Types

Common Types of Supernumerary Teeth

Supernumerary teeth can take various forms, each presenting unique challenges for treatment. Recognizing these types is crucial for effective management and maintaining oral health.

Wisdom teeth removal
Mesiodens
These extra teeth appear near the upper front teeth and are notorious for causing severe gaps, rotations, and impaction of permanent teeth. Our specialized surgical removal prevents these critical alignment issues, ensuring a straight, beautiful, and stable front smile.
Wisdom teeth removal
Parapremolars
Located adjacent to the premolars, these extra formations often disrupt orthodontic treatment or prevent the proper eruption of vital teeth. Our precise diagnostic and removal techniques guarantee the obstruction is cleared safely, allowing for the correct eruption and alignment of the entire bite.
Wisdom teeth removal
Distomolars
Positioned far behind the main molars, these complicated teeth can be a source of chronic, hard to clean infections, crowding, and cyst formation. We use advanced imaging and surgical planning to access and remove them gently, eliminating future threats to your jawbone and posterior oral health.
