Conditions We Treat​

Impacted teeth are teeth that don’t fully emerge through the gums. This is common with wisdom teeth, baby teeth, and sometimes even adult teeth. These issues often result from overcrowding, extra teeth, or growths that block the path.

Impacted teeth can cause discomfort, misaligned bites, and difficulty chewing—especially in children. In some cases, there may be no noticeable symptoms until we spot the issue on an X-ray.

At Park Mall Dentist, we offer effective solutions for impacted teeth. Depending on the case, we may work closely with an orthodontist to gently guide the tooth into place. For wisdom teeth, extraction is often the recommended approach to prevent future problems.

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, usually emerge in the late teens or early twenties and often lead to oral health issues. In fact, nearly 90% of people will experience at least one impacted wisdom tooth, meaning there isn’t enough space for it to come in properly.

Because they sit at the very back of the mouth, wisdom teeth can be difficult to clean, making them more vulnerable to decay, infection, gum disease, and even cysts or tumors in the surrounding tissue. They can also push against neighboring teeth, causing misalignment and discomfort.

In many cases, wisdom teeth are positioned close to nerves, sinuses, or other important structures. That’s why it’s essential to have them evaluated and, if needed, removed by a skilled dental professional. At Park Mall Dentist, we prioritize both your safety and comfort when it comes to wisdom tooth care.

Missing teeth can affect more than just your ability to eat, speak, and smile comfortably. The impact goes beyond function and appearance—when a tooth is lost, the surrounding teeth can shift out of alignment, leading to the need for orthodontic treatment. Additionally, the lack of tooth roots in the jawbone can cause the bone to recede, which may lead to further tooth loss and give your face a sunken or prematurely aged appearance.

Dental implants, considered the “gold standard” for tooth replacement, can help prevent these issues. Whether due to extraction or trauma, dental implants allow you to enjoy the foods you love, speak and smile with confidence, and restore your self-esteem. They look natural, feel comfortable, and provide long-lasting results.

Even if you’ve experienced bone loss, our skilled team can address it with bone grafting before placing your dental implants to ensure the best possible outcome.

The health of your jawbone relies on the stimulation from tooth roots and the regular motion of chewing. When teeth are lost and not replaced promptly, the bone can begin to deteriorate. This bone loss can lead to a number of short- and long-term issues, including the risk of losing more teeth in a "domino effect." It can also cause your facial features to sag, giving your face an aged, hollow appearance.

Fortunately, at Park Mall Dentist, our team is highly trained in treating even the most severe cases of bone loss. We offer a range of solutions to restore both function and appearance, helping patients avoid living without teeth. In addition to single and full-mouth dental implants combined with bone grafting, we also provide zygomatic implants. These specialized implants are designed for patients with significant bone loss. Placed in the facial bones beyond the jaw, zygomatic implants offer long-term stability and support.

Jaw misalignment occurs when your upper and lower teeth don’t fit together properly when you bite down. This can lead to a variety of issues, including headaches, facial pain, and even ringing in the ears. In more severe cases, misalignment can affect your ability to eat, speak, breathe, and sleep comfortably. Additionally, facial asymmetry can cause uneven features, which may make you feel self-conscious about your appearance.

While mild misalignment can often be addressed with orthodontic treatment or a mouthguard, more severe cases may require surgical intervention. If your jaw is misaligned or your facial features are uneven, our experienced team is here to help. We can provide surgical solutions to correct these issues, improving both function and appearance, so you can enjoy a more comfortable and confident life.

Finding cysts or tumors on your face or jaw can be alarming, and they can also cause discomfort. While some may not be as serious as they seem, the only way to know for sure is through a professional evaluation. Our team can assess the situation using advanced imaging or a biopsy, where a small sample of the growth is removed for lab testing.

Once we have a clear diagnosis, we will determine the best course of action, which may include jaw surgery, medical treatment, or a combination of both. In some cases, surgery may involve removing the cyst or tumor along with portions of the jawbone, teeth, or soft tissue. As experienced dental professionals, we specialize in these procedures, and after surgery, we offer follow-up treatments such as bone grafting and dental implants to restore the function and appearance of your teeth, helping you return to a normal and comfortable life.
