Impacted Wisdom Tooth Extraction

The extraction of impacted wisdom teeth is a common dental procedure performed to alleviate pain, prevent complications, and preserve oral health. These teeth, which may not have enough space to fully emerge or grow in the correct position, can cause discomfort, swelling, and infection. Skilled dental professionals, such as those at Dr. Joyce Wu Dental (Richmond), utilize specialized techniques and anesthesia to safely and effectively remove impacted wisdom teeth. By addressing this issue promptly, patients can experience relief and prevent potential oral health problems associated with impacted wisdom teeth. 

Implant

Implants are a cutting-edge dental solution used to replace missing teeth. These titanium posts are surgically placed into the jawbone, serving as artificial tooth roots. Once integrated with the surrounding bone, implants provide a sturdy foundation for attaching customized dental crowns, bridges, or dentures. Dr. Joyce Wu Dental (Richmond) specializes in implant dentistry, offering patients a reliable and long-lasting option for restoring their smiles. With Dr. Joyce Wu Dental Clinic’s team expertise, patients can regain full dental functionality, improve their oral health, and achieve a natural-looking, confident smile with the help of dental implants.

The All-on-4 treatment concept is an innovative dental solution for individuals with multiple missing teeth or who require full arch tooth replacement. Dr. Joyce Wu Dental (Richmond) specializes in this advanced technique, which involves strategically placing four dental implants to support a full arch prosthesis. This efficient and cost-effective treatment provides patients with a secure and functional set of teeth that look and feel natural. All-on-4 offers improved chewing ability, speech, and aesthetics, allowing patients to regain their confidence and enjoy the benefits of a complete smile. 

Cyst Removal

Cyst removal is a surgical procedure performed to eliminate cysts that develop in the oral and maxillofacial region. Dr. Joyce Wu Dental (Richmond) offers expert cyst removal services to ensure the well-being and oral health of patients. During the procedure, the cyst is carefully excised and the affected area is thoroughly cleaned and treated. Cyst removal not only alleviates discomfort and prevents potential complications but also promotes proper healing and preserves the integrity of surrounding structures. Dr. Joyce Wu Dental (Richmond) provides professional care to ensure a safe and successful cyst removal experience. 

Biopsy

A biopsy is a diagnostic procedure performed to investigate abnormal tissue or cells in the body. Dr. Joyce Wu Dental (Richmond) offers professional biopsy services to help diagnose oral conditions and diseases. During a biopsy, a small sample of tissue or cells is collected from the affected area and sent to a laboratory for analysis. This analysis provides valuable information about the nature of the abnormality, allowing for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment planning. Dr. Joyce Wu Dental (Richmond) ensures a safe and precise biopsy procedure to aid in the identification and management of oral health concerns.
