At the office of Dr. Jay A. Zimmerman, DMD, our dental team provides a selection of oral surgeries to ensure our patients can receive the comprehensive dental care they need. We treat patients of all ages with gentle, modern dentistry, including top oral surgeries like:
Root Canals for Non-Molar Teeth
Root canals are a common dental procedure used to treat infected or damaged tooth pulp. While many people associate root canals with molars, they can also be performed on other teeth, such as premolars and incisors.
Non-molar root canals are typically less complex than molar root canals and often involve a shorter treatment time. During a non-molar root canal, the dentist removes the infected or damaged pulp from the tooth and fills the root canal with a biocompatible material. This procedure helps to prevent infection and preserve the tooth.
Benefits of non-molar root canals include:
- Preservation of natural teeth: Root canals can help save teeth that would otherwise need to be extracted.
- Pain relief: Root canals can relieve severe tooth pain caused by infection or inflammation.
- Improved oral health: By treating the infection, root canals can help prevent the spread of bacteria and improve overall oral health.
If you are experiencing tooth pain or have a tooth that has been damaged, it is important to see your dentist for an evaluation. In many cases, a non-molar root canal can be a successful and effective treatment option.
Dental Implants
For permanent tooth replacement, dental implants offer a top, effective solution. Implants are durable, natural-looking alternatives to traditional dentures or bridges and are designed to look, feel and function just like your natural teeth! To place dental implants, Dr. Zimmerman inserts titanium posts that are into the jawbone. Over time, these posts fuse with your bone in a process called osseointegration, creating a strong and stable foundation for replacing missing teeth.
Gingivectomy
Our team offers gingivectomy to provide the surgical removal of excess gum tissue, addressing deep pockets in the gums or the appearance of a "gummy smile."
