Tooth Exposure in Springfield
Patients throughout Springfield 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.
The short 15-minute drive from Springfield to our Alexandria 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 Springfield.
With a team of six board-certified periodontists trained at leading institutions, Precision Periodontics brings an exceptional level of skill to every tooth exposure case. 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. Springfield patients benefit from our team's combined decades of specialized experience.
