While wisdom teeth are the most commonly impacted, other teeth, such as canines, can also become impacted and fail to erupt properly. Dr. Yallourakis specializes in exposing and guiding these impacted teeth into their correct position, often in collaboration with an orthodontist. This procedure is crucial for achieving a functional bite and a beautiful, complete smile. Don't let impacted teeth compromise your smile! Book your appointment with the award-winning Dr. Yallourakis today. (423)-246-8211.

When bone grafting is needed for dental implants, Dr. Yallourakis might discuss different types of grafts. Autogenous grafts use your own bone, typically from another part of your jaw or hip, offering excellent compatibility. Allografts use donor bone, which is safely processed and sterilized. Each has its advantages, and Dr. Y will recommend the best option based on your specific needs and the extent of bone regeneration required. Questions? call us at (423)-246-8211.
