Sedation Dentistry for Oral Surgery
Our Anchorage dental implant center provides safe, controlled IV sedation and general anesthesia to ensure your smile transformation or oral surgery experience is as comfortable as possible. At Take 2 Dental Implant Studio, our advanced sedation dentistry services can help keep dental anxiety at bay and benefit patients who require a more in-depth treatment plan.
During your surgical consultation, our dentist will assess your health history and unique needs to determine the safest, most effective sedation method for you.
Bone Graft Surgery
In certain cases, where there may be insufficient bone structure to support the implant securely, supplemental bone grafting procedures can be conducted. At Take 2 Dental Implant Studio, these grafts may utilize bone from the patient’s own body or donor tissue and are strategically placed before the actual implant surgery.
This preparatory step is vital to ensure that the implant root has a solid and stable foundation, ultimately contributing to the success of the implantation process and the long-term stability of your dental restoration.
Our Bone Restoration Expertise
With our specialty in challenging cases, our dental implant experts handle advanced bone grafting surgeries in Anchorage, including atrophic jaw restoration with Zygomatic and Pterygoid Implants, a rarity in Alaska with just two providers. If you need advanced bone graft surgery to ensure your jaw can more effectively support dental implants, contact us or ask Dr. Burk about the possibilities with advanced bone restoration!
Sinus Lift
Sinus lift surgery, also known as maxillary sinus elevation, is performed for patients who do not have enough bone height to successfully support a new dental implant, or whose sinuses may be too big or too close for an implant. This surgery allows for greater implant stability using a bone graft. Dr. Burk and is team will typically perform sinus lift surgery to provide more security for dental implants.
Healing And Osseointegration of New Bone
Traditional dental implants, consisting of titanium roots, necessitate a patient’s patience for a healing period lasting between 3 to 6 months post-implantation. During this interval, the surgical site experiences a process of recovery and bone regrowth around the implant.
The significance of this healing time lies in the ultimate stability it ensures for your dental appliance, creating a strong foundation for a lasting, functional, and natural-looking restoration that can significantly enhance your oral health and quality of life.
Tooth Extractions
Our dentist can extract teeth that have become damaged beyond repair, making way for your new smile with implant restorations. Our Anchorage dental team will assess your smile with a dental exam and set of digital x-rays to determine the best surgical treatment plan for your needs!
Frenectomy
Our doctor can perform frenectomies on children who experience dysfunction in the lips and tongues related to the frenum. A frenum or frenulum is a small piece of tissue that attaches either the upper lip to the gum tissue, or the tongue to the floor of the mouth. In some children, the frenum may be attached too tightly, causing tongue-tie, impaired speech, problems with eating or drinking, pulling on the gums, and more.
A frenectomy involves the provider making a small incision within the frenum, to allow for greater movement of the lips and restored function of the tongue. This non-invasive, quick procedure can be done right here in the office with a local anesthetic to produce results within minutes. The incision site usually heals in a few days with little to no discomfort!
