Overview

Expert Care for Impacted Canines

At Davis Oral Surgery and Implant Center, we understand how important it is to maintain a healthy smile. Impacted canines in Davis occur when upper canine teeth fail to properly emerge from the gums, often due to crowding, misalignment, or other factors. While this condition is most common with upper canines, it can happen with any tooth and may cause pain, infection, or damage to surrounding teeth if left untreated. Impacted canines can be partially visible or completely trapped beneath the gum line, often going unnoticed until complications arise. Dr. Amir Nojoumi and Dr. Pouya Namiranian specialize in diagnosing and treating impacted canines, helping patients restore their health and function.

Symptoms of Impacted Canines in Davis

While some impacted canines in Davis remain asymptomatic, others can cause noticeable symptoms. Some common signs that you or your child may have an impacted canine include:

Pain or swelling in the gum tissue
A visible bulge in the gum above the impacted tooth
Difficulty chewing or discomfort when biting down
A misaligned or crooked smile, as other teeth shift
Problems with bite alignment
Bad breath due to infection in the area of the impacted tooth

If any of these symptoms occur, consult our team to diagnose the problem and discuss treatment options.

The Benefits of Treating Impacted Canines

Treating impacted canines is crucial to maintaining both oral health and function. When an impacted tooth remains in place, it can push against nearby teeth, causing misalignment and further complications. An impacted canine can also lead to tooth decay, gum disease, and even the loss of surrounding teeth if left untreated.

By addressing impacted canines early, Dr. Nojoumi and Dr. Namiranian can prevent future problems and ensure your smile remains healthy. Treatment options depend on the severity of the impaction and the patient’s age, but most treatments aim to move the impacted tooth into its proper position.

How We Treat Impacted Canines at Davis Oral Surgery and Implant Center

At Davis Oral Surgery and Implant Center, we utilize advanced diagnostic tools, such as digital X-rays and 3D imaging, to assess the location and positioning of impacted canines in Davis. This allows us to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. Depending on the case, there are several treatment options we may recommend, including:

Orthodontic Treatment: In many cases, an oral surgeon will work closely with an orthodontist to create a space for the impacted canine. Braces or other orthodontic devices can gradually move the teeth into their correct positions.
Exposure and Bonding: If the impacted canine is near the surface, we may perform a minor surgical procedure to expose the tooth. Once exposed, we attach a small bracket to the tooth to help it erupt through the gum line with orthodontic treatment.
Surgical Extraction: In severe cases where the impacted canine is causing significant problems or cannot be repositioned, surgical removal may be necessary. This procedure involves carefully extracting the impacted tooth to prevent damage to surrounding teeth and tissues.

Comfort and Care at Every Step

We know that undergoing any procedure can be daunting, especially when it involves surgery. We prioritize your comfort by offering amenities such as cozy blankets and pillows to help you relax during your visit. Additionally, we offer flexible financing options through CareCredit and Cherry to make treatment more accessible.

I’m not a patient at the center, but the help I have received from them is beyond words. I’m here at UCDavis to help my niece (19 year old international student) with her medical and dental care needs after an electric scooter accident. I work as an administrator in medical field in another State, it has been very hard for me to get things done that she needs here. I was looking for a dental surgeon after her jaw surgery, and nobody from School Student Health and insurance company could point me to the right direction. The provider’s list provided by the insurance company is outdated. I was searching online and I found the Center. I didn’t see the Center is on the insurance list, but a feeling told me to give them a call. I’m so glad I did. Angela was the sweetest person I have encountered over the phone. Her compassion and caring heart just poured out after she heard my niece’s story. Even though their office won’t be able to help with what my niece needs, she still went above and beyond to offer help. She took initiative to call the surgeon’s office to get the surgery info to help moving forward. In today’s world, you don’t see or hear something like this happen anymore, I am very grateful for experiencing this in Davis, CA. It gives me hope for the society and the values people still hold. They can do this for a stranger, can you imagine what they will do for their own patients ? So if you are looking for an oral surgeon’s office, I highly recommend the Center to you! They don’t know that I’m posting this ( I normally don’t), this is from the bottom of my heart. Thank you Angela, I wish the best for you and the Center. Wen DePriest

Dr. Albadawi, the technicians, and the staff are all very polite, professional, and a treat to be served by! I had two implants set today and the process was smooth and easy. I've been here once before and the level of service and care is spectacular. Definitely recommend for any oral surgery needs 😊

I don’t always share on here but I wanted to. I was terrified to get my wisdom teeth taken out. I have been avoiding it for years and finally I broke one of my wisdom teeth was having such bad pain from the break I had no choice. I searched for a few days for an oral surgeon to take them out and all had a long wait time. I called on a Friday and by Monday I was getting my wisdom teeth removed. Mind you this was days before Christmas. So I was so glad to find a place to squeeze me in on short notice. Even though I was terrified, the pain was so bad I needed to do it. The team was so friendly and supportive even though I was extremely afraid. They talked me through the prep process and that was super helpful. I wish I could remember the woman’s name who held my hand while I was going under she was truly so helpful. I was so nervous and afraid and she was very friendly (and so was everyone else) but her holding my hand really helped me when I was scared. It’s been 10 days post op and I’ve healed up very well. I still have some soreness and discomfort but every day it gets better and I’m sure I’ll be back to myself in no time. I highly recommend this place if you need oral surgery.

My daughter had to have all four wisdom teeth removed, a week before she moved into her college dorm at Davis. She was so nervous and had to be fully put under. It was extremely hard for me waiting in the waiting room and not being there for her, but, from start to finish everyone was absolutely amazing. The gals at the front desk kept me distracted while the surgeon and his team took great care of my baby girl. Let me just add, we were supposed to have her teeth pulled at another oral surgeon, but something about them made me so uneasy and overly anxious. I didn’t think I had an option to take my girl somewhere else since they were referred by our dentist. However, motherly instinct set in and I called Davis Oral Surgery, they verified insurance, did a consult and scheduled her. All within a week. Thank you Angie and your partner (shame on me for not knowing her name), for your kindness and PATIENCE!! even though I called like five times. I was so stressed and overwhelmed and from the moment I called you, and you assured me it would be okay and I felt so much better. It doesn’t seem like a big deal to most, but my daughter is all I have so everything is a big deal to me. So thank you! Thank you 🙏🏼
