Proactive Care
A timely investment in your oral and maxillofacial health is an investment in your quality of life. Consider the following:
- Dental implants are long-term replacement teeth. They don’t decay. They never slip or make noise like dentures. Individuals who choose dental implants report greater comfort and confidence.
- Wisdom teeth often “grow in” between ages 14 – 24. Most of us do not have enough space in our jaws to accommodate these additional teeth. Removing them in a timely manner minimizes the possibility of complications due to impaction and other issues. Less pain, less disruption to other teeth.
- Oral cancers, when detected early, have a high recovery rate. Regular dental care means oral cancers are likely to be detected early. Your dentist will refer you to an oral and maxillofacial surgeon to be evaluated if you have sores or lumps in your throat or mouth.
- Jaw problems affect chewing, eating, and breathing. And that can affect our ability to gain proper nourishment and to sleep – two activities essential to quality of life. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons can correct these jaw problems and even improve your appearance.
Aurora BayCare oral and maxillofacial surgeons can help you gain, or regain longer-term life quality.
