Edgewater Dental Arts, led by Dr. John Cutting, offers state-of-the-art oral surgery services to address a wide array of dental issues. We are committed to providing a safe and comfortable experience, ensuring all your questions are addressed in a supportive setting.
Top oral surgery treatments at Edgewater Dental Arts include:
Frenectomy
A frenectomy is a simple surgical procedure used to release a tight frenulum, which is the small fold of tissue that connects the upper lip to the gum or the tongue to the floor of the mouth. When this tissue is too tight or restrictive, it can cause various issues, such as difficulty breastfeeding in infants, speech impediments, gum recession, and problems with dental hygiene.
At Edgewater Dental Arts, Dr. John Cutting can perform frenectomies to address these issues and improve your overall oral health. The procedure is typically quick and minimally invasive, often done with a laser for greater precision and comfort. Recovery time is usually short, with minimal discomfort.
Wisdom Teeth Extraction
At Edgewater Dental Arts, we understand that wisdom teeth extractions can be a significant concern. Dr. John Cutting and our experienced team are here to provide you with expert care and ensure a comfortable experience. Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last set of teeth to erupt, typically in the late teens or early twenties. Often, there is not enough room in the mouth for them, which can lead to impaction and other dental problems.
We handle both types of wisdom teeth impactions:
- Fully Bony Impactions: This occurs when the wisdom tooth is completely encased in bone and has not emerged through the gum line. These extractions often require a more involved surgical approach.
- Partial Bony Impactions: This happens when the wisdom tooth has partially erupted through the gum line but is still partially covered by bone or gum tissue. These extractions may also require a surgical procedure but are typically less complex than fully bony impactions.
Whether you're dealing with a fully bony or partial bony impaction, our team ensures the procedure is as comfortable and efficient as possible. We use advanced imaging to accurately assess the position and condition of your wisdom teeth, allowing for precise treatment planning. If you are experiencing pain, swelling, or other discomfort related to your wisdom teeth, or if you suspect your wisdom teeth may be impacted, we encourage you to schedule a consultation with Dr. John Cutting at Edgewater Dental Arts. We will evaluate your situation, discuss your options, and create a personalized treatment plan. Contact us today to book your appointment and take the first step toward better oral health.
Tooth Extractions
Tooth extractions, while sometimes necessary, are a procedure we handle with the utmost care and attention at Edgewater Dental Arts. Dr. John Cutting and our experienced team are dedicated to making the process as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Tooth extractions are performed when a tooth is severely damaged, decayed, or causing other dental issues that cannot be resolved with other treatments. This might include situations where a tooth is impacted, infected, or crowding other teeth.
During the procedure, we use local anesthesia to numb the area, ensuring you feel minimal discomfort. We then gently and carefully extract the tooth, taking every precaution to protect the surrounding tissues and bone. We also provide thorough aftercare instructions to promote proper healing and minimize any post-operative discomfort.
Periodontal Surgery
Gum surgery, also known as periodontal surgery, is a procedure used to treat gum disease and other periodontal conditions. At Edgewater Dental Arts, we provide various types of gum surgery to restore the health of your gums and supporting tissues. If you're experiencing symptoms such as bleeding gums, swollen gums, gum recession, or persistent bad breath, you might be a candidate for gum surgery.
Our skilled team, led by Dr. John Cutting, will conduct a thorough evaluation to assess the condition of your gums and recommend the most appropriate treatment. Gum surgery can involve procedures to remove infected tissue, repair damaged bone, or graft tissue to cover exposed roots and prevent further recession. We use advanced techniques to ensure the procedure is as comfortable and effective as possible, with minimal discomfort and downtime.
Root Canal Therapy
When a tooth becomes severely infected or decayed, a root canal is often the necessary procedure to save it. At Edgewater Dental Arts, Dr. John Cutting and our highly skilled team utilize advanced techniques and technology to perform root canals with precision and care. We understand that this procedure can cause anxiety, so we prioritize your comfort by using local anesthesia to numb the area effectively. During the root canal, we remove the infected pulp, meticulously clean and disinfect the tooth's interior, and then fill and seal it to prevent further infection.
