Our top oral surgeries in Midlothian include:
Frenectomies
At Penterson & Booth Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, our experienced dentists offer frenectomies, a straightforward and often rapid procedure to address tight or restrictive frenula – the small bands of tissue connecting the gums to the lips, tongue, or cheeks. When these frenula are overly restrictive, they can lead to various concerns, including tongue-tie (potentially causing breastfeeding or speech difficulties), gum recession around the front teeth, or persistent gaps between the upper front teeth. Utilizing advanced techniques, often including minimally invasive laser technology for enhanced precision and faster healing, a frenectomy carefully releases this tissue. This improves oral function, resolves related issues, and ultimately promotes better long-term oral health, comfort, and even aesthetics.
Tooth Extractions
If a tooth extraction becomes the most beneficial path for your overall oral health, you can rely on the gentle and skilled care provided by the experienced dentists at Penterson & Booth Family and Cosmetic Dentistry. While our primary goal is always to preserve your natural teeth, extraction may be necessary in situations such as severe decay that cannot be restored, advanced gum disease threatening surrounding teeth, traumatic injuries, or problematic impacted wisdom teeth. We are committed to ensuring your comfort throughout the process, utilizing gentle extraction techniques and effective local anesthesia to minimize any discomfort.
Following your procedure, our dedicated team will provide you with comprehensive aftercare instructions to promote optimal healing and will thoroughly discuss all suitable tooth replacement options, such as dental implants, bridges, or dentures, to help you regain a complete, functional, and confident smile.
