Exposure and Bracketing of Impacted Teeth In Muncie, IN

There are times that teeth do not erupt into proper position and get “stuck” or impacted. The cuspid, or canine tooth, is often the one that becomes impacted and needs assistance in bringing it into proper position; however, it can occur with any tooth. Rather than extracting the impacted tooth, you may need the tooth to be surgically uncovered and have a bracket cemented on it. This procedure will allow your orthodontist to move the impacted tooth into its proper position.

This procedure is done in an office setting and takes approximately 45 minutes. Patients generally are given an oral sedative and Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas) for the procedure. Recovery time ranges from one to two days, allowing the patient to resume normal activities quickly.

If you have questions regarding exposure of impacted teeth, please call our office at (765) 289-9705, and we will be more than happy to assist you.

5-star reviews in Muncie, IN and counting…

Great place! I get very anxious at dentist so I don’t go. I had a infected molar that needed to come out and I’m pregnant. Dr. Hornaday was extremely quick with the extraction. The paperwork at first took longer than the extraction. I read a lot of reviews before coming and I read a lot about not being numbed good enough so I was worried but I was completely numbed. There was still a sensitive spot and I said so and it was numbed up. He was great and so was all the staff. Very nice and caring.

Dr hornaday is the best doctor I’ve seen in a while. Went to have a wisdom tooth pulled and was in and out in under 15-20 mins. I would definitely recommend him to others as well! His staff were also very friendly and helpful and nice to talk to! Definitely a plus!

I had a great experience today! I have never had nitrous oxide or anything cut out. Somehow, I wasn’t super nervous. The building is very comfortable and relaxing. The employees are all super kind and caring. When I went in today, they didn’t put pressure on the fact that I was having my wisdom teeth cut out. They just walked in, talked to me the whole time about fun stuff, and I was out of there in like 7 minutes. 🙂 I would recommend him to anyone and everyone!

One of my teeth had become infected and I was in some of the worst pain I had ever experienced in my life and it needed to be removed. Dr. Hornaday and his staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. The extraction took barely any time at all and with virtually no pain. If I could give a higher rating I 100% would. I'm so happy.

I had a really quick and easy wisdom tooth surgery today! I’ve been putting this thing off for YEARS! They had been causing me so much pain and I decided it was time to get them out. Dr. Hornaday was amazing and I felt calm the entire time even though I struggle with a lot of anxiety! I really recommend this office and their staff. My nurse, Renee, was fantastic for both the consultation and surgery. Thanks for making this inconvenient procedure a walk in the park for me! 😁
