Tooth Exposure in Dupont Circle
Patients throughout Dupont Circle choose Precision Periodontics & Implant Dentistry for tooth exposure because of our team's reputation for meticulous periodontal care and outstanding outcomes. 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.
We welcome patients from Dupont Circle and surrounding areas to our Washington DC office, conveniently located about 10 minutes away. 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 Dupont Circle.
What sets Precision Periodontics apart for Dupont Circle residents is our team of six board-certified periodontists, each bringing unique expertise and a shared commitment to clinical excellence. 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.
