Impacted teeth are those that haven’t erupted fully through the gums. They can occur with stubborn baby teeth, wisdom teeth, and sometimes permanent adult teeth. There are various reasons why adult teeth can have a difficult time erupting. Among the most common reasons are a higher-than-normal number of teeth in the mouth, obstructive growths, and overcrowding from surrounding teeth. Impacted teeth can cause several problems for the patient starting at an early age.
If these teeth cannot come in fully, the child may have difficulty eating normally, as well as pain and tooth misalignment. In many other cases, symptoms may not appear until an X-ray presents the issue. We can offer a few options to resolve impacted teeth, including working with an orthodontist to guide the tooth to the proper placement. In the case of wisdom teeth, we often recommend extraction.

Impacted Teeth

Commonly known as “wisdom teeth,” third molars typically emerge during the late teenage years or early 20s and can potentially cause various oral health problems. Almost 90% of people have had at least one impacted wisdom tooth, indicating insufficient space for the teeth to erupt into a normal position. Their location in the very back of the mouth makes them hard to clean and, therefore, more prone to decay, infection, gum disease, pain, and even the development of cysts or tumors in the surrounding tissues!
They can also throw neighboring healthy teeth out of alignment. Often, wisdom teeth are located close to nerves, sinus cavities, and other teeth, so you must have a skilled expert remove them if they become impacted. As board-certified dentists, we’re exceptionally qualified to remove your wisdom teeth while maintaining comfort and safety.

Problematic Wisdom Teeth 

Teeth can become broken or infected for several reasons, including trauma and decay. Bacterial buildup due to poor dental hygiene is often the cause of dental infections. Sometimes, repairs, medications, or a combination of both enable our doctors to save your tooth. In such cases, we thoroughly evaluate your teeth to determine the treatment best suits your issue. When extensive damage or decay occurs, some teeth cannot be rehabilitated through treatment. Though we do our utmost to preserve your natural teeth, extraction may be our only option.
The extraction process for most teeth is pretty straightforward. After making you comfortable with anesthesia, we gently grip the tooth with forceps and carefully pull it loose from the socket. Once removed, unless it’s a wisdom tooth, it should be replaced to restore the function and esthetics of your smile and protect your jaw from deterioration. Dental implants are the best overall tooth replacement option, not just in function and aesthetics but also for long-lasting performance.

Broken & Infected Teeth

Missing teeth can limit your ability to eat, speak, and smile comfortably, and they may have more profound implications beyond simple chewing function and smile esthetics. Teeth rely on each other for support. When one is missing, the teeth on either side of the gap can shift out of alignment, eventually requiring orthodontic treatment. Further, the absence of tooth roots in the jawbone can cause the jawbone to begin receding, leading to further tooth loss and giving your face an unhealthy, sunken, and even prematurely aged appearance!
Dental implants, recognized as today’s “gold standard” for tooth replacement, can prevent you from experiencing any of those issues. Suppose you follow a tooth extraction or trauma-related tooth loss with dental implant placement. In that case, you can continue eating the foods you love, speak and smile without embarrassment, and even significantly boost your self-confidence. All this can be yours since nothing looks more authentic or lasts longer than our dental implants in Linden, NJ. Even if you’ve already begun to suffer bone loss, our board-certified dentists can reverse it through bone grafting before placing your dental implants.

Missing Teeth

Your jawbone relies on the stimulation of tooth roots and the regular sensation of chewing to keep it healthy. The bone can deteriorate with tooth loss unless those missing teeth are replaced quickly. This bone loss has many short-term and long-term consequences. You can lose more teeth through a “domino effect” of tooth loss. Your facial features can sink, and an aged, unhealthy look can replace your distinctive appearance you won’t want or even recognize.

Severe Bone Loss

We treat periodontal disease using the advanced <a href="/periodontics/lanap-procedure">LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure)</a> technology, providing a minimally invasive and effective solution. LANAP targets and removes diseased tissue precisely, leaving healthy tissue intact while promoting regeneration and healing.
This innovative laser treatment helps reduce gum inflammation, reverse bone loss, and encourage the reattachment of gums to the teeth. Compared to traditional gum surgery, LANAP offers less discomfort, quicker recovery times, and improved long-term oral health. Our goal is to restore your gum health while ensuring your comfort throughout the process.

LANAP for Gum Disease Treatment

Treating loose dentures typically involves adjustments and enhancements to improve their fit and function. Denture adhesive can provide temporary relief by enhancing stability, but a more permanent solution often requires professional intervention. We may adjust the dentures&#8217; fit by adding or reshaping the acrylic base or changing the clasps for better retention.
In some cases, denture relining or rebasing may be necessary to ensure a snug fit against the gums. For individuals experiencing severe looseness or discomfort, implant-supported dentures offer a long-term solution by anchoring the dentures securely to dental implants in the jawbone.

Loose Dentures

Discolored teeth can significantly impact your confidence and willingness to smile. Whether caused by coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, or natural aging, tooth discoloration can make even the healthiest smiles appear less attractive. At Magic Smile Dental, we offer <a href="/cosmetic-dentistry/professional-teeth-whitening/">professional whitening treatments</a> designed to restore the natural brightness of your teeth.
Our advanced whitening procedures are safe, effective, and tailored to your specific needs, ensuring optimal results. With our expert care, you can achieve a radiant smile that enhances your overall appearance and boosts your self-esteem. Say goodbye to discolored teeth and hello to a brighter, more confident smile with our professional whitening treatments!

Discolored Teeth

Mishappen, discolored, or cracked teeth can affect your smile&#8217;s appearance and function. These imperfections, whether from injury, wear, or natural development, can diminish your confidence and impact your oral health. We offer <a href="/cosmetic-dentistry/porcelain-veneers/">porcelain veneers</a> and <a href="/cosmetic-dentistry/dental-crowns-bridges">crowns</a> as effective solutions. Veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of your teeth, providing a natural and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
On the other hand, crowns encase the entire tooth, restoring its shape, strength, and function. Both options are crafted from high-quality materials that blend seamlessly with natural teeth, offering durable and long-lasting results. With veneers and crowns, we can transform your smile, enhancing its beauty and functionality while boosting your self-esteem.
