Services Overview:

Extractions

Whether your wisdom teeth are starting to bother you, or you have a tooth or teeth that are no longer repairable, the dentists at Van Hoof Dental are trained to help with removing teeth in a comfortable manner. In addition to standard tooth extractions, our practice also deals with more complex cases, including wisdom teeth and teeth with advanced decay or damage.

Dr. Van Hoof and the dental team are skilled in navigating these challenges, employing a combination of expertise and technology to ensure the best outcomes. Patients at Van Hoof Dental can expect a thorough pre-surgical assessment, including imaging and a detailed discussion of the procedure, to ensure you are fully informed and comfortable with the process.

Bone & Tissue Grafts

At Van Hoof Dental, we understand that tooth extraction is just the beginning of the journey towards oral health. Following a tooth extraction, a hole is left in the jaw bone. A bone graft, performed by our experienced Appleton oral surgeon team, is used to fill in this hole so that healing is faster and the surrounding bone is supported. This will, in turn, allow for future implant placement should you decide to replace the missing tooth.

When it comes to bone and tissue grafts, our team provides personalized care, ensuring each patient receives the best possible treatment for their specific needs. With our expertise, patients can look forward to a speedy recovery and a solid foundation for any future dental procedures.

Crown Lengthening

Crown lengthening is a oral surgery procedure that is necessary when a defect or cavity spreads below the gum line. In order to get a long lasting and aesthetic final crown or filling on the tooth a crown lengthening procedure needs to be performed.

Patients coming to us for crown lengthening can expect a detailed consultation, where we discuss the procedure, its benefits, and any concerns they may have. Our goal is to ensure every patient feels informed and comfortable throughout their treatment journey.

Gingivectomy

If you are unhappy with your “gummy smile” or have uneven levels of gum tissue, ask us about your options. This procedure simply involves reshaping of the gum levels to enhance your smile!

The benefits of gingivectomy extend beyond cosmetic enhancement. For some of our patients, removing excess gum tissue can also improve oral hygiene, as it reduces areas where plaque and bacteria can accumulate. The Van Hoof Dental oral surgical team ensures that each gingivectomy is tailored to the patient’s individual needs.

The Van Hoof Oral Surgical Process

The oral surgery process at Van Hoof Dental typically spans several weeks to months, depending on the complexity of the procedure. Multiple surgeries may be performed simultaneously if necessary. After the surgery, it’s crucial to allow time for proper healing. During this recovery period, you may receive temporary solutions to help you maintain normal functions such as eating and speaking.

These temporary measures also ensure that your appearance remains as natural as possible during the healing phase. Once the healing is complete, any necessary follow-up procedures can be performed to finalize your treatment plan.

Benefits of Oral Surgery

Oral surgery offers a range of benefits that can significantly improve both your health and quality of life. These procedures are designed not only to address immediate health concerns but also to prevent future issues and enhance overall well-being.

One of the primary advantages of oral surgery is the restoration of function, whether it’s improving your ability to chew, speak, or breathe more comfortably. In addition to functional improvements, oral surgery can also have a positive impact on your appearance, boosting your self-confidence and overall satisfaction with your smile.

Key Benefits of Oral Surgery

  • Restored Functionality: Oral surgery can correct issues that interfere with chewing, speaking, and breathing, leading to better overall health and quality of life.
  • Improved Aesthetic Appearance: Many oral surgeries are designed to improve facial structure and symmetry, contributing to a more pleasing appearance.
  • Prevention of Further Health Issues: By addressing problems early, oral surgery can prevent more severe health complications down the line, such as infections or structural damage.
  • Enhanced Jawbone and Tissue Health: Certain procedures help preserve the health of the jawbone and surrounding tissues, preventing bone loss and maintaining facial structure.
  • Stability of Oral Structures: Oral surgery can ensure that the teeth, gums, and other oral structures remain stable, reducing the risk of further complications.
  • Boosted Self-Confidence: With improvements in both function and appearance, many patients experience a significant increase in self-confidence and overall well-being.
