Williams Oral Surgery

"I had a tooth pulled a few years ago and my dentist keeps mentioning an implant. Do I really need one if it doesn't bother me?"

Great question. The short answer is that a missing tooth continues to affect your mouth long after the discomfort fades. The bone in that area no longer has a root stimulating it, so it gradually shrinks. Neighboring teeth can drift into the space over time. The longer you wait, the more complex the solution becomes. It doesn't have to be urgent, but it is worth a conversation sooner rather than later. Book a consultation at WilliamsOralSurgery.com and we'll show you exactly what's going on.

Did you know that wisdom teeth can cause crowding even before they fully come in? The pressure from an impacted tooth can shift your other teeth over time, sometimes undoing years of orthodontic work. Most people don't feel it happening. That's why an imaging appointment can tell you a lot more than a toothache ever will. If you haven't had your wisdom teeth evaluated, give us a call at 614.267.0385.
