Tooth Exposure in Lorton
Lorton is a growing southern Fairfax County community near the Occoquan River and the Workhouse Arts Center, 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.
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. From Lorton, our Alexandria office is approximately 20 minutes away, making it easy to receive tooth exposure treatment without a long commute.
Why Precision Periodontics
Board-certified periodontists serving Lorton.
What sets Precision Periodontics apart for Lorton 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.
