Wisdom teeth can grow at odd angles, only partly break through the gum, or get trapped beneath the gum and bone. This may cause swelling, pain, and illness.
Not only does regaining teeth allow you to eat anything, but dentures also look natural and maintain your face's shape. With dental implants, you can show your pearly whites off with pride!
Severe tooth decay, impacted wisdom teeth, or to make room for braces are some of the reasons for single or multiple tooth extractions.
Before being fitted for a partial or complete denture, some patients require minor oral surgical procedures to minimize discomfort.
Your mouth is normally lined with smooth, coral-pink skin called the mucosa. If you notice any changes in this appearance, it could be a warning sign of a pathological process, such as oral cancer.
An impacted tooth is "stuck" and non-functional. Wisdom teeth are the most commonly impacted teeth, and patients usually have them extracted since there's no functional purpose for wisdom teeth.
Over time, the jawbone associated with missing teeth atrophies. This often leaves behind a lack of bone quality and quantity suitable for dental implants. In these situations, bone grafting becomes necessary to grow new bone in the affected area.
3D dental imaging is a process that uses an X-ray arm that captures images from different angles and sends them to a computer. The computer then puts the images together in three dimensions.

Dental implants are artificial teeth and roots inserted into your jawbone. The posts, typically made from titanium, act as the roots, while the teeth attached serve as the actual implant. Over time, your natural jawbone will fuse with the artificial implant to create a stronger foundation for it. Not only does this fusing improve stability for dental implants, but it also helps prevent the deterioration of your jawbone over time.
Dental implants can take several months to complete, as you must wait for your jawbone to heal around the post before the tooth can be placed. With patience, dental implants can:
If you have any of the following symptoms, schedule a consultation immediately so we can work on a customized oral treatment plan for you:
Missing all teeth: A series of four to six dental implants offer a better foundation for your denture than relying on the suction of your gums alone. Also, the restoration is smaller, so there’s more room inside your mouth.
Missing multiple teeth: If you have dental implants, you can replace two or more missing teeth by having a bridge or partial denture custom-made to fit on top of them. In addition to making your restoration feel more secure and stable, dental implants will make tasting food and speaking clearly more effortless for you.
Missing tooth: Dental implants don’t require reshaping nearby teeth to function. So, you can preserve more of your natural tooth structure, which is always better than alternative options, like dental bridges.
First, Dr. Yanich will take a series of X-rays and 3D images to determine if dental implants are the best treatment for you. The imaging will also help determine the best placement for your implants. Next, he’ll discuss anesthesia options to make the procedure as comfortable as possible. The procedure starts with a small cut in your gum to expose the bone. Once he has placed the implant in your jawbone, he’ll close the gums with stitches; your primary dentist can provide temporary tooth wear while your mouth heals.
After about three to six months, you’ll return to our office, so we can remove the stitches and check on how well your implant has fused with your jawbone. Finally, we’ll attach a small connector post called an abutment to the implant for your dentist to attach your new tooth or denture.
Although dental implant surgery is a fairly routine procedure, Dr. Yanich recommends taking a few steps to prepare for it. Before your implant surgery, make sure to keep the following points in mind so you can have a smooth procedure and comfortable recovery:
Quit smoking at least a month before the date of your surgery.
Avoid drinking alcohol in the week leading up to surgery.
Refrain from eating or drinking for at least eight hours before your procedure.
On the day of your operation, wear comfortable clothes.
Arrange transportation from our office to your home, especially if Dr. Yanich will use sedatives during your surgery.
Have a friend or family member help you for the first 24 hours after your procedure.
At Yanich Oral Surgery, we know that the cost of dental implants is a significant factor for many people when deciding whether or not to go through with the procedure. Although we wish we could give everyone an estimate online, each surgery is different –– the cost of your procedure will depend on your mouth, teeth, gums, etc. We want what’s best for our patients and therefore consider these crucial factors before giving a quote, so there are no surprises later down the road:
