Tooth Exposure in Capitol Hill
For Capitol Hill residents seeking tooth exposure, our board-certified periodontists provide exceptional results at Precision Periodontics & Implant Dentistry in 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 15-minute drive from Capitol Hill 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 Capitol Hill.
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 team includes six board-certified periodontists — Drs. Zalewsky, Alani, Artis, Daru, Lakkis, and Ganesh — giving Capitol Hill patients access to a depth of expertise unmatched in the DC metro area.
