In some situations, wisdom teeth may remain in place without creating noticeable concerns. If these teeth grow in correctly and can be cleaned properly, our dentist may recommend monitoring them during regular examinations. Routine assessment helps identify whether surrounding teeth and gums remain stable over time.
If wisdom teeth grow at an angle or become partially trapped beneath the gum, they may contribute to dental issues. Food and bacteria can collect around the area, which may increase the risk of irritation or infection. In these cases, our dentist may discuss treatment and explain whether removal may be considered.
Regular examinations help dentists monitor the position and condition of wisdom teeth over time. This approach supports preventive care and helps identify changes before they affect nearby teeth or gum health.

Dental implants provide a way to replace lost teeth by positioning a titanium post within the jawbone to serve as an artificial root. Once healed, it can support a crown or other restoration designed to restore function and appearance.
Implants may be considered alongside other restorative treatments when teeth are missing or damaged. They can also be used to support dentures, improving stability during eating and speaking. Our dentist will review your condition and discuss whether implants may be appropriate for your situation.
When a tooth is lost, nearby teeth may gradually shift. Replacing missing teeth with implants may help maintain spacing and support the alignment of neighbouring teeth. Our dentist may discuss implants alongside other options, such as clear aligners or Invisalign, when addressing changes in alignment.
