Sinus Lift Surgery
A sinus lift, also known as a sinus augmentation, is a surgical procedure performed at Pocock Family Dental to increase the amount of bone in your upper jaw, specifically in the area of your molars and premolars. This procedure is often necessary before placing dental implants, as the sinus cavity in the upper jaw can sometimes interfere with implant placement due to insufficient bone height.
During a sinus lift, Dr. Andy Pocock will carefully lift the sinus membrane and add bone grafting material, creating a stable foundation for future implants. This procedure enhances the success and longevity of dental implants, allowing patients with limited bone density to achieve a functional and aesthetically pleasing smile.
Wisdom Teeth Extraction
Wisdom teeth extractions, a common procedure at Pocock Family Dental, are performed to remove the third molars, which often cause problems as they emerge. These teeth can become impacted, meaning they are trapped beneath the gums or bone, leading to pain, infection, and damage to adjacent teeth. Dr. Andy Pocock will assess the position and condition of your wisdom teeth using X-rays, determining the best course of action.
Wisdom tooth extractions can range from simple to more complex procedures, especially in cases of partial-bony impactions, where the tooth is partially erupted and embedded in bone. During a partial-bony wisdom tooth extraction, Dr. Pocock will carefully remove the tooth while minimizing trauma to the surrounding tissues, ensuring a comfortable recovery and preventing future oral health complications.
Tooth Extractions
When a tooth is beyond repair due to severe damage, decay, or impaction, tooth extractions at Pocock Family Dental are performed with your comfort as our top priority. Dr. Andy Pocock and his team use local anesthesia to minimize any discomfort during the gentle and efficient procedure, whether it's a simple or complex extraction. We'll provide detailed post-extraction instructions to ensure smooth healing and a quick return to your routine. Recognizing that extractions can be stressful, we're dedicated to providing compassionate care and addressing all your questions.
Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy is a vital procedure aimed at preserving your natural tooth when it becomes infected or severely inflamed. This involves meticulously removing the infected pulp, thoroughly cleaning and shaping the root canals, and sealing them to prevent future infection. Dr. Pocock and his team employ advanced techniques and local anesthesia to ensure a comfortable, pain-free experience. By eliminating the infection, we help you avoid tooth extraction and maintain your overall oral health. We understand root canals can be daunting, and we're committed to delivering gentle, effective care to restore your tooth's healthy function.
