Tooth Exposure in Foggy Bottom
Foggy Bottom is a central DC neighborhood home to George Washington University, the Kennedy Center, and the State Department, and when it comes to tooth exposure, the community trusts the team of periodontists 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.
We welcome patients from Foggy Bottom and surrounding areas to our Washington DC office, conveniently located about 5 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 Foggy Bottom.
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 Foggy Bottom consistently trust our expertise.
Your journey to improved periodontal health starts with a single call. Foggy Bottom residents can reach our Washington DC office at (202) 296-3360 or request a consultation online. Our 5-minute proximity from Foggy Bottom makes expert tooth exposure care genuinely accessible.
