What Are Impacted Teeth?
Impacted teeth occur when a tooth is unable to fully emerge from the gum line due to obstruction or insufficient space in the jaw. While it's most common in wisdom teeth, it can affect other teeth as well. Impacted teeth can lead to pain, infection, and alignment issues, making them a common reason for dental intervention. At Koslin & Kahn Oral & Facial Surgery, we provide high-quality care to address impacted teeth, offering solutions tailored to your needs. To learn more about impacted tooth removal, contact one of our offices in Hoover, Jasper, or Clanton, AL. Our team is committed to helping you restore your oral health and comfort.
How Are Impacted Teeth Treated?
Impacted teeth are typically treated through surgical extraction, which an oral surgeon performs to remove the tooth and alleviate any related issues such as pain, infection, or misalignment. Depending on the severity and location of the impacted tooth, the procedure may involve making a small incision in the gum to access the tooth, and in some cases, the tooth may be sectioned into smaller pieces for easier removal. After extraction, the area may be sutured to ensure proper healing. In certain situations, additional treatments like bone grafting or orthodontics may be recommended to ensure optimal oral health and function.
What Are the Benefits of Impacted Tooth Removal?
Removing impacted teeth offers several benefits, including:
- Alleviates pain and discomfort caused by impacted teeth
- Prevents infection and damage to surrounding teeth
- Improves oral hygiene by reducing overcrowding
- Prevents potential cysts or tumors from developing
- Restores alignment and function of the teeth
- Reduces the risk of gum disease or tooth decay
Koslin & Kahn Oral & Facial Surgery Reviews
Great experience all around from the front office to the surgeon & his staff. Pleasant conversation, professional, kind & funny even while extracting my tooth. Highly recommend Dr. Bannon & his staff.
Staff was very efficient and Dr.Denson explained what was going on every minute. This approach was great and eliminated any angst about the process.
I had an Apico procedure done on 6/26/25 by Dr. Koslin. He did a great job with my surgery! I would highly recommend him to anyone that need this kind of oral surgery done. His nurse was very polite and caring. Great experience!
In January I saw Dr. Kahn. He did an extraction of a broken tooth, and bone graph. Then in June Dr. Kahn placed my 2 implants.This is a great office. It has a steller staff and Fantastic Dr's.
I have such bad anxiety with dentists but everyone here made my experience so nice. I was so blessed to be in the hands of Dr. Kahn & his nurse Grace along with two other very sweet workers that I don’t remember their names. The place was very clean. I will say the receptionist at the front wasn’t too friendly but she wasn’t working on my teeth so oh well! If you need anything done teeth wise, this is place to come!
