Osteoplasty

Osteoplasty is a dental procedure that alters the shape of bones. The process fuses together the bones surrounding an impacted tooth, making it possible for it to erupt into its proper position.

Osteoplasty is commonly used to address impacted teeth that are lying beneath other teeth or deep within jawbones. The dentist may also use osteoplasty to straighten crooked teeth and correct damage to the enamel, gums, roots, and supporting bone structures caused by previous dental procedures. This technique can restore your mouth’s natural beauty and function if your dentist determines that other corrective measures are too costly or impractical for you.
