Edmonton & St. Albert Impacted Teeth Treatment

Impacted teeth? We can help!

What happens when a tooth doesn’t erupt properly?

Impacted teeth occur when a tooth gets stuck beneath the gums and doesn’t emerge as it should. This is most common with wisdom teeth and canines. Left untreated, impacted teeth can lead to pain, misalignment, and even damage to surrounding teeth.

At Braces Orthodontics, we offer expert evaluation and treatment options tailored to your smile. Whether you’re dealing with discomfort or an orthodontist has flagged a concern, we’re here to help you navigate the next steps with clarity and confidence.

Your First Visit

Have questions about impacted teeth? We’ve got answers.

What causes a tooth to become impacted?

Teeth can become impacted due to lack of space, abnormal positioning, or genetic factors. Wisdom teeth and upper canines are most often affected.

What are the signs of an impacted tooth?

Symptoms can include swelling, pain, difficulty chewing, or gaps in your smile where a tooth hasn’t come in. However, many cases are painless and detected during routine x-rays.

What are the treatment options?

Depending on your situation, treatment may include exposing the tooth and guiding it into place, removing it, or creating space using orthodontics. We’ll walk you through your options during your St. Albert impacted teeth consult.
