Tooth Extraction and Replacement
In other cases, severe decay may compromise the tooth, putting your jaw and surrounding teeth at risk. Extraction may also be required due to deep-seated infection, orthodontic requirements, or complications with wisdom teeth. If removal is necessary, we may recommend replacing the tooth with a bridge or dental implant to maintain your smile's integrity.
The Extraction Process Each tooth sits in a "socket" within the jawbone, held firmly by a ligament. To perform an extraction, the dentist carefully expands the socket and separates the tooth from this ligament. While the procedure is typically very quick, we encourage you to discuss any sedation preferences or concerns with us beforehand to ensure your comfort.
Why Replacement Matters Once a tooth is removed, neighboring teeth often begin to shift into the empty space. This movement can lead to chewing difficulties and interfere with your jaw joint function. To prevent these complications, we provide professional replacement options to restore both the function and alignment of your bite.
