Often referred to as exodontia or tooth pulling, tooth extraction is a common dental procedure. It involves the complete removal of a tooth from its socket.
This simple dental procedure can be used to address several oral concerns. In many cases, dental experts recommend tooth extraction to control pain and eliminate discomfort.
Dental extraction involved the removal of your tooth from your mouth. You can approach Dr. Brisman for this service when:
If you’re the anxious type, you should know what kind of symptoms to expect after having several teeth pulled. You can keep yourself calm by reminding yourself that a small amount of bleeding is normal after this type of procedure. You also must look out for food debris that might get stuck in the area where the teeth were removed. As long as you picked up the right recovery materials before you went to your dentist appointment, you should be able to handle these after effects without too much discomfort.
Please contact Brisman Implant and Oral Surgery(BIOS) if you would like more information about tooth extraction. If you are currently in pain and require immediate care, we will take care of you right away. If it is after hours, please call our main number.

Bone loss in the jaw occurs when one or more teeth have been lost to tooth decay, periodontal disease or any types of injury. When the teeth cannot stimulate the jaw bone, the bone around missing teeth starts to deteriorate. Over time, the jaw bone can deteriorate to a point that there may no longer be enough bone tissue to place dental implants. In these cases, you may need to undergo a bone grafting procedure on Brisman Implant and Oral Surgery in New York.
Bone grafting involves replacing or augmenting missing bone around the teeth and in areas where teeth are missing. It is often recommended before dental implants and other tooth replacement procedures at Brisman Implant and Oral Surgery.
Typically, jawbone loses density due to resorption. Within the first year of tooth loss, you can lose up to 25 percent of your bone density in that particular area. It only continues from there. That is because teeth and roots provide stimulation to the jawbone and that stimulation is a signal to the brain that your jaw is serving its primary purpose. When teeth fall out, that stimulation is reduced or eliminated completely. As a result, the body begins to leach calcium from the jaw for use elsewhere. If you know that you are going to lose a tooth, do not hesitate to schedule an appointment since there are certain procedures that can prevent or limit the amount of resorption.
Other reasons for a loss of bone density is periodontal (gum) disease, developmental defect, injury or decay, and infections. Visiting BIOS on a regular basis for preventative care can help you reduce these risks.
If you have lost bone density, your jawbone may no longer be thick enough for an implant. When replacing your teeth with dental implants, a dentist will be surgically placing a small titanium post under your gums and securing it to your jawbone. As such, your jawbone must be dense enough to support the post. Think of it in the same way as if you were building a piece of furniture. The wood you were using would need to be thick enough for the screw. Otherwise, it would not be able to screw in all the way. A bone grafting procedure can increase the density of your jawbone so that the titanium post is a perfect fit.
Images will need to be taken of your bone so that the dentist and surgeon can create a plan for how to augment it. This is typically done using a CT scan. Additionally, you will need to decide whether you want to use processed bone or have bone taken from somewhere else in your body.
Most likely you will be put to sleep for this procedure. No matter what, the area will be numbed with anesthesia. This applies to your gums and to any area from which bone is being removed. Next, an incision will be made in your gum tissue and a flap created so that your bone is visible. This allows the surgeon to identify exactly how much bone needs to be placed there. If a bone is being taken from somewhere else, an incision will be made so that the bone can be extracted at this time. Grafting material will be placed where the bone once was and that area will be stitched up. Next, the new bone will be anchored to your jawbone using a titanium screw. Other grafting material may be used to surround that new block of bone. Some surgeons may also place membrane material around the bone graft. Afterward, the area will be closed and stitched.
For the process to be completed, it usually takes several months. This is because your body will either be building new bone around the grafting material or fusing your jawbone with the bone that was added from somewhere else in your body. Naturally, this is a slower process but once completed, your dental implants can be placed and they should be far more secure as a result.
If you are experiencing symptoms of bone loss, bone grafting can restore your facial forms where bone tissue may be missing in the mouth.
The best way to find out if you need a bone grafting procedure is to call us and schedule an appointment. At Brisman Implant and Oral Surgery, we can take X-rays and let you know if your bone is lacking in density. We can then make a recommendation for treatment and discuss a bone graft solution for you.
Temporomandibular disorder commonly referred to as TMJ is a somewhat common disorder that can cause a variety of negative symptoms. The temporomandibular joint is the primary joint that connects your jaw to the temporal bone in the skull.
TMJ treatment begins with a thorough exam of your teeth and jaw. Impressions of your teeth, x-rays, and CT scan will be taken. Dr. Adam Brisman will ask you a series of questions about your symptoms and examine the joint as you open and close your mouth. The exams and tests are all done for TMJ to properly diagnose your condition in order to create the best treatment plan for you.
Patients with TMJ can experience symptoms that are mild or severe. In any case, it is important to get the following symptoms checked out by Dr. Adam Brisman, so he can give you more data regarding the condition.
