Tooth Exposure in Arlington
Residents of Arlington, a dynamic Northern Virginia county just across the Potomac from DC, home to the Pentagon, Arlington Cemetery, and thriving urban villages, now have convenient access to expert tooth exposure care at Precision Periodontics & Implant Dentistry in nearby Washington DC. Tooth exposure is a minor surgical procedure to uncover an impacted or unerupted tooth — most commonly a canine — and attach an orthodontic bracket so the tooth can be guided into its proper position.
The short 10-minute drive from Arlington to our Washington DC office is well worth it for the level of specialized tooth exposure care our periodontists deliver. Impacted canines and other teeth that fail to erupt on their own need to be surgically exposed so orthodontic treatment can bring them into alignment, preserving the natural tooth rather than extracting it.
Why Precision Periodontics
Board-certified periodontists serving Arlington.
As a practice with six board-certified periodontists, Precision Periodontics offers a level of specialized care that sets us apart in tooth exposure. Our periodontists make a small incision in the gum tissue to expose the crown of the impacted tooth, then bond an orthodontic bracket and chain to it. The orthodontist then gradually guides the tooth into its correct position in the arch. Our Arlington patients appreciate both our clinical skill and our genuinely caring approach.
