons...

X-rays
Oral Cancer Screening
Would you take a simple test that could give you an early indication of whether you’re likely to develop this disease? There is, in fact, good news! This test can genuinely save lives because early detection has been demonstrated to enhance the survival probability of oral cancer to 80% or better. And, best of all, an oral cancer screening is included in a routine dental visit that you should be getting anyway.

Teeth Cleaning
Fluoride Treatment
Dental Sealants
Dental Sealants — The “pits and fissures” on the chewing surfaces of back teeth can be sealed with a plastic covering at the dentist’s office to avoid cavities. The bacterial agents that cause deterioration thrive in these tiny gaps. Because immature tooth enamel is more porous and less tooth decay resistant, dental sealants are simple to apply and offer many years of defense.
Space Maintainers
In severe circumstances, the tooth may need to be extracted and replaced with a space maintainer to close the gap. However, space maintainers frequently fail to entirely restore the tooth’s functionality. Furthermore, they are prone to become loose and must be continually maintained. Other therapeutic options are preferred if at all possible, such as...

Fillings
Composite — A popular choice for those who don’t want their fillings to show, composite is a material made up of plastic and glass that adheres to the remainder of the tooth. Composite fillings are more expensive than amalgam fillings, but they last almost as long. When compared to amalgam, installing composite requires less drilling of the tooth.
Resin Composite
Bonded teeth should be brushed and flossed daily, and professionally cleaned at the dental office twice per year, just the same as the rest of your teeth. The most important thing to keep in mind about caring for your bonded tooth is that composite resin can absorb stain, just as natural teeth can. As a result, you should avoid smoking, red wine, coffee, and tea to the greatest extent feasible. Additionally, composite can darken but not lighten. It, if you’re thinking about having your teeth whitened, do so before they’re bonded so that a composite shade that matches the lighter color of your whitened teeth can be chosen. If you whiten your teeth after bonding, the bonded tooth may not blend in with the rest of your teeth. Finally, avoid biting your nails, holding writing implements in your mouth, or otherwise using your teeth in ways that could cause the bonding material to chip. A bonded tooth should last 3 to 10 years if properly cared for.
Veneers
However, some characteristics of a beautiful smile are instantly recognizable: good tooth color, shape, and alignment are only a few of the most significant. If you’re looking for a way to improve any of these aspects of your smile, porcelain veneers might be the answer.
Crowns
Bridges
Other tooth-replacement techniques, on the other hand, can weaken adjacent teeth. Dental implants have no effect on the health of adjacent natural teeth. The natural teeth on either side of a gap formed by a lost tooth, for example, must offer support for the dental bridge. This can put undue strain on nearby teeth, making them more vulnerable to decay. A partial denture, on the other hand, is supported by surrounding natural teeth and may cause those teeth to loosen with time. Dental implants are tooth replacements that are self-contained and do not rely on natural teeth for support.
Dental Bonding
Small chips on the edges or cusps of teeth that cause no symptoms can be treated with cosmetic bonding or other techniques. Deeply fractured teeth, on the other hand, can be a severe problem. The sooner they are treated, the more likely the impacted tooth will be saved. Let’s take a closer look at the different types of fractures teeth can get, as well as the symptoms they can cause.

Pulpotomy
Pulpotomy. Alternatively, if decay is limited to the upper portion of the pulp, we may recommend a “pulpotomy.” This involves removing the damaged part of the pulp, stabilizing the remaining healthy portion, and then disinfecting and sealing the tooth. This “partial” root canal is a time-tested technique that’s successful in many cases.
Root Canal Treatment
When a tooth’s pulp becomes infected or inflamed, which can happen as a result of severe dental decay, a crack in the tooth, or some other type of trauma to the tooth, root canal therapy is required. Severe throbbing, tooth pain, or more widespread pain in the head and neck are all indications of infection. Infections can harm the jaw and spread to other teeth if they are not treated right.
Apicoectomy
Diagnostic photographs (such as X-rays) of the damaged tooth and surrounding bone, as well as a thorough evaluation of your medical history, including drugs you take (both prescription and non-prescription), and other considerations are reviewed before an apicoectomy treatment. The reasons for an apicoectomy will be presented to you if one is recommended.

