When a Tooth Just Won’t Come In
An impacted or improperly positioned tooth can sometimes prevent normal eruption. In these situations, your orthodontist may refer you to Pinnacle Oral Surgery for a surgical exposure.
During the procedure, the tooth is carefully uncovered and an orthodontic attachment may be placed. Working together with your orthodontist, we can help guide your natural tooth into its proper position, allowing you to preserve your own tooth whenever possible.
🦷 Surgical exposure + orthodontic treatment = a team approach to restoring your natural smile.
If your child has a tooth that is not erupting normally, talk with your orthodontist about whether a surgical exposure may be appropriate.
