If teeth do not emerge out of the gums like they are supposed to, they can cause problems such as crowding, infections or diseased tissue. However, this can be fixed with a simple tooth extraction.

Your dentist, or in some cases, your orthodontist, will monitor your mouth and recommend if any misaligned or crowded teeth should be removed to preserve the full integrity of your mouth.

Dental implants are changing the way people live! They are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth which look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything and can smile with confidence, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved.

When it comes to dental implants, which require accurate planning and surgical skill, our highly trained and experienced surgeons are ready to carry out these procedures with exceptional care.

The majority of young people will experience discomfort from impacted wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, and require their removal.

Also known as “orthognathic surgery,” corrective jaw surgery is the process of realigning severely misaligned jaws. It can also treat obstructive sleep apnea and is also known as maxillomandibular advancement.

Technology has made this process much more effective and comfortable than ever, and we are here to guide you safely through the process at Alameda Oral Surgery Group.

Patients may require TMJ treatment when the structures that make up the joint space start to deteriorate. This can cause pain, limit jaw movement, lead to popping and clicking, affect diet and speech, induce migraines and force the teeth out of alignment.

To avoid some of the more serious symptoms, it is important to detect and treat TMJ problems early.

Over a period of time, the jawbone associated with missing teeth atrophies or is reabsorbed. This often leaves a condition in which there is poor quality and quantity of bone suitable for placement of dental implants.

Today, we have the ability to grow bone where needed. This not only gives us the opportunity to place implants of proper length and width, it also gives us a chance to restore functionality and aesthetic appearance.
