Yes, we perform wisdom tooth extractions. Wisdom teeth are the third molars that typically erupt in the back of the mouth around the age of 18. Wisdom teeth can sometimes become impacted, which means they do not have enough room to erupt properly. Impacted wisdom teeth can cause a variety of problems, including pain, infection.

Is anesthesia required for examinations?

What's the difference between a bridge and an implant?

Can multiple fillings be done at once?

Yes, multiple fillings can be performed at once. However, the number of fillings that can be performed at one time will depend on the size and location of the cavities. Our dentists will discuss your treatment options with you prior to beginning any procedure.
