Oral surgeries offered at Rugby Dental Arts include:
Dental Extractions
At Rugby Dental Arts, our team can restore your healthy smile with safe dental extractions! Dr. Cox and his team work closely with patients in Charlottesville, VA, and beyond to preserve natural teeth to maintain a healthy jawbone. However, when a tooth that is severely damaged or infected, it may not be possible to save it — in this case, tooth extractions are the best treatment to resolve pain and restore oral health. With today's advancement in anesthetics, and the gentle approach taken by our team, tooth extractions are more comfortable and seamless than ever before.
Wisdom Tooth Removal
The most common tooth removal involves the third molars, also known as wisdom teeth. Wisdom teeth are the last to appear in the mouth, often when there is little to no room to accommodate these teeth. Wisdom tooth eruption often causes the tooth to be impacted, partially or fully underneath the gums. Impacted wisdom teeth can be painful and may harm the surrounding teeth, leading to discomfort, crowding, and even infection.
The skilled team at Rugby Dental Arts will evaluate the development of wisdom teeth during your regular preventive check-up appointments and determine if impacted tooth removal is necessary. With your comfort in mind, the team will place a numbing gel on the gums, then provide an anesthetic to minimize pain during your procedure.
Root Canal Therapy
If you are dealing with a severe toothache or damage to your natural tooth resulting in pain and discomfort, it is time to contact your Rugby Dental Arts team for an evaluation. Dr. Cox offers a range of solutions for relieving pain and restoring smiles in his state-of-the-art Charlottesville dental office. For severe tooth pain, infection or a dental abscess, root canal treatment may be necessary to save the tooth from extraction. This procedure includes removing the infected dental pulp from inside the affected tooth.
Root canal therapy itself isn't painful; instead, it's often the condition that brings the patient to our office for root canal therapy that is the true cause of their discomfort. Root canal therapy offers effective treatment by removing the pulp within the tooth that keeps it alive, and houses the nerves that cause pain. Dr. Cox and his team will do everything they can to provide non-invasive treatment and prioritize your comfort.
At Rugby Dental Arts, root canal therapy is often performed as the last effort before removing a tooth permanently. Our team will always do everything we can to preserve your natural teeth! Before your root canal therapy, Dr. Cox provide all the information you need to know about what to expect before, during and after your root canal therapy.
