Here's how dental implants work. Think of them as a strong foundation for your new smile. A tiny titanium post is placed in the jawbone, where it fuses naturally and acts like a tooth root.

When’s the right time to schedule a wisdom tooth consultation for your teen? Early screening is key.

You should schedule their consultation, ideally by the age of 16 or 17, to identify potential issues, even if their wisdom teeth aren't causing symptoms yet. At Finger Lakes Oral Surgery, Dr. Bonniwell can use digital imaging to see how wisdom teeth are forming, whether there’s enough room for them, and if they’re growing in the right direction. Spotting potential problems early helps prevent issues like crowding, damage to other teeth, cysts, or infections. Schedule your teen's wisdom teeth consultation: 607-266-8600
