Common Dental Conditions We Treat

Impacted Teeth

When a tooth fails to erupt properly—often due to overcrowding, extra teeth, or obstruction—it becomes impacted. Commonly seen with wisdom teeth, but also with baby or adult teeth, impacted teeth can cause pain, misalignment, and even infection. Using advanced diagnostics, we can determine the best treatment, which may involve surgical removal or collaboration with an orthodontist to guide the tooth into position.

Problematic Wisdom Teeth

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, often become impacted because there isn’t enough room for them to erupt properly. They can cause pain, swelling, decay, gum disease, or even cysts and damage to nearby teeth. Because they’re located near important structures like nerves and sinuses, they require precision and expertise to remove safely. Dr. Obeidi offers gentle and precise wisdom tooth extractions in Houston, TX using advanced technology and sedation options for your comfort.

Broken or Infected Teeth

Tooth fractures and infections are common, often caused by trauma or untreated decay. Whenever possible, we’ll attempt to save your natural tooth through restorative procedures such as root canal therapy or crowns. However, if a tooth is beyond repair, extraction may be necessary. We’ll discuss your tooth replacement options—like same-day implants—so your smile remains healthy and functional.

Missing Teeth

Missing teeth can lead to more than just a gap in your smile. Over time, neighboring teeth shift, jawbone begins to deteriorate, and facial appearance can change. That’s why we recommend dental implants—the gold standard for tooth replacement. They look, feel, and function like real teeth and preserve jawbone health. Even if you’ve experienced bone loss, bone grafting may restore your candidacy for implants.

Sleep Apnea Treatment

Do you snore loudly, wake up gasping for air, or feel tired throughout the day? You might be one of the millions of Americans living with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). For mild to moderate cases, we offer custom oral appliances designed to keep your airway open, improving your sleep—and your health.

TMJ Disorder & Bruxism

Chronic jaw pain, clicking, headaches, or waking with a sore jaw? You could be suffering from TMJ disorder or bruxism (teeth grinding). Left untreated, this can lead to serious dental damage and jaw dysfunction. We offer custom night guards and bite therapy to relieve discomfort, protect your teeth, and restore harmony to your jaw joint.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Ali was amazing!!!

I had been needing a canine exposure for a couple of months now, and my orthodontist had repeatedly stated that the success rate of pulling down one of my canines was 20%. When I met Dr. Ali, he was concerned, but determined. The surgery was difficult and lengthy, but he managed to do it! He was very considerate of how I was feeling before, during, and after the procedure. In addition, he also stayed in touch with me afterwards, just in case issue arose at home, and encouraged me to call him whenever needed. When I returned to my orthodontist two weeks after the surgery, she remarked that my wounds looked as if they had been healing for months! That truly showed me how exceptional Dr. Ali’s work was. I feel incredibly honored and blessed.

FAQ

1. What should I do if I have severe tooth pain or swelling?

Severe tooth pain, swelling, or sensitivity may indicate an infection, cracked tooth, or impacted tooth. These conditions can worsen quickly, so it’s important to seek treatment promptly. At Elite Dental Specialists in Houston, we offer same-day emergency appointments to diagnose and treat the cause of your pain—often providing relief during the same visit.

2. How do I know if my wisdom teeth need to be removed?

You may need wisdom tooth removal if you experience:
• Jaw pain or swelling
• Crowding or shifting teeth
• Difficulty opening your mouth
• Recurrent infections or gum inflammation
• Sinus pressure or headaches

A 3D CBCT scan allows Dr. Obeidi to determine whether your wisdom teeth are impacted and whether extraction is recommended.

3. Can an infected or badly broken tooth be saved?

In many cases, yes. Depending on the severity, treatment options may include:
• Root canal therapy
• Dental crowns
• Bonding or buildups

If the tooth cannot be saved, we’ll discuss extraction and same-day implant options to preserve bone and restore your smile quickly.

4. What are the best options for replacing missing teeth?

The most effective replacement depends on your oral health, bone structure, and goals. Options include:
• Dental implants (the gold standard)
• Implant-supported bridges
• Snap-on implant overdentures
• Traditional dentures
• Dental bridges

Dr. Obeidi will review your goals and 3D imaging to recommend the best long-term solution.

5. Can sleep apnea be treated without a CPAP machine?

Yes. For mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, many patients benefit from a custom oral sleep appliance. This device keeps the airway open during sleep by repositioning the lower jaw. It’s comfortable, portable, and often preferred by patients who cannot tolerate a CPAP machine.

6. What are the symptoms of TMJ disorder?

Common signs of TMJ/TMD include:
• Jaw clicking or popping
• Headaches or ear pain
• Limited jaw movement
• Facial muscle soreness
• Pain when chewing

Treatment options at our Houston office include custom night guards, bite therapy, and full-arch rehabilitation depending on the severity.

7. Can bone loss from missing teeth be treated?

Yes. Bone loss can often be reversed or improved through bone grafting, sinus lifts, ridge augmentation, or immediate implant placement. Restoring the bone increases your eligibility for dental implants and helps maintain facial structure.
