Of course, the reason our Santa Rosa, CA team’s practice includes treatments for facial trauma is the fact that sometimes, things happen. What we want you to remember is that though you cannot know what’s coming, during many of those times, it’s extremely easy to protect yourself against injury. Though you may assume we are going to suggest something complex, we really just want patients to remember that the number one protection against facial injury is the use of an athletic mouthguard! Now, for some questions and answers!
Implants: When You Feel Like Throwing In The Towel
One second, you’re on top of the world and you cannot believe you have found this exceptional option for tooth replacement: They’re dental implants and they’re definitely for you! However, over time, that sensational emotion starts to fade and for one of a variety of reasons (or a bunch of them), you may decide that you should probably just throw in the towel. After all, there are other options (or you can just not replace your teeth, you decide), and that’s that. Or…is it? From our Rohnert Park, CA team’s perspective, you just might want to grab hold of that initial enthusiasm again. Consider our thoughts!
Affordable Dental Implants: Your Reality
When you talk about implants, think about them, discuss them with friends, or look them up online, there may be one think that you keep circling around back to: You wonder if there’s such a thing as affordable dental implants. You have heard that they’re extremely expensive but every time you speak with a dentist or a team like our own Santa Rosa, CA oral surgeons, you hear that they’re a wonderful solution for you. So, trying to judge what might be realistic for you versus what just sounds like a nice treatment (that may be unattainable) can become a big obstacle. Let us help with the details.
What If I Don’t Get The Extraction I Need?
Sometimes in life, when there’s something you really don’t want to do, you consider the associated benefits and then the potential consequences. Even when there are some negative consequences, you may find that you take the gamble and skip out on that particular “thing” that would serve you well because you feel afraid! Though this may not always lead to dire circumstances, when it comes to just deciding you’re not going to follow through on a required dental extraction, it can yield some exceptionally severe results. Let our Santa Rosa, CA team shed light on the details as we also help you feel better!

With that said, let our Santa Rosa, CA team remind you of some things you might want to consider adding to your planner by the time summer hits!

However, there’s still something that’s making you feel too uneasy to feel comfortable moving ahead with solidified plans to replace teeth. Are your instincts telling you to make a different choice? Is it something else? Our Rohnert Park, CA team is ready to help you out!

Need a Tooth Extracted? Here’s Why
Not every reason for tooth extraction is preventable, and when it is, the condition often progresses well before the person realizes that they’re tooth is in such trouble. However, once tooth extraction does become necessary, there are few or no options left for protecting the rest of your smile. At our Santa Rosa, CA, oral surgery office, we only recommend extracting a tooth in situations when complex damage or infection, or an impacted position, has left us with no other option for restoring it.

How Much Do You Know About Wisdom Teeth?
The last four teeth to grow on your dental ridge, known as wisdom teeth, are technically your third set of permanent molars. For most people, however, two sets are enough, and there is often little room left on their dental ridges to accommodate more. This often leads to problems with the growth and development of wisdom teeth, and the need to extract one or more of them due to severe discomfort. At our Santa Rosa, CA, dental office, we can help you find relief from that discomfort by carefully extracting impacted wisdom teeth, or removing them before they even have a chance to become problematic.

Non-Obvious Effects of Losing Teeth
When you lose a tooth, the visual impacts it can have on your smile can be significant. Because your smile is such a dominant factor in your appearance, and confidence, that impact can seem like the most important aspect of tooth loss. However, there are also several not-so-obvious effects of tooth loss that can have an increasingly more severe impact on your long-term oral health. At our Santa Rosa, CA, oral surgery office, we can help you avoid those consequences by replacing your lost teeth with one or more highly lifelike, biocompatible dental implants. (more…)