TMJ symptoms include:
The best way to tell if you have TMJ disorder is by visiting a dentist. We will be able to perform a series of tests and x-rays to identify any jaw disorders.
There are several types of TMJ disorders, each of which requires different treatment. Because each type produces similar symptoms, it’s important to get an examination to sort out the exact source. From there, Dr. Adam Brisman can begin effective TMJ treatment in NYC patients.
TMJ falls into three main categories:
While the precise cause of TMJ disorder is often unclear, some risk factors might make you more likely to develop TMJ disorder, including:
If you experience pain and discomfort from TMJ, schedule a consultation with Dr. Adam Brisman. TMJ is a stressful and bothersome disorder that can create other problems with your health, so it’s best to find out what the best possible treatment is for you.

Wisdom teeth or third molars often erupt during adulthood. By this time, the mouth has developed a complete set of teeth, and the size of the jaw has stopped growing. It could be the reason why wisdom teeth frequently become difficult. When there is no room in the mouth for another molar, or when the third molar stands out in an awkward position, it typically results in complications.
Wisdom teeth should be removed early to avoid surgical complications and decrease the risk of potential problems during surgery. It is encouraged to have wisdom teeth removed prior to breaking the surface, due to the risk of infection. If the teeth do impact gum surface, the surgery will be more difficult to perform. The longer one waits, the longer the recovery time will be and there is a much higher risk of procedure complication. The typical recovery time is two to three days of resting and avoiding any strenuous activity, accompanied by a soft food diet for three to seven days.
New York Oral Surgeon, Adam S. Brisman, D.M.D. understand that each patient is unique and so are their teeth. Whether or not you need to have your wisdom teeth removed by a dentist, we really depend on the size of your palate. If you have plenty of room for all of your teeth and your third molars, they can stay in place. There is no point in removing something that grows in straight and is healthy. However, any tooth that grows in impacted needs to be removed because it is posing a direct threat to your other teeth and roots in addition to being a target for infections. The best way to find out if your wisdom teeth should be removed is to call (212) 348-0020 and schedule an appointment. We can make a recommendation and answer any other questions you have about the procedure itself.
The first 48 hours are critical since this is when you may experience bleeding, pressure, and swelling. After this, it can take a week or two to recover. Your actual recovery time will be based on the procedure and whether or not your wisdom teeth removal was completed with surgery.
To facilitate healing after wisdom teeth removal, make sure you get plenty of rest. Drink lots of water and avoid alcoholic, caffeinated and hot beverages for the first 24 to 48 hours. And of course, everyone’s favorite part of the healing process, eat soft foods such as ice cream and yogurt for the first day. You can add in soups one to two days after the procedure, but stay away from hard or chewy foods for one to two weeks.
Schedule a consultation and let our best surgeons assess your teeth. The only way to find out if your wisdom teeth must be removed is through an X-ray, and then analyzing its results. Get your questions asked during your consultation, our highly trained medical staff will be glad to provide answers. For the healthiest teeth and mouth possible, call BIOS to schedule an appointment today.
Dental implants refer specifically to the titanium post inserted into the jaw, which acts as a replacement to the natural root. It needs to heal before the process can be completed. Start-to-finish, it can take up to a year for a dental implant, especially if the patient needs to build up bone mass first.
Once the titanium post is ready, an abutment and crown, or restoration, goes on top of that. When it’s finished, it has the look and function of a natural tooth.
Despite these facts, dental implants can still fail in certain situations. For this reason, we at Brisman Implant and Oral Surgery (BIOS) make sure that you are aware of the possible causes of dental implant failure.
A dental implant is essentially a prosthetic which the body needs to learn to “accept.” Failure may occur if the body “rejects” the prosthesis. In this case, the body can reject a dental implant if the patient becomes allergic to titanium, the most commonly-used material for dental implant abutments, after the procedure.
Remember that the mouth is one of the most inhospitable environments in the body. With saliva being acidic, introducing a foreign material like the metal abutment of a dental implant into the oral cavity can result in mild corrosion. As a result, the patient may develop an allergy.
Fortunately, allergic reactions are very rare, and corrosion only happens in specific situations:
Poor oral hygiene is another common cause of implant failure. Titanium implants may be durable, but they still require proper care, after all.
This includes thorough brushing. Bacteria exist in the mouth, and although it has its uses, it can also be harmful to your oral health. With regard to dental implants, bacteria can form around them and the surrounding tissues, resulting in implant failure.
If you already have implants or are about to get one, take care not to neglect your oral hygiene. This is the simplest rule of dental care, yet most people ignore it. Don’t be one of them, make difference.
The success of a dental implant also depends on the skill of the dentist. If an inexperienced dentist incorrectly positions the implant, it can result in osseointegration failure.
