The number one most important thing in my opinion when doing a tooth extraction is making sure the patient is very numb. And I’m not one of those dentists that is just going to say hold on to the chair and we’re going to get this tooth out. I make sure you’re very numb and we test out all of the areas that we’re extracting teeth before we actually take the tooth out. And we make sure that it’s a very comfortable experience. After a tooth is removed, we have a bunch of different options depending on the situation or the case. Implants would be one option. We can replace the missing tooth with an implant. Sometimes we’re able to put a bridge in the area to restore that missing space. And then we also offer dentures to replace missing teeth.
Take Out a Tooth to Keep Your Smile
We try our best to save your teeth if at all possible. Yet, sometimes getting a tooth removed is best for your health or to get ready for other dental treatments. We perform extractions if the tooth is very damaged or decayed and cannot be fixed or if it’s infected and could harm nearby teeth. You may also need an extraction to prepare your mouth for orthodontics or dental implants.
No matter why your tooth needs to be removed, our gentle staff will take good care of you. We will listen to your needs and answer all of your questions. We want you to feel calm and relaxed during the procedure! Ask about our sedation options.
Dental Implants Are a Great Choice for Replacing Teeth
Replacing missing teeth promptly is important to maintain proper bite alignment. It preserves both the look and function of your smile. Dental implants are a highly effective solution. Here’s why:
- Implants are versatile. They can be used to restore anything from a single missing tooth to a full arch.
- They help maintain jawbone health by mimicking the natural stimulation once provided by tooth roots.
- Crowns or bridges supported by implants don’t rely on neighboring teeth, which helps preserve their integrity.
- Implant-supported dentures offer improved stability and bite strength, without the need for adhesives.
