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 impactedbecause 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 extractionsin 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 proceduressuch 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 graftingmay restore your candidacy for implants.
