Tooth Exposure in Fairfax
Fairfax is the county seat of Fairfax County and a thriving city home to George Mason University and historic Old Town Fairfax, and when it comes to tooth exposure, the community trusts the team of periodontists at Precision Periodontics & Implant Dentistry in Alexandria. 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.
Many of our tooth exposure patients travel from Fairfax — a drive of only about 20 minutes — because they value the combination of periodontal expertise and personalized attention we provide. 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 Fairfax.
Our periodontists — Drs. Zalewsky, Alani, Artis, Daru, Lakkis, and Ganesh — combine advanced specialty training with a patient-centered approach. 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. Patients from Fairfax consistently trust our expertise.
