Tooth Exposure in Tenleytown
If you live in Tenleytown and are considering tooth exposure, Precision Periodontics & Implant Dentistry offers the advanced periodontal and implant care you deserve at our Washington DC office. 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 Tenleytown and surrounding areas to our Washington DC office, conveniently located about 15 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 Tenleytown.
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. Tenleytown patients benefit from our team's combined decades of specialized experience.