Osseointegration refers to the merging or anchoring of the dental implant to the jawbone. This process can take a couple of weeks after the procedure. In some cases, however, the implant fails to connect to the jawbone. As mentioned above, incorrect positioning is a cause, along with low bone density, bone or tissue trauma, and nerve damage. Dental implant failure is inevitable even if you do your utmost to care for your implants.
Led by an accomplished Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon Dr. Adam Brisman, BIOS provides quality dental implants in New York and nearby areas.
Dental implants, which are surgically inserted into your jaw, feel and function just like your own teeth. They are also made to match your natural teeth, making it virtually impossible to tell the two apart. Plus, they offer many other advantages:
Removable dentures can slide off when you’re eating and, sometimes, when you’re speaking. But with implants surgically placed into your jaw, you gain more tooth stability. In turn, you can chew, eat, and speak better and more comfortably.
Other tooth replacement options such as dental bridges require grinding down the adjacent teeth so that the bridge can be cemented on them. By contrast, dental implants don’t compromise any adjacent teeth as they are directly placed into the missing tooth’s space.
Dental implants in New York is made from titanium, which is known for being durable. Thus, with proper and regular care, dental implants will last many years, perhaps even a lifetime.
Since dental implants are designed to fuse with bone, they become permanent. In turn, they eliminate the inconvenience of removing dentures every night, as well as the need for putting messy adhesives to keep them in place.
When performed by a specialist, dental implant procedures have a high success rate. Clinical studies even indicate a success rate of greater than 95%—and that is higher than any other tooth replacement option.
Take back your smile and eat your favorite foods with confidence and zero pain with durable, convenient and permanent implants from the best Oral Surgery center in New York!
You are if you’re in good health and have healthy gums and adequate bone to support an implant. You must be committed to thorough oral hygiene to keep your mouth healthy and schedule regular dental visits. Ask Dr. Adam Brisman if implants are an option for you and reserve your dental implant consultation.
Dental implants provide excellent long-term value and can be a terrific investment in long-term oral health. Reduce the risk of dental implant failure. Practice good oral hygiene habits and choose our experienced dentists to perform the procedure. Contact Brisman Implant and Oral Surgery today.

What do you do after getting dental implants? https://t.co/fM0LcC3Pjm

If you are trying to find an another option to dentures and want to replace your missing teeth, dental implants could be for you. Dental implants are a common long-term approach for restoring your smile. Most people decide to get dental implants after they have suffered from losing their teeth due to a wide range of reasons. Dental implants give you back your freedom from missing teeth.
Those who are in general good physical health and are seeking a long-term answer for their missing teeth are candidates for dental implants. This also includes those who are tired of dentures and are looking for a more convenient and hassle-free alternative.
Practicality: dental implants are a long-term solution for restoring missing teeth. They have the added advantage of being a permanent attachment in your mouth as opposed to dentures that can be rough on the gums and can result in difficulty talking.
Easier eating: you might have discovered that eating has become more difficult with missing teeth. A dental implant allows more efficient chewing and will allow you to indulge in your favorite foods once more.
Enhanced aesthetics: Dental implants look and feel like genuine teeth. They can be made with the exact same color and form as your neighboring teeth, making them 100% natural looking
Self-confidence: Dental implants can give you a younger appearance and improved self-esteem. You may end up smiling more than ever with your new implants.
The good aspect of dental implants is that they involve the very same maintenance as real teeth. This means routine brushing, flossing and regular dental checkups. If cared for properly, your new implant can last you a lifetime!
Brisman Implant and Oral Surgery is here to help with your dental implant needs! Contact our office today and we’ll help you decide if implants are the right course of treatment.
While it is true that the most obvious effect of missing teeth is a gap in your smile, missing teeth can cause other problems that you might not be immediately aware of. For example, did you know that for every missing tooth you have you lose 10 percent of your chewing ability? Read on to get a better idea of how a missing tooth can affect your life.
Surrounding Teeth
A missing tooth usually means more stress for the remaining teeth. In addition to that, if you are missing a tooth on the lower jaw, the opposing tooth on the top can grow longer to fill the gap in a process known as superuption or extrusion. This could lead to teeth tilting and move out of place by drifting into the space that was left by your missing tooth – a disaster for your beautiful smile!
Digestive Health
If you are missing teeth, you can’t enjoy all of the foods that you are used to eating – bad for your health and bad for your mood! Say goodbye to caramel apples, saltwater taffy, crunchy carrots and even gum. And because the variety in your diet is reduced when a tooth is missing, digestive problems are unfortunate yet common.
Decay and Hygiene Problems
The shifting of your teeth may cause new hygiene issues as it may be difficult to brush and floss like you normally would. This leaves your mouth more vulnerable to gum disease and tooth decay.
