Dr. Bobby Grossi performs a variety of oral surgery procedures, but specialize in those that are relative to the most common dental surgeries: wisdom teeth removal, root canal therapy and dental implants.

Wisdom teeth are the last or third set of molars in your mouth. If they’re not removed in time, they will erupt, usually during the late teens or twenties. Wisdom teeth get their name because they typically come later than regular permanent teeth.

While some will grow up fortunate enough to keep their wisdom teeth without problems, and some will grow up without having any wisdom teeth at all, others will grow up and their wisdom teeth will not. And what that means is the wisdom teeth or tooth will stay impacted in the jaw, likely causing headaches, infection of the gums, tooth decay or destruction of the jawbone. When wisdom teeth remain impacted, they’re likely to grow improperly. That’s why it’s important to maintain regular dentist appointments so the development of your wisdom teeth can be monitored.

When it comes to missing teeth, Dr. Bobby Grossi has a variety of solutions, but specialize in dental implants. While some may be in situations more severe, others may only need a single tooth implant. When you lose a tooth, biting and other strenuous activity in the mouth could cause the teeth around the gap to shift. In some cases, the teeth surrounding the space where the old tooth once sat may even extrude from the socket, which means those teeth, too, could eventually fall out. Loosing teeth may also make chewing food more difficult, which can ultimately affect the jaw. That’s why it is important to have a tooth replaced immediately after it falls out.

Other than the obvious benefits, implants are nearly indistinguishable from natural teeth and in most cases, appear better in appearance than older teeth that have been through decades of chewing, staining and normal wear and tear.
