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.
EVERYONE in the office is SO NICE, friendly and caring. They made sure I was comfortable. Dr. Kahn did a surgery for me 15 years ago so I already knew he was the BEST! And he still is! And he’s so personable and really just wanted to help me. I was at the Hoover office and it was such a great experience! Good job, ALL of them!!!
Dr. Bannon is an excellent doctor and would highly recommend. He is attentive and caring and takes time to answer all your questions. He did an excellent job on my wisdom tooth extraction.
I was referred to Koslin & Kahn to get all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled and of course, I was scared. I had Dr. Bannon and the experience was out of this world. I didn't hurt after my appointment even days later I still wasn’t in any pain. All the nurses were very kind and made sure I was in and out. My appointment was at 10:00am I left at 10:40. The procedure was very fast. I was fully sedated and even after my appointment, I was able to walk normally and go to stores just fine. The swelling went down in like a couple of hours. My experience was so great and I believe the doctors played a tremendous role in my recovery!
Dr. Koslin and staff are great! Took care of both my boys. I recommend them without any reservations.
