Tooth extraction refers to the removal of a tooth. The extraction of a tooth is avoided whenever it is possible, but occasionally our dentist must pull the tooth. The removal of a tooth may be necessary to return your smile to good health and function.

Dental implants are a long-lasting restorative treatment that can restore damaged smiles. Dental implants can be placed to replace one or more missing teeth, and when cared for properly, can last for the rest of your life. Dr. Osborn has extensive experience in the use of dental implants. It can completely replace a single tooth or implants can anchor bridges, crowns or dentures. Your dental implant will be custom-made to fit your smile comfortably and beautifully.

Gum recession is the loss of gum tissue along the gum line and subsequent exposure of the roots of teeth. It can occur as a result of periodontal (gum) disease, the natural aging process, or inadequate or overaggressive brushing and flossing. Common signs of gum recession include overly sensitive teeth and tooth mobility, and teeth that appear longer than others. Gum recession can often cause significant problems for your dental health when left untreated.

The use of metals in your fillings, crowns and bridges can potentially pose a health risk. Additionally, the use of metal in your teeth can increase your sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures. Silver fillings can be unattractive in your smile too, drawing unwanted attention to your dental restorations. As an alternative, our dentist offers healthy alternatives like composite dental fillings, which can stabilize your damaged tooth, while looking completely natural.

Do you have trouble staying asleep at night? If so, you might be one of the many people who suffer from sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is a sleeping disorder that causes interruptions and pauses in your breathing while sleeping. Obstructive sleep apnea is the result of obstructions in the airway, such as your tongue rolling back into your throat while sleeping. Sleep apnea needs to be diagnosed from a sleep physician. If you have already spoken with your physician, our dentist can help too!
