When you consider the ways that dental implants protect you, it’s likely that you think about it in terms of your smile. How do they protect your ability to maintain your oral health, to eat the foods you enjoy, to feel as though you look like yourself, and more? However, you may not spend a lot of time thinking outside of that, which is just what our Santa Rosa, CA team would like to focus on today! Expand your horizons as you realize implant benefits reach far and wide!

Why You Still Have Your Wisdom Teeth
Perhaps you have been wondering why you still have your wisdom teeth. Why didn’t anyone ever tell you to have them taken out? Why didn’t you ever agree to have them taken out? Or, why didn’t your parents have them removed when you were a teenager like many of your friends? This is one of those topics that can cause a bit of confusion and that can cause individuals to assume wisdom teeth removal is probably one of those things that nobody really needs. Our Santa Rosa, CA practice would love to help clear away any skepticism and help set you on a path toward better understanding the details!

What might this mean for you, you ask? After all, you’re already brushing and flossing, what more is there?

Wisdom Teeth: Don’t Wait Too Long For Removal!
When we talk about wisdom teeth removal, it’s easy to feel like you have all of the time in the world to act. You know that the solution, of course, is to extract potentially harmful teeth. However, you wait a week and that can turn into a month, which can become years if you aren’t careful! While this may seem like no big deal, procrastinating when these molars need to be extracted can result in one particular complication for nearly everyone: You may not only require removal of those teeth but also additional treatment (that you could have avoided) to fix associated damage. Find out what our Santa Rosa, CA team is talking about!
Implants For Your Smile: Why Assume The Best?
When you assume the worst in regard to dental implants that you would like to choose for your smile, you do yourself a major disservice!
