We use a soft-tissue laser to provide treatment for moderate to advanced gum disease. The laser removes bacteria and diseased tissue in a gentle, nontraumatic way. Laser gum disease treatment is much gentler and more comfortable than traditional gum surgery using a scalpel.

Wisdom teeth extraction
"Do I Need to Have My Wisdom Teeth Removed?"
One of the things Dr. Edalat monitor during your dental appointments is the growth of your wisdom teeth, or third molars. Third molars generally begin to erupt between the ages of 17 and 25. Wisdom teeth may require removal for many reasons, including pain, infection, or growth issues. While not all patients need their wisdom tooth removed, problems can develop if removal is not performed. If you wait, you could have problems after surgery that range from heavy bleeding and fractured teeth to severe numbness and minor loss of movement in your jaw.
Why is removal necessary?
- Sinus Issues: Problems with wisdom teeth can lead to sinus pain, pressure, and congestion.
- Damage to other teeth: That extra set of molars can push your other teeth around, causing jaw pain,and crowding of teeth.
- Jaw damage: Cysts can form around the new teeth. If they aren’t treated, they can hollow out your jaw and cause nerve damage.
- Inflamed Gums: Tissue around the area can swell and may be hard to clean.
- Cavities: Swollen gums can create pockets between teeth that help bacteria grow and cavities form.
- Alignment: Impacted wisdom teeth can cause problems with crowding of other teeth and even make treatment to straighten other teeth necessary.
Evaluation of your wisdom teeth will be done upon your initial exam. Depending on severity of impaction, you might be referred to an Oral Surgeon for the extractions.
Ask Dr Edalat to evaluate your wisdom teeth upon your exam.
