Whether you need wisdom tooth extraction, dental implant placement, or another oral surgery procedure, we’re here to help you achieve optimal oral health and a beautiful smile.
Advancements in dentistry have enabled patients to restore and keep their teeth healthy for their entire life. There are, however, some occasions when a tooth may need to be removed (also known as an extraction).
A tooth may need to be extracted if the following occurs:
After careful examination and treatment, the dentist may advise to have a tooth extracted. Before a tooth is removed, an x-ray is taken in order to understand the shape and position of the tooth and surrounding bone. Based on the degree of difficulty, we may refer you to a specialist called an oral surgeon.
A certain amount of pain and discomfort is to be expected following an extraction. The pain is usually managed with a painkiller and ice packs applied to the face for 15 minutes at a time. After a routine extraction, discomfort should lessen within three days to two weeks.
Dental implants provide a strong, stable, and natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth. These titanium posts are surgically placed into the jawbone, fusing with the bone to create a secure foundation for replacement teeth.
Benefits of Dental Implants:
If you’re missing teeth, dental implants may be the right choice for you. Schedule a consultation with our team to learn more.