Dentures
It can also raise the risk of having dietary issues as well as other systemic health problems. Fortunately, complete or partial dentures are a tried-and-true approach of managing this disease.
Overdentures
Fixed bridgework and dental implants are two further options for restoring missing teeth besides dentures. Each strategy has its own set of advantages and disadvantages that should be carefully considered. Dentures come in a variety of styles to address specific difficulties, ranging from partial dentures to implant-supported overdentures. The best solution for you will be determined by your unique circumstances.

Dental Implants

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
X-rays are frequently taken prior to your oral surgery to help with diagnostic and treatment planning. You should feel free to ask any questions you may have. The procedure will be described in detail, along with your available anaesthetic alternatives. Your recuperation process will be influenced by the surgery you are having and your general health. It’s always vital to inform your healthcare providers about the prescription and over-the-counter medications you use, any ongoing medical issues you may have, and if you smoke. Your safety and comfort—always the top priorities—will be helped by this.
Jaw Surgery
Using today’s modern dental and orthodontic treatment technologies, abnormalities with the bite or tooth alignment can be rectified in many cases. Skeletal and dental anomalies, on the other hand, aren’t always straightforward to correct, even with the most advanced non-surgical procedures. Corrective jaw surgery (also known as orthognathic surgery) may be recommended at this point.
Maxillofacial Surgery
Dr. Hyneman is married to his wife Roberta, a dental hygienist, and has two grown children. His daughter, Rachel, has a PhD in particle physics, and is completing a post-doctorate degree at Stanford’s Linear Accelerator Center. His son, Daniel, has earned both DDS and MD degrees, and is in his fourth year of an oral and maxillofacial surgery residency at LSU Medical Center.
Tooth Extractions
Wisdom tooth extraction is normally done in the office by a dentist or an oral surgeon. It’s possible to have the procedure done with just a local anesthetic (numbing shot) to keep you pain-free; but, if numerous teeth are being pulled at once (which is common), a general anesthesia or conscious sedation may be used. Before the procedure, the appropriate type of anesthetic for you will be established.
Bone Grafting
Where does this additional bone come from? It could be bone from another portion of your body, such as your hip or another part of your jaw. However, the most common materials treated in a laboratory for these purposes are bone grafting materials. It’s possible that the original source was a human or animal donor (usually a cow). It is also possible to employ synthetic products. The Food and Drug Administration must approve all grafting materials, and they must be manufactured according to their requirements. The materials are sterilized, non-contagious, and devoid of rejection factors thanks to an unique treatment. Bone grafts, for the most part, serve as scaffolds that the body eventually replaces with its own bone.

Orthodontics
At OC Smile Dental & Orthodontics, we advise patients to start a preventative dental care regimen as soon as possible in life. The easiest way to deal with a dental issue is to avoid one altogether by practicing good oral hygiene. It entails using a circular motion when brushing and flossing two to three times daily. We advise spending two minutes or more brushing your teeth. Give timing a shot. You could not be brushing for nearly long enough. The best practice, as we frequently state, is preventive.
Invisalign Orthodontics
We offer Invisalign and ClearCorrect as an alternative to traditional braces. Clear aligners are a revolutionary system that utilizes 3-D computer graphics to design and manufacture customized clear appliances called “Aligners”. These appliances are virtually undetectable, easy-t-use and comfortable to wear. The invisible way to straighten your teeth, without braces. Invisalign and ClearCorrect can give you the beautiful straight teeth you’ve always wanted.
Braces
When it comes to keeping their braces, teeth, and gums clean, patients who are wearing braces need to be more diligent. You may preserve healthy teeth and a gorgeous smile for the rest of your life by adhering to our orthodontist’s oral hygiene recommendations and avoiding specific foods. The plaque is against you. Plaque can cause cavities, inflamed gums, foul breath, scarred and discolored teeth, and even swollen gums surrounding braces. The following are some top tips for keeping your mouth healthy while wearing braces...
