Canine teeth are critical for a functional bite and a properly aligned smile. When these teeth fail to erupt correctly, they become "impacted," which can lead to dental crowding or damage to neighboring roots.

Dr. Minto works closely with local orthodontists to help guide impacted canines into their proper positions. This specialized procedure involves exposing the tooth and utilizing orthodontic brackets to ensure it erupts safely and effectively.

Early intervention is key to achieving the best results for your oral health and alignment.

Professional Tooth Extractions in Fairhope

While the goal is to save your natural teeth, an extraction is sometimes the most effective way to eliminate pain and prevent the spread of infection. Whether due to trauma, overcrowding, or decay, Dr. Minto provides a safe and comfortable environment for this essential procedure.

Our team focuses on specialized care to minimize discomfort and ensure a smooth recovery process. We also discuss long-term replacement options, like dental implants, to maintain the integrity of your smile after the tooth is removed.

Missing teeth affect more than just your smile, they can impact your bone health and ability to eat comfortably.

Dental implants are the gold standard for tooth replacement because they look, feel, and function like natural teeth. Unlike other options, implants help preserve your jawbone and provide a permanent solution that can last a lifetime.

Dr. Minto specializes in precise implant placement to restore both your confidence and your oral function.