Facial Aesthetics
People with more than one missing tooth may also have issues with a collapsed bite which causes a loss of vertical dimension. This could make your face appear shorter, as the distance between the tip of your nose and your chin would decrease.
The good news is that you don’t have to suffer anymore! Dental implants can help you avoid all of the problems listed above and let you live your life normally again. It’s never too late for a dental implant, give us a call at our New York Oral Surgery Office to find out about this life-changing procedure.
So, your dentist tells you that you need your wisdom teeth extracted and you’re feeling a bit anxious. Here’s all the things you should know before you go in for surgery (and tips on how to ensure a quick recovery) so you can go into the procedure feeling prepped and ready.
Essentially, there isn’t adequate space for wisdom teeth because our jaws don’t develop to be large enough to have enough space for them to grow correctly. Since there isn’t enough room for them to emerge appropriately, wisdom teeth have the tendency to come in at a slant or they don’t completely surface (this is called impacted wisdom teeth), which causes problems for the rest of the your teeth.
Third molars (also known as wisdom teeth) often cause problems with the teeth right next to them, called second molars. Dentists suggest taking out wisdom teeth before they end up being a problem and to steer clear of a more invasive surgery.
Our jaws are much smaller than they used to be. That’s not due to evolution– it’s due to the fact that our modern-day diet does not have a number of key nutrients that make it possible for the jaw to develop correctly.
One vitamin specifically, Vitamin K2, is accountable for allowing the jaw to develop by taking calcium in the body and putting it into the bones. The majority of people don’t grow up consuming the type of food where you would get Vitamin K2– liver and organ meat in addition to animal products from animals that eat grass (not grain or corn). The low-fat food craze of the 90s, along with factory farming, have practically wiped out Vitamin K2 from our diets.
That’s why, nowadays, an undersized lower third of the face is so typical that it has ended up being the norm. Our ancestors and small indigneous groups not consuming the present day diet had excellent jaw growth with plenty of room for all 32 teeth to come in straight.
So, how do you find out if your jaw developed completely? It hinges on your childhood years. Eating raw, crispy foods rich in the nutrients found in organ meats and grass-fed animal fats are what promote adequate jaw growth. These days, childhood diets are heavy in soft, nutrient-poor foods like applesauce and Goldfish crackers. Bottlefeeding and sippy cups can also impair suitable jaw progression. Our diets have become too soft and our jaws aren’t developing fully thanks to lack of use.
The main reason we extract wisdom teeth is to stop them from harming other healthy teeth. Typically, wisdom teeth emerge perpendicularly to the teeth next to them (your second molars). When wisdom teeth grow sideways like this, it can cause problems with your bite, generates an area where food gets captured, wears away both of the teeth, and can even trigger an agonizing infection. So, if you pass up the surgical procedure today, it’s very likely to cause difficulties and issues in the future.
But what if the wisdom teeth don’t ever come in? If your wisdom teeth don’t erupt and you leave them in, there is a 25% chance that the epithelial lining around the wisdom tooth will end up being cancerous. I discovered this in my mom while I was in dental school and it was properly eliminated, but it was a complex procedure. This is just one of the many reasons that you get your wisdom teeth out sooner, instead of later, in life.
Naturally, if you were born with no wisdom teeth, then you can disregard the rest of the guide because you’re all good ! This is not to be confused with people who still have wisdom teeth in the bone that haven’t erupted yet. A limited portion of the community is born without wisdom teeth and those people never have to get surgery.
Normally about one week. From time to time, it’ll be as short as three to five days to recover, but that’s often just for uncomplicated surgery cases with no impaction or other conditions.
What type of anesthesia you select. – You’ll have the ability to recover a lot faster if you have just local anesthesia or nitrous than if you have to go under.
Your healthy eating plan during recovery. – In almost every situation, I see a lot of people who have a plain diet of Jell-O and ice cream recover more slowly.
Preventing a dry socket. – A lot of people prolong healing for several weeks by not following proper procedure after the surgery– including utilizing a straw, not trying to keep the head raised, or brushing their teeth too soon after surgery. See my tips for how to speed up wisdom teeth recovery and how to prevent a dry socket.
I always advise seeing an experienced New York Oral Surgeon. Oral surgeons have seen it all, and if the unforeseen arises during the course of your surgery, it won’t be a shock to them. But having said that, there are a lot of regular dentists who do wisdom teeth removals regularly and are exceptional. Just make certain you see a dental practitioner or oral surgeon who does this kind of surgery frequently. Wisdom teeth surgery has a high complication rate if not performed in the hands of a professional.
Make certain your dentist is using a dental drill exclusively for oral surgery. The exact same drill that general dentists use for fillings and crowns must not be used for wisdom teeth surgery, as it can cause an air embolism, a serious problem. Ask your dentist, “are you using an electric/pneumatic hand-piece that is designed for oral surgery?”
