Healthy Smiles of La Grange

Dental services

Wisdom Teeth Extractions
Before Dr. Qureshi begins extraction treatment, the patient will be given general anesthesia, local anesthesia, or IV sedation based on his or her preferences. The surgery takes place at our in-office surgery suite on an outpatient basis. Once the wisdom teeth are out, the dental staff provides the patient with instructions for post-procedure care. Dr. Qureshi may write a prescription for pain medication for patients who desire additional help with pain and swelling.

Dental Implants
Dental implants are metallic posts which a dentist surgically inserts into the jawbone underneath your gums. With these in place, it will be possible to mount replacement teeth onto them, replacing the missing tooth.

Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry has been seen as an art, not a science, because of its significant impact on a person’s physical appearance. La Grange dentists use several different procedures in order to improve patients’ smiles and overall confidence. Some treatments can be costly, but this is balanced by excellent results. If you are unhappy with your smile and unsure of what to do, cosmetic dentistry is the perfect option.

Periodontics
The term “periodontics” refers to the dental specialty that pertains to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease that affects the gums and jawbone. The gum tissues serve to surround and support the teeth and the underlying jawbone anchors teeth firmly in place. Periodontists have completed several years of extra dental training and are concerned with maintaining the function, health and aesthetics of the jawbone and tissues.
