Get Help For an Impacted Canine
When a canine tooth becomes impacted - trapped beneath the gums instead of erupting normally - it can affect both your bite function and smile esthetics.
These corner teeth play a vital role in guiding your bite and maintaining facial structure. Our office treats impacted canines using advanced surgical methods that are minimally invasive and highly effective.
Our surgical approach carefully exposes the trapped tooth while preserving surrounding healthy tissue. We create a clear path for the tooth to move into its proper position.
The procedure is performed under anesthesia, plus IV sedation is always available. This ensures your comfort throughout the surgery. By addressing impacted canines early, we can help prevent future complications and guide your tooth into its natural position within your smile.
We Offer Impacted Tooth Exposure
When a tooth remains trapped in the jawbone or gum tissue instead of emerging normally, specialized surgical intervention is often necessary to prevent complications.
Dr. Calat and our team perform impacted tooth exposure procedures to address these trapped teeth before they can damage neighboring teeth or cause painful infections. Using advanced 3-D imaging technology, we locate the impacted tooth and plan the most conservative surgical approach.
Our careful technique preserves healthy tissue while creating a path for the tooth to emerge. We use special instruments to help guide the tooth into its proper position. This comprehensive approach helps ensure fast healing and optimal results.

Frequently Asked Questions About Orthodontic-Related Procedures
How do I know if I have an impacted canine tooth?
Signs of an impacted canine include gaps where the tooth should have emerged, overcrowding, and sometimes pain or swelling in the gum area. However, many impacted teeth are discovered during routine dental X-rays. Your regular dentist or orthodontist will typically notice this during regular checkups and may refer you to our office for evaluation.
Is the impacted tooth exposure procedure painful?
The procedure is performed under anesthesia, ensuring you're comfortable throughout. While you may experience some mild discomfort for a few days after surgery, most patients manage well with over-the-counter pain medication. We provide detailed post-operative instructions and prescription pain medication if needed.
Will my insurance cover impacted tooth exposure surgery?
Many dental and medical insurance plans provide coverage for impacted tooth exposure when it's deemed medically necessary. Our experienced billing team will verify your benefits before treatment and explain your coverage. We also offer financing options to help make treatment more affordable.
