Oral & Dental Surgery - The Mint Dental

SURGICAL PROCEDURES

Extractions

Dr. Damien Armstrong provides gentle tooth extractions at Mint Dental in Chattanooga, TN, to prevent overcrowding and alleviate risk of further complications from damage or decay. We will always do our best to avoid an extraction through conservative restorative treatments, including dental fillings, crowns, or root canal therapy. However, in some cases, when a tooth is beyond repair and your oral health is in jeopardy, a tooth extraction may be necessary. Dr. Armstrong can perform simple extractions for teeth that are fully emerged. For teeth that are impacted, we will refer you to a local oral surgeon.

Gum Contouring

We is committed to helping our patients look and feel their best by providing precise, flattering gum contouring to create a more proportionate smile. At Mint Dental, we understand that excess gum tissue can produce an uneven gumline and gummy smile, giving the appearance of disproportionate teeth while distracting from the beauty of your smile. This cosmetic dentistry procedure reduces the amount of gum shown and lengthens teeth to create a more symmetrical gumline. With a wide range of experience in cosmetic and surgical dentistry, Dr. Armstrong will help you achieve a successful outcome and quick recovery.

Wisdom TeethRemoval

Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars that most people get in their late teens or early twenties. These teeth can be a valuable asset to the mouth when healthy and properly aligned, but more often than not, they are misaligned and require removal. Dr. Damien Armstrong provides gentle wisdom tooth extractions prevent overcrowding and alleviate risk of further complications.
