Teeth Cleaning

Crowns
The advantages of dental implants are that an implant is most similar to a natural tooth. Also the adjacent teeth do not have to be involved in the placement procedure. Studies have shown that the life span of the adjacent teeth when involved with the use of crown and bridgework may significantly compromise their life expectancy. Implants may decrease or help prevent the shrinkage of the jaw bone from tooth loss. They also help to preserve natural facial contours in appearance. They restore oral function in a manner that most closely resembles that of natural teeth.
Bridges

Root Canal Treatment
A third option would include fixed to the teeth bridgework or a fixed partial denture. The advantage is they look, feel and function like natural teeth and there is no need to remove them to clean them, but they do however have disadvantages. One of them would be they affect the adjoining teeth. Studies have proven that the teeth that are incorporated into the bridgework are less likely to survive long term and more likely to need root canal work. Your dentist must grind down the adjacent teeth, which in some cases are healthy teeth, in order to support a fixed bridge. Also, they may need to be replaced every 5–7 years. Bridge cement may deteriorate allowing bacteria to gain access to the supporting teeth which can cause problems to them.
Apicoectomy

Dentures
Other treatment options besides dental implants include doing nothing. Clearly this is the least advantageous option as you will not have the function of any teeth. A second option would be a removable partial denture. This is an appliance that you would be able to take in and out of your mouth. The advantage of this is that it is easier to repair and it is less expensive. The disadvantages are that removable bridges can be less stable than the other choices available to you. They can break or be lost. Some people find removable bridges uncomfortable. Some are embarrassed to take their teeth out at night for cleaning and they may move during speech or eating which can affect those functions. Visible metal hooks wrap around surrounding teeth which may make the partial dentures more visible.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Jaw Surgery
Orthognathic surgery or corrective jaw surgery is a procedure that oral and maxillofacial surgeons are uniquely qualified to treat. Because of their specialized training in both medical and dental surgery your oral and maxillofacial surgeon can properly treat the conditions that require this surgery.
Maxillofacial Surgery
Brian Simpson, D.M.D. is a graduate from Brown University in Providence, RI. He obtained his dental degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1984 and completed his residency in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Boston City Hospital including rotations at Tufts New England Medical Center. He has been in a private practice since 1988 and has worked in various localities across the world including Guys Hospital in London, private practices in Egypt and Greece, Health Volunteer's Overseas in India and Peru and at the Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation in Belcourt, ND. He also was a volunteer for patients at Jawonio as well as the Special Olympics.
Tooth Extractions
Bone Grafting
Dr. Simpson has been board certified since 1993 and has numerous areas of expertise which include facial trauma, orthognathic surgery, dental implants, facial pain, dental alveolar surgery, laser surgery, TMJ treatment including surgery, pathology, cleft palates, anesthesia, bone grafting and obstructive sleep apnea.

Orthodontics
The reason why we have to take the wisdom teeth out is because in many cases they become maintenance or hygiene issues. It becomes difficult to keep them clean and as a result of that the plaque and bacteria collect on the teeth, which can result in cavities, toothaches, infection and gum disease. There are also issues of crowding of the teeth, which if you have had orthodontics in the past, would be a consideration for their removal as well. They can, in very rare instances, develop cysts and tumors around them, however this is a fairly rare thing which depending on what study you read may be anywhere from 5–9%. A recent study sponsored by the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons and the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Foundation finds that the wisdom teeth which have broken through the tissue and erupted into the mouth in a normal, upright position may be as prone to disease as those wisdom teeth that remain impacted.
