Wisdom teeth can sometimes grow at an angle, harm neighboring molars, or cause structural damage to the jaw. This area may also develop a cyst or infection that harms your bone, gum tissue, and adjacent teeth. It’s essential to receive an evaluation from a dentist experienced in wisdom teeth surgery to determine if and when they should be removed.

At New Smiles Dental, our goal is to save a natural tooth, but if it doesn’t respond to conservative treatment, extraction may be necessary.
Teeth might be removed for these reasons:
By restoring bone levels in your jaw, our Sherwood, OR team can treat infection and disease and replace missing teeth with restorations like dental bridges and dentures as well as prepare you for dental implants. Having a smile restored to proper function and esthetics can significantly improve your confidence, health, and quality of life!
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a biocompatible material created from the patient’s blood, which contains a high concentration of platelets, growth factors, and fibrin. The process of obtaining PRF begins with a simple blood extraction, followed by centrifugation, which separates the blood components. This results in a fibrin matrix that is rich in platelets and growth factors, essential for healing and tissue regeneration. Unlike traditional platelet-rich plasma (PRP), PRF is a more natural option that doesn’t involve additives, making it a safer choice for patients.
