Dental Implants Shelbyville IN
Dental Implants are the most predictable and natural form of tooth replacement. Dental implants are changing the way people live. They are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth which look, feel and function like natural teeth.
What Are Dental Implants? The actual implants are tiny titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. These metal anchors act as tooth root substitutes. The bone bonds with the titanium, which creates a strong foundation for artificial teeth.
Once you learn about implant dentistry, you finally realize there is a way to improve your life. Implants help to preserve facial structure, preventing bone deterioration that may occur when teeth are missing. If your mouth is not ideal for implants, options such as bone grafting may be recommended for improved outcome.
Call Dr. Falender to schedule an appointment to see if you are a candidate for dental implants. Dr. Falender provides dental implants to Shelbyville and surrounding areas.

Wisdom Teeth Removal Shelbyville IN
An average mouth has room for 28 teeth. It can be painful when 32 teeth try to fit in. These last 4 teeth are your third molars, which are also known as "wisdom teeth."
Why Should I Have My Wisdom Teeth Removed? Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to erupt within the mouth. When they align properly and gum tissue is healthy, wisdom teeth do not have to be removed. Unfortunately, this does not usually happen.
Wisdom teeth may need to be extracted when they are prevented from properly erupting within the mouth. These poorly positioned impacted teeth can cause many problems. Removal of the offending impacted teeth usually resolves these problems.
Early wisdom teeth removal is recommended to avoid such future problems and to decrease the surgical risk involved with the procedure. Studies have shown that early evaluation and treatment of wisdom teeth result in a superior outcome for the patient. Patients are generally first evaluated in the mid-teenage years by their dentist, orthodontist or by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. With an oral examination and x-rays of the mouth, Dr. Falender can evaluate the position of the wisdom teeth and predict if there may be present or future problems.
Dr. Falender provides wisdom teeth removal to Shelbyville and surrounding areas.
IV Sedation Shelbyville IN
Falender Oral Surgery and Dental Implant Center offers our patients the option of Intravenous Sedation or Dental Intravenous Anesthesia for their dental treatment. Intravenous sedation or "IV sedation" (twilight sedation) is designed to better enable you to undergo your dental procedures while you are very relaxed; it will enable you to tolerate as well as not remember those procedures that may be very uncomfortable for you. IV sedation will essentially help alleviate the anxiety associated with your treatment.
