Oral Surgery Procedures to Redefine Patient Smiles
Tooth extractions are a simple and very common type of oral surgery that involves gently pulling a tooth from its socket. Often performed as preparation prior to dental implant placement, Dr. Timmerman is careful not to harm healthy bone and tissue surrounding the problematic area. South Seattle Smiles offers affordable tooth extractions, including wisdom tooth extraction right here at our practice in Tukwila, WA.
Bone grafting is another type of oral surgery that involves rebuilding bone mass in the maxilla (jaw bone) back to healthy levels. Bone recession typically occurs due to missing teeth, and without the proper support and treatment, it can lead to severe inflammation and a variety of serious oral and physical health complications. Bone grafting is also commonly performed prior to implant placement, as the jaw needs to have a sufficient amount of health bone in order to accept and support the implant post.
Often referred to as the gold standard of missing tooth replacement, dental implants are a procedure that offer permanent restoration of missing and severely damaged teeth. Implants consist of three functional parts: the implant post, the abutment, and the restoration. The implant post is first surgically inserted into the jaw, and this acts as a support to permanently anchor an entire arch of new teeth. At South Seattle Smiles, our implant surgery protocol is enhanced by Chrome digital surgery guidance, meaning a faster treatment, speedier recovery times, and nearly perfect success rates. We also offer immediate load solutions, meaning you can walk into our Tukwila, WA, office with missing teeth, and walk out with a perfect new smile – all within a matter of hours!
