24531 Trabuco Rd., Suite H, Lake Forest, CA 92630 Occasionally, our dentist may need to recommend orthodontic tooth exposure to help a tooth erupt properly. This procedure may be needed if a tooth becomes impacted, or trapped below the gumline and unable to erupt properly. By exposing the impacted tooth, we can help it emerge correctly and ensure that it becomes properly aligned with your other teeth.
